Designed and constructed in 1887, Seaford Head Golf Club is one of the most spectacular golf courses in the country and is steeped in recent and ancient history.

History www.seafordheadgolfcourse.co.uk
6
Golf in the seaside city of Brighton dates back as far as 1826, when reports of golf being played at Brighton were the first mention of the sport in Sussex. Seaford Head Golf Club, however, was not founded until the summer of 1887, following its inaugural meeting between a small number of local residents on 6th August. There was obviously much work to do; land to be obtained and members to be recruited and all this was done prior to the first general meeting which was held just a few weeks later on 8th September, 1887. Seaford was one of the first towns in England to
establish a golf club and one of the first two in Sussex, along with Eastbourne. The first course was made up of 150 acres of land, adjacent to Seaford Head, which were leased from Mr Launcelot Harison of Sutton Place, Seaford (now Newlands School); the rent was £70 per year. A golf course of twelve holes was established, however, the land was still grazed by sheep due to Ruben Russell’s shepherd’s cottage occupying the centre of the course. The twelve holes were laid out by a Mr Thompson of Felixstowe. Coincidentally like Seaford Head, the Felixstowe golf course also overlooks a Martello Tower. The course was one and a quarter miles in distance
It was extended to an 18-hole course in 1889 and in May 1928 the course and clubhouse were taken over by Seaford Urban District Council. In 1940 the course was requisitioned by the military for the duration of the war and ploughed up for food production, some of this being evident today on the 4th, 15th and 18th holes. It was reconstructed in 1946 and is now the responsibility of Seaford Town Council, who manage the course from their offices in Seaford.

and if eighteen holes were required the first five holes were replayed with an extra hole adjacent to the Shepherd’s Cottage.

The course’s toughest hole, however, is the 366-yard, par four 11th. After teeing off you are faced with an uphill shot to a blind, left to right sloping green.
The Seven Sisters can be seen from our 13th, 14th and 15th holes and the famous 18th hole has an extended vista over Seaford bay and beyond to Brighton.
A number of undulating greens and fairways make the course a true challenge, however, with strong winds and severe slopes on certain holes, your imagination is key to a good round here.
The 18th is also the course’s signature hole and one you will never tire of teeing off from; some 300 feet above sea level, watch your drive soar down 150 feet to the fairway below before approaching the green that sits next to our new clubhouse.
We think you’ll agree with us that this has to be one of the best-kept secrets in East Sussex, and one thing is for sure - we know you will be back.

course tour
If you have never played at Seaford Head Golf Club before you are in for a treat. Make the most of your trip by learning about some of the pitfalls that lie in wait and how to avoid them as you follow our hole-by-hole tour.
Hole 3: White 279 Yellow 270 Red 255
A strong first hole starts with a challenging tee shot up over a ridge. Longer drives need to be aimed to the right hand side of the left sloping. The approach to the elevated green is guarded short left by a big bomb crater and to the right by a greenside bunker. The green slopes quite steeply from right to left and your approach should allow for that. A four is a great score here any time.
Another risk and reward from this tee shot. The fairway slopes from left to right and stray shots to the right will find the gorse if long enough. The approach to the green is narrow and very elevated and although only being played with a very short iron, it’s important to get the ball up onto the putting surface.
Hole 2: White 316 Yellow 310 Red 254
The first of our four par three’s generally plays into the prevailing wind. Club selection is key here. Short and you’ll run back down the approach. Long and you’ll flirt with the ‘out of bounds’ and ‘the pill box’. Once you are on the green, the views are spectacular over Seaford Bay.
This short downhill par four is drivable for the bigger hitters. The target is small and there is danger in the form of a dew pond just short and right of the green. The undulating green makes this approach tricky and anything long is in the gorse. A certain risk or reward hole that you make your choice on the tee.
Hole 4: White 176 Yellow 167 Red 153
www.seafordheadgolfcourse.co.uk
Hole 1: White 400 Yellow 386 Red 366

