Lindfield Golf Club
A cheap parkland 18 about 32 minutes away, £30 weekday and £35 weekend, with a 24-bay covered range. Golfers say it's good value but the tees and greens can be rough.

Lindfield Golf Club is outside Brighton & Hove, about 32 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
An 18-hole, par 70 parkland course beside the River Ouse with water on four holes, designed by Patrick Tallack and opened in 1990. The white tees play 5,957 yards. There's a 24-bay covered driving range (mats only), a chipping and pitching area and a large practice putting green. It is the home of the Golf College for young golfers, and you can play just nine holes.
Best for
- A low-cost round (only Hollingbury midweek is cheaper)
- A covered range on mats
Skip if
- You want top-condition tees in dry spells (2026 reviewers complain)
