Welcome to the Golf Hunter's 1st ever blog posting. I went to East Sussex National last weekend on a Sunday Special for only £99 that included one night dinner, b&b and two rounds of golf.
I had an awesome time in what is a great hotel. It is very spacious set over three levels and staff offer an exceptional level of service. It is an ideal resort golf break. Here are my thoughts on both courses:-
The East Course is a tough test of golf and probably hence why it was chosen to host 1993 and 1994 European Open. Well bunkered greens and fast fairways will test your skills to the maximum. The front nine will lull you into a false sense of security however the back nine is arguably one of the best stretch of finishing holes in Southern England.
The West Course is known as ‘The Members Course’ in the pro shop, it is the more scenic of the two courses. It is a lot tighter off the tee and has smaller geens so accuracy is very important. It surprisingly longer than the East Course but seems to play a little easier. Probably for that reason I enjoyed it more than the East Course. I managed to shoot somewhere near my handicap - came in with 35 stableford points to take the money! Both courses are in excellant condition.
Having been to quite a few golf resorts in England I rank this as high as any I have played. The hotel is a great addition to what has always been an awesome facility. I expect East Sussex National to become a very popular destination for golfers as soon as the word gets out!
