1The 1st Hole at Crowborough is a “once played, never forgotten” experience. Bernard Darwin said in 1926 “The first thing that will strike the golfer who comes fresh to Crowbo2The 2nd at Crowborough is a challenging and demanding hole, classified as Stroke Index 1 and arguably the hardest hole, maybe equal to the difficult 18th.3The short uphill par three 3rd has changed somewhat over the years. It was once surrounded by four large bunkers to the left and right, front and rear, it was similar to short hole4As you follow the path through the trees from the 3rd to the 4th, you are greeted with the sight of a challenging looking tee shot, as described by Architect Donald Steel in 1988, 5Almost 100 years ago the 5th was known as Spion Kop and Bernard Darwin said it ”gives us another cheerful drive from a most spectacular tee”. The iconic picture of Henry Cotton6The 6th hole offers a spectacular short hole named after Speaker Gully of the House of Commons. It is one of our signature holes, yet these days is a different hole than as origina7The 7th hole is the first par 5 you encounter on the course, and presents a left-right dogleg featuring the unusual challenge of playing across Sweethaws Lane, a Public Highway.It requires a demanding drive to the right hand side of the fairway to allow for the inevitable bounce left on the sloping fairway. Then follows a blind second shot, whether you ar8The 8th hole represents part of the major changes from the 1957 alteration to the course layout,with the most significant element being that the green is now approached from a completely different angle than originally designed.9The 9th hole is played to a fairway sloping gently from left to right,the second shot being played uphill on a left hand dog leg to a sloping green rising from front to back.10The 10th hole is the second of three par fives at Crowborough Beacon and offers a genuine birdie opportunity.11The 11th hole was altered in 1957, playing from a new tee tothe existing green and changing from a longer, straighter, uphill par 4 to a sharp left-hand dog-leg around some 60 year-old pine trees.12The 12th hole is unique at Crowborough as almost the only entirely flat holefrom tee to green, with the exception of a severe area of deep cross rough at about 260 yards from the back tee. This depression, filled with deep heather and gorse, presents a prO13The 13th is a short, flat par three played to a green surrounded by 3 bunkers –1 on the left and 2 on the right. The bank on the left edge of the green will kick the ball away towards the heather and trees. Sweethaws Lane is a public highway on the right sepa14The 14th hole is the last of our three par fives and offers a magnificent view of the South Downs every step of the way.Driving out of a tight avenue of trees over a grass, gorse and heather rough you should be able to find the generous, slightly undulating 'links-style', fairway. The prevailing sou15The 15th hole is played from slightly elevated tees, driving directly across SweethawsLane to a left to right sloping fairway, which was once upon a time made up almost entirely of closely mown heather. Now it’s disappeared it has been replaced by the finest of he16In 1926, Darwin wrote;- “The 16th brings an opportunity to the long bold driver who can hold his ball well up to the left. It also brings terror to him who tops for there is a gu17The 17th hole is an uphill Par 3 to a banked, flat, but firm green. Considered by some as a simple hole, it does enjoy simply the best viewpoint on the golf course, second only to 18Bernard Darwin wrote in 1926: “Finally, the home hole, a really difficult finishing hole with its carry over heather from the tee, and its narrow opening between bunkers, through
