Pyecombe Golf Club

Pyecombe Golf Club, on Clayton Hill near Brighton, was established in 1894 to a design by James Braid, one of golf's most prolific early course architects. The ground is downland, part of the South Downs landscape that rises behind the Sussex coast, and the layout takes in outlooks toward the Weald to the north. Visitors are welcomed on weekdays during the day and from midday at weekends, while golf societies can book rounds on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays through the year, with some Friday and weekend afternoon slots also available. The clubhouse sits alongside the course and forms part of the day for visiting groups as much as the golf itself. Pyecombe lies just north of Brighton, in the belt of chalk downland that separates the coastal resorts from the Sussex Weald further inland, an area long associated with sheep farming rather than seaside development. Contact for bookings and society enquiries runs through the club office at Clayton Hill, and the course remains a working example of Braid's approach to routing golf across open, rolling downland ground.

The club dates back to 1894, giving it roughly 132 years of history in Brighton.
