What the club says: In 2009, Golf Monthly put Holtye in their U.K. top twelve 9 hole courses. Recently, in a survey, professionals rated it "a little gem". Set in the rolling Sussex Weald, the Club's nine hole course offers very different front and back nines from alternative tees. Facilities include a huge practice range, pitching and bunker area with greens, a putting green, pro shop and a comfortable clubhouse with sky television and a full catering.

First time round here. Lovely little 9 hole course. Particularly intersting in the middle part. Some of the differing tees don't change the holes too much but others do. Greens a little furry and therefore slowish but otherwise rolled well. Course in good condition elsewhere. Great value at £25 twilight and well worth playing. Can't speak to the clubhouse as closed by time we finished. Would play again.

Great location
First outing out since I bagged the Vilamoura trophy and I enjoyed it. Very hot and quite hilly in places, the course was in good condition though. I got a great birdie on the 4th ' The Hammerwood' and wont forget that. The course was founded in 1893 and is still going strong.Reviewer Rating

Small and Criss-Crossy But Pretty
Good fun and scenic in the way it is cut into the trees. The long grass can be tricky, but the Par 3s are nice and friendly. Fairways in good nick and greens generally good (with a couple of GUR patches). Very lightly used from what we could see on the tees.Reviewer Rating

It has some magic; is a really nice walk, hitting up and down hill through avenues of trees. Really nice silver birches at the top of six. Great bluebells in spring by the side of the 1st. Tricky course, that is not just about power.Reviewer Rating

Tricky little challenge
Having been a member here previously, i know this course well, but it always throws in a challenge or two it starts easy enough but after the second provides some interesting and thought provoking holes, especially the signature 4th/13th par 3, which will test even the best golfer.(Round played: Nov 2017 - Score: 80 Handicap: 13.5)

Gem of a course , fantastic value
Fantastic course,greens quick and true ,lovely layout with some cracking holes , 4 / 13 one of the best par 3s we have played , tough driving holes on 3 and 7 which certainly test your aim , not as easy as the scorecard gives the impression of . Really helpful staff in the pro shop and a fantastic little club house , where we all had a nice meal afterwards , there was a really nice atmosphere in the club house also with plenty of members in there , I see that it is only £395 for first year of membership which seems a very good deal .Reviewer Rating

Lovely little quirky 9 hole in lovely countryside. Felt as if we were at Sunningdale on a few holes. Ground seems to be solid in Spring weather. Well worth playing if local. Very long 3rd hole though where you need to hit the ball long, almost at the road/ netting needed!

This course is a 9 hole course next door to Sweetwoods. They are so different though. Holtye is similar to Reigate Heath in many ways, also 9 holes and an abundance of heather. There are some easy holes, but the difficult holes require accurate long drives and precise shots to greens. The greens were incredibly slow, the slowest by quite a margin I have played on all year. Played here on a Sat for a really good discount complete with buggy. Shame we abandoned the game as the weather was so appalling.
