The Burgess Hill Golf Centre is outside Brighton & Hove, about 25 minutes' drive from central Brighton (our estimate, not a routed journey). We list it because golfers here drive, and a page that pretends otherwise is no use to you. See all nearby options.
What it's like
A 28-bay range with covered and outdoor bays, floodlit, with no booking needed. The same site has a nine-hole par 3 short course that is pay and play, a golf shop, a putting green and four PGA coaches giving lessons seven days a week. The range has automatic pop-up tees but no ball tracking. A FlightScope radar sits in the fitting bay only.
Best for
- Evening range sessions (floodlit, last bucket 9:30pm Monday to Thursday)
- Beginners and short-game practice on a nine-hole par 3 course
Skip if
- You want ball-tracking tech on the range (it has none)
- You want the cheapest bucket (West Hove is £12 for 100 balls)
