Seaford Head Golf Course 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 pay-and-play, par 71 clifftop course run by Seaford Town Council, on the eastern edge of Seaford with views of the Seven Sisters, Beachy Head and Seaford Bay. It is open 364 days a year, 7 days a week, and often plays firmer and faster than inland courses. Golf shoes only, no jeans, and tops worn at all times.
Best for
- Pay and play with sea and cliff views
- Juniors (£10 midweek)
- Twilight rounds from £24
Skip if
- You want a big practice area (reviewers call it basic)
- You don't like hilly walks
