Overview
West Sussex, known as Pulborough, sits on a vein of white sand and heather amid a quiet countryside of heavy soil agricultural crops. The contrast makes playing here feel timeless, as does the unconcerned par of 68 and a bucolic design by Campbell and Hutchison that’s punctuated with extraordinary cross-bunkering demanding strategic dissection. Initially known for its vast open layout, the course began planting pine and birch trees in the 1930s, giving it a distinctly woodland character, complemented by an abundance of heather flower. The five par 3s steal the show, each completely individual ranging from 145 to 226 yards, including the long sixth that often demands a lay-up approach.
