Seaford Golf Club is outside Brighton & Hove, about 30 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 downland course on free-draining chalk, designed and built by J H Taylor in 1907, with South Downs and sea views. The white tees play 6,546 yards at par 69. There's a 350-yard grass driving range with three covered bays, and a bunker rebuild programme is running to April 2027. Don't follow the signs for Seaford Head golf course; this is a different club.
Best for
- Wet-winter golf on free-draining chalk
- Fast greens and sea views
Skip if
- You want a cheap round (a winter weekday is £65)
- You want the municipal Seaford Head (it's a different course)

Pace of play
Experiences differ: "Pace of play superb" (January 2024) and a three-ball "round in 3.75 hrs" with "no waiting" (August 2023), while a four-ball in August 2023 was "persistently chased by two balls and singletons".
3 cited quotes, with sources
“Pace of play superb”
“we were a 4 ball, and were persistently chased by two balls and singletons, which interrupted the flow of our game.”
“Proper spacing of tee times meant we were round in 3.75 hrs as a 3 ball with no waiting or pressure from behind”
Wind and weather
Three reviewers (2023 to 2024) say the wind matters: "wide fairways, which you'll need if the wind is strong", "strike the ball really well when the wind gets up", and "tricky winds on the hills".
3 cited quotes, with sources
“Nice views, good greens and tricky winds on the hills. Watch out for the bees in the bunkers”
“You need to strike the ball really well when the wind gets up.”
“Lovely course wide fairways, which you'll need if the wind is strong, well laid out and easy to navigate around, some holes are deceptively long.”

Reviewers (2023 to 2025) rate the food well, with "nice food" and "excellent", though an August 2024 guest found a "five course dinner served in an hour" "very rushed", and an August 2023 guest called the clubhouse "elderly" with "some signs of wear and tear".
4 cited quotes, with sources
“Beautiful course and facilities. Would thoroughly recommend staying. The food was excellent and staff amazing.”

“I think it's fair to say the clubhouse is elderly and shows some signs of wear and tear, but for a short stay nothing to complain about.”
“Nice reception in pro shop and clubhouse, friendly staff and nice food.”
Walking and hills
Reports disagree: a 2025 reviewer says "You need decent fitness to walk this course as it is quite hilly", an August 2023 reviewer describes "gently rolling slopes", and a 2019 reviewer says "unusually for a downland course, this is easy walking golf".
3 cited quotes, with sources
