Isn't it ?
Its not a tough course, the course layout isn't very clear and its quite a long walk as it is up and down the hill. Greens are in good condition for a council course.

ok son here goes
1st par 3 aim well left off the tee ........not too left though
2nd par 4 avoid rough and bunkers 150 yeards down the fairway on the left look out for hidden greenside bunkers
3rd up hill par 5 enough said
4th par 4 look out for the tree 60 yards from the tee in the middle of the fairway
miss a few
7th downhill par 5 easiest chance for a birdie again nasty greenside bunkers
9th short par 4 small green croweded by trees
10th par 3 raised sloopey green
12th downhill par 4 reachable in two one for some!!! awful greenside bunkers
13th difficult par 5 against the camber
14th avoid the out of bounds on ditchling road on the right
16th again a good drive will get you close but those bunker near the green will find you out
17th uphill short par 4 although longer than it looks
18th a good drive will be needed this is a tough very uphill par 4
remember you are out of bounds on the fort.

Used to be a colony of parakeets in the woods up there. No idea why.

When did you last go? I think all your holes numbers are out!!
I think what used to be the 1st, is no the 4th. You start in the old 16th hole now I believe.

Really I live about 10 yards from the course and I Always thought the par 3 was the first but from here it appears not!!!

have they changed it again? I was a junior when they built the 'new' clubhouse and started using the par 3, 3rd as the first. That means they now finish on the old 15th green (old old 17th) which is not in view of the clubhouse!!

It has been changed again and you do finish on the old 15th. At least you don't have to finish on the old 18th anymore, absolute killer off the whites tees.

You are correct. They changed the hole numbers a couple of months. So what HB and B has described as the 1st is actually the 4th and 16,17 and 18 are actually 1,2 and 3.
Not too hard a course, but in relatively good nick

I agree. On at least three holes you are aiming at marker poles with no idea where you are going after. And if they have changed the order in which you
play again, perhaps they have put a map on the scorecard which would help.
I like Hollingbury, although I've lost count of the number of burnt out cars left up there, presumably by the "colony of parakeets" (aka pikeys).
Lovely view from the very top of the hill though.
Its one of the physically toughest courses I've ever played. There are some VERY long hills to trudge up.
As for 'best muni', it is pretty decent. Southampton muni is much better though.

Harder than Seaford, the one up on the cliffs ? That was tough - I thought I was going to pass out !

It's OK. At this time of year they do try to keep it in good condition but you often get little pikey children tearing up the greens, etc.