course tour www.seafordheadgolfcourse.co.uk
12
Hole 5: White 488 Yellow 479 Red 440
Hole 7: White 339 Yellow 339 Red 308
A tee shot over gorse awaits players on this downhill par five. Not long in length but fraught with danger from the tee and to the right as you approach the green. Play safety for a steady par or attack the green in two for stronger players.
This uphill par four offers a generous fairway, sheltered from the prevailing wind. The approach is a different story, as you play up to the elevated green into the breeze at the top of the hill. This long narrow green falls from left to right with tricky undulations awaiting any missed shot to this green.
Hole 6: White 394 Yellow 379 Red 370 “The Well” runs parallel to Chyngton Road to the left, trees and the well to the right. This makes for an intimidating tee shot. This flat hole moves slightly from right to left in a dogleg. Ridges made in World War II are still visible in the undulations of the fairway. The flat green is guarded either side with bunkers. As the stroke index 2 hole, walking off with a par is a great score.
Hole 8: White 343 Yellow 330 Red 274 ‘The Steps’ is named after the approach to the green that tiers up to the putting surface. The downhill tee shot to a wide fairway sets up a short but tricky second to the aforementioned green. Big hitters can take on the green with more reward than risk. One to open the shoulders and give it a good swing.
Hole 11: White 366 Yellow 356 Red 303
One of the toughest tee shots, especially off the back tees into the wind. If the small tight fairway is found, the steep uphill second needs to be struck well to get up onto the lofty green. The putting surface runs from back to front. Be careful with the approach putts down the hill, you could end up down back down the fairway.
Stroke index 1 and rightly so. Plays longer than its yardage as it meanders uphill and doglegs to the right as it goes. The drive to a wide, left to right fairway is guarded on the right by a solitary bunker. As you turn to play your approach, you are faced with a sharp uphill shot to a blind green. The marker post shows you the way but it’s better to wander up and inspect the square green awaiting your approach, which slopes left to right quite steeply.
Hole 10: White 143 Yellow 127 Red 103 Our second short hole is a favourite for ‘nearest the pin’ competitions. The raised tee offers full view of the awaiting green. A sharp slope runs down the right side of the green throwing any ball left as it hits the dance floor. Although short, a three is a good score here any day.
Hole 12: White 110 Yellow 104 Red 101 The shortest par three now awaits. This plays straight uphill, a very sharp climb to a square green cut into the slope. Take enough club as anything short could end up back at your feet. On the green you are again wowed with the panoramic views over the downs, town and coast. Once on the relatively flat green, it makes for a straightforward par.

course tour After you climb to the top, the 13th is aptly called ‘the recovery’. This straight par five has a wide driving area and the longer hitters will try and get close in two. A fairway bunker awaits on the left hand side for them. Keep your ball fairly straight on this hole and you’ll not find too much trouble.
Hole 14: White 359 Yellow 345 Red 299 ‘The Seven Sisters’ sums up the view that jumps out at you all the way down the left hand side of this hole. This slightly downhill hole is best played with a tee shot to the left of the fairway to open up the green. Anything to the right, the green is guarded by a large greenside bunker making hitting the green very tricky. Sloping from right to left, the green rarely gives you a straight putt.
This part of the course is about the views and they never let you down whatever the weather.
Hole 15: White 397 Yellow 380 Red 355 A brute of a hole that plays into the wind most of the time. A welcoming fairway meets your drive as you leave the Seven Sisters behind you. That’s the easy part, the second and sometimes third needs to be threaded through ‘the gap’ some 100 yards short of the green. This tier can catch some long drives on a calm day but mainly threatens long shots in to the green. The long valley green can leave you with a long putt while being buffered by the breeze.

course tour Hole 18: White 489 Yellow 482 Red 440
This tiered green is guarded both sides and short by bunkers. Playing mostly downwind does not make this approach any easier. Select your club carefully here to walk away with a par. This is the highest point on the course and you can see all the views from here.
The famous 18th hole. Views over Seaford Bay extend towards Newhaven and Brighton and during really clear days, the Isle of Wight. Some 300 feet above sea level, your tee shot hang time is impressive who ever you are. Two fairway bunkers tempt your second shot down towards the green. The green sits next to the new clubhouse guarded by a bunker and, after finishing on the large green, you can reminisce over your round with a beverage in the 19th.
Hole 17: White 289 Yellow 282 Red 261 If the wind is not blowing, try and get as close to the green as possible. Trouble awaits you to the right though and a bunker to the left. Appropriately named ‘the cliff edge’ as the green gets precariously close the cliff. A left to right green makes even the shortest putt difficult in the breeze.

