The Courses
Eastbourne Downs
EASTBOURNE DOWNS GOLF CLUB JOINS THE SOUTH COAST CHALLENGE 2027 WITH CLASSIC DOWNLAND GOLF AND EXPANSIVE VIEWS ACROSS THE SUSSEX COASTLINE.
SET HIGH ABOVE THE TOWN ON THE EDGE OF THE SOUTH DOWNS NATIONAL PARK, THE COURSE OPENS WITH A STRIKING FIRST TEE EXPERIENCE. FROM THIS ELEVATED START, PLAYERS ENJOY PANORAMIC VIEWS OVER EASTBOURNE, THE ENGLISH CHANNEL, PEVENSEY BAY, AND ALONG THE COAST TOWARDS HASTINGS — EXTENDING AS FAR AS RYE AND DUNGENESS ON THE KENT COAST.
THE LAYOUT REWARDS STRONG COURSE MANAGEMENT. ROLLING FAIRWAYS, NATURAL UNDULATIONS, STRATEGIC BUNKERING, AND THE EVER‑PRESENT CHANNEL BREEZE MAKE CLUB SELECTION CRUCIAL. SEVERAL HOLES RUN ALONG THE TOP OF THE DOWNS, PROVIDING A SENSE OF SPACE AND QUIET THAT FEW COURSES CAN MATCH.
THE SIGNATURE MOMENT COMES AT THE 11TH, A BEAUTIFUL PAR 3 PLAYED ACROSS A VALLEY TO A GREEN FRAMED BY THE OPEN DOWNS. IT’S A HOLE THAT DEMANDS PRECISION AND DELIVERS PURE VISUAL REWARD.
WITH A WELCOMING CLUBHOUSE AND A COURSE THAT BALANCES PLAYABILITY WITH CHALLENGE, EASTBOURNE DOWNS PROVIDES A DISTINCTIVE AND MEMORABLE ADDITION TO THE 2027 LINE‑UP.
