Additional Details
Designed in 1914 by legendary golf architect, designer of Gleneagles and Carnoustie and five times winner of the Open Championship, James Braid, the downland course consists of fast-running fairways, undulating greens and dramatic changes of elevation in the downland valleys and hills which are both a treat and a challenge to true golf fans.
Find out more about The Downs course here.
This experience can take place throughout the year, subject to tee time availability. To confirm the date of your experience, please call the golf team on 01243 755133.
This experience is for a minimum of two people and a maximum of four people per tee time.
You will be required to have a valid handicap to play The Downs course. We kindly ask that you provide your CDH number for all players at the time of booking.
Your round of golf should take you no longer than four hours and 15 minutes.
We're a very accessible, relaxed and informal club. There is no strict dress code for either course.
The experience may be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (e.g snow, ice, heavy rain or high winds). Please call 01243 755133 if you're in any doubt.
Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Ultra friendly and knowledgeable staff can't do enough to look after you at this rather swanky establishment in the setting of rolling downlands. Course in great condition, with plenty of challenges.