Chris Kelly - PGA Head Professional
The pro team
Chris took up the game at the age of 14, learning from one of the great regional professionals, Keith McDonald. As an amateur he represented England at the World Golfers Championships in Turkey in 2005, finishing seventh out of 30 represented worldwide countries.
Chris says: “Coaching all levels of golfers to improve their game gives me great satisfaction. Specialising in beginners, club golfers, juniors and ladies. I also have plenty of extra ideas up my sleeve to give you that extra advantage!”
While he has enjoyed some good results from playing in regional and national tournaments, in his passion of coaching, Chris has studied numerous techniques from the world’s leading coaches, applying parts of them into his own philosophy of treating every golfer as an individual and using techniques that best suit their own swing to aid improvement. He coaches all levels of golfers from juniors to elite club level golfers.
Qualifications - Class AA PGA Professional - UKCC Level 2 Coaching Award - Tri-Golf Activator (Junior Golf) - CRB Checked - Introduction to the fundamentals of movement - Safeguarding & Protecting Children Certificate

tuition
Whether you’re an accomplished player or simply looking to get into the game, the quickest and easiest way to play better golf and lower your scores is to book a lesson with one of our PGA professionals. Seaford Head is blessed with a strong and talented teaching team and with two qualified professionals there is always someone on hand to assist and advise.
The teaching team also offer on-course tuition, where technique and the tactical side to the game can be addressed at the same time. Learning the correct thought process can often be an eye-opening and
rewarding experience for the novice player and can lead to better scores. We understand golf is a ‘Game For Life’, so our lessons are tailor-made to suit the individual, aiming towards improving people’s performance and enjoyment of the game. This is achieved through precise swing analysis with our GC2 launch monitor, followed by clear instruction and easy-to-follow practice drills, which allows us to install solid foundations and good fundamentals, as well as combining the individual’s own natural flair and style. To book a lesson contact Fraser Morley and his team in the Pro Shop by calling 01323 890139.
www.seafordheadgolfcourse.co.uk
We have several styles of tuition to suit your need from a personal one-to-one lesson to a more relaxed short game group lesson with other players of a similar standard. Our coaching facilities include our putting green, practice nets and our chipping and putting area, along with our GC2 launch monitor, which measures your swing and ball flight through club and ball speed, distance, spin rate, launch angle and more.

custom fitting
There has been a growing realisation in recent times that golfing tuition ought to go hand-in-hand with equipment that allows each player to make the absolute utmost of whatever level of natural talent they possess.
The reality is that a golfer could have a perfectly acceptable technique but still be held back because their clubs are not entirely suitable to their swing. This is where custom fitting comes in, a relatively new phenomenon that allows a set of clubs to be built to marry with each golfer’s individual physique and swing characteristics. Custom fitting is something that we take seriously here at Seaford Head and we pride ourselves in what we do.
We offer a full and extensive range of products all available for custom fitting. This service costs less than you think and can bring about a dramatic improvement in ball striking. Even the top touring professionals struggle to maintain the same fundamentally sound swing characteristics every time, so it is a lot to ask for the average golfer to do likewise. Customising the clubs to position the golfer in the ideal position for their physical characteristics will train the golfer to address the ball with the correct posture and swing along the ideal swing plane, which all adds up to the correct impact position and better scores.

Clubs merely bought off the shelf will be of a standard specification but unfortunately golfers are not, coming in all shapes and sizes.

The most prominent is the Seaford Sports Festival Golf Tournament that takes place throughout July. Kicking off the action is the Seven Sisters Challenge Cup, an 18-hole men’s medal event, before the White Horse Challenge Cup the day after, an 18-hole men’s foursomes. It continues with a ladies 18-hole greensome stableford the following week, called the Lowles Cup, and this is followed by the Lillywhite Challenge Cup, an 18-hole men’s stableford the day after.
The tournament’s final week begins with the Seaford Challenge Cup, a ladies 18-hole stableford, and concludes with the Dick Fairley Challenge Cup, a mixed foursomes over 18 holes. Entry to any of these competitions includes a buffet lunch, while the winners will be presented with their cups after each event. The month of July also sees our juniors in action as the Junior Open, an 18-hole medal event, rounds out the competition season. Events may vary slightly from year to year, though you will find details of upcoming events on our website, www.seafordheadgolfcourse.co.uk
www.seafordheadgolfcourse.co.uk
One of the ways in which we can do this is by staging a number of club competitions throughout the year aimed at golfers from all walks of life and abilities.
