Founded in 1910, West Hove Golf Club was originally located on the boundary between Hove and Portslade. However, in 1991, the construction of the Brighton by-pass means the club has relocated off the A27 in the midst of the South Downs, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The new 18-hole golf course is laid out over rolling chalk downland. Located in the one of the warmest, driest parts of the country, coupled with the chalk foundations, the course is usually in good condition. A new modern clubhouse accompanies the course with a bar and restaurant with panoramic views of the course. There's also an driving range on site which is open to the public with sessions available from PGA qualified staff.
