Short grass around the greens does more than penalise offline approaches.

It creates genuine variety in how you play short game shots. You'll find yourself reaching for 3 woods, 7 irons, and lob wedges rather than settling on the same club.

A testament to our well-designed green complexes.

This summer's drought has given the course a different aesthetic than usual, but it's allowed our course to play firm and fast, exactly how heathland golf should be.

The 12th proves our course can challenge without relying on bunkers or distance.

An island fairway surrounded by danger on all sides forces long hitters to leave the driver in the bag, making this par 4 play considerably longer than the scorecard indicates, and without any room for error.

For men, there is also the option of pushing the tee up and creating a brilliant risk and reward hole.

Well done Oscar! 👏 👏 👏

Tollit Takes U16 Honours at Sweetwoods

Oscar Tollit Piltdown Golf Club produced an excellent round to take top spot in the Sussex U16s Championship on 14th August at Sweetwoods Golf Club finishing at two over par on a very hot day.

With temperatures remaining high throughout the afternoon, conditions provided an additional challenge for the young players, but there was some excellent golf at the top of the leaderboard.

Tollit led the way at +2, finishing two shots ahead of Ezra Hartland Cooden Beach Golf Club on +4. Sophie Jones took third place at +6.

George McCallum, Lucas Butler, Benjamin Champness, Kade Fullarton and Amelia McGinty shared fourth place, all finishing at +7, while Lewis Day, Beau Lyons and Oliver Hart were a further shot back at +8.

With a later start to help manage the hot conditions, it was a long day for players and officials alike, with the final presentation eventually taking place in the dark!

A big thank you goes to Ray Smith for starting the players and to Cody Maynard-Grice, James and Karen Parks for their help throughout the day with administration, ball spotting and, particularly importantly in the heat, keeping the juniors supplied with cold drinks.

Our thanks also go to Sweetwoods Golf Club for hosting the event and looking after everyone throughout the day.

Congratulations to Oscar on taking the U16 honours, and well done to all of the juniors who competed in challenging conditions.

At the beginning of July, former Tour professional Warren Bennett took on Piltdown in a very interesting challenge, starting 4 down against the course and trying to fight his way back.

There’s some seriously good golf on show, some superb drone footage of the course, and excellent support from Trevor the dog on the bag.

So, who comes out on top: Warren or Piltdown?

Have a watch and find out!
