Piltdown Golf Club is in East Sussex, two miles from Uckfield and eight miles from both Lewes and Haywards Heath. (Click here for a map and directions.)

The club was founded in 1904.  The course was designed initially by Jack Rowe, the professional at nearby Royal Ashdown, with later contributions from the great JH Taylor, member of the famous “triumvirate” and multiple winner of The Open. Between them they created something special, a course unlikely ever to host a major tournament, but one which is, to quote a report from European Golf Design, “comfortable, familiar and really rather good.”

It was built on Piltdown Common, and part of it borders the beautiful lake known as Piltdown Pond.  There are no sand bunkers, but most of us reckon the heather, gorse, trees and bracken provide challenge enough.  The course is reviewed on the Fine Golf Website: click here to read the feature - Fine Golf Website. 

Visitors are always welcome at Piltdown - the atmosphere is friendly and hospitable. The clubhouse is a unique blend of homely informality, efficient service and high-class catering. One frequent visitor, a member of The Seniors who had played golf all over the world, remarked “I don’t know what it is about Piltdown but however often you play here you always want to come back.”
