Burgess Hill Golf Academy

Burgess Hill Golf Academy centres on a nine-hole, par-27 short course alongside one of the larger floodlit, covered driving ranges in the south of England. The short course carries recognised championship status as a past venue for the PGA Short Course Championship, and its holes are built to offer a meaningful test despite the compact par, making it a popular stepping stone for players moving from the range onto a full course for the first time. No advance booking is required to play the nine holes, and clubs are available to hire, keeping the facility accessible to complete beginners as well as more experienced golfers fitting in a short practice round. PGA-qualified coaching is available on site, alongside an online shop selling equipment and clothing. The driving range operates daily from early morning until dusk, including weekends and bank holidays, giving flexible access outside typical club opening hours. Based on Cuckfield Road in Burgess Hill, the academy positions itself primarily as a practice and improvement venue rather than a traditional membership club, aimed at golfers working on their game as much as those playing a full round.
