West Hove Golf Club

If you're staying near Henfield and fancy a round, West Hove Golf Club sits on proper Sussex downland with views that'll distract you from your scorecard. It's a private members' club, so you'll need to be a guest of a member or check what their visitor policy is these days - worth ringing ahead on that one.

The course itself winds through rolling terrain that feels a world away from the coast, though you're only a few miles from Brighton. Eighteen holes of classic English golfing, nothing flashy, just honest fairways and greens that demand respect. Walkers might find the setting pleasant enough for a stroll around the perimeter, though it's really a golfer's destination.

You're well positioned here for a caravan park break - Downsview Park, Eastern Sands, and The Barn are all within striking distance if you want to base yourself locally. Bit of a trek from the seaside parks, but if golf's on the agenda alongside your camping, it's convenient enough.

Allow a good four to five hours for a full round. Best to go mid-week if you can swing visitor access - weekends get busy with members. The Sussex Weald backdrop is genuinely pleasant, especially on a clear day when you can see right across the valley.
