What the club says: Set within the magnificent wooded countryside of the High Weald of Sussex adjoining Tilgate Forest Park, this outstanding location offers unparalleled views. The park covers some 400 acres and was once part of the Tilgate Estate, which covered much of the surrounding area. Tilgate Forest is now classified as a country park and conservation area with golf being just one of the many activities on offer.

Still muddy in places

Certainly not as dry as other GC in the are, I am sure. Still plenty of work to be done in terms of drainage. However greens not too bad but 10th and 11th on temps

Tilgate Forest

Based on the outskirts of Crawley, I loved this fully mature, tree lined hidden gem. The greens were as good as any I've ever played, most holes were interesting, fair and challenging. We played on a beautiful sunny day . Bunkers are my only complaint- they were either mostly poor or g.u.r.

In far better shape than it's been for a few years. Some greens are still a touch bumpy but it's still a fun course to play. Some very tight fairways to contend with. Definitely a much less pleasant experience when it's wet!

Hadn't played here for some time. Course in good condition and not underwater despite the recent wet spell. Greens were very receptive but quite slow. Bunkers decent. Overall layout is interesting and fairly tight due to obvious tree lined fairways. They also like both a dogleg and a ditch across several fairways. Interesting place to play. For £18 at twilight, you can't go wrong.

I played Tilgate three times this week and it is in fantastic condition the greens are fast and true bunkers have sand in and are evenly filled.
Ollie and his staff have done an amazing job under tough rainy spells.
Shop staff and chefs always friendly and accommodating.
Five day member £65 absolute bargain.
Well done to all ?

Challenging

Tilgate is a tree lined course that does not forgive a wayward drive. The fact thats it been open in the very wet weather says a lot for the ground staff. The greens could be better but due to the weather its been difficult to cut them. Staff are all friendly and theres a driving range as well. No driving net though.

A very wet Tilgate

Afteer the previous days rain all the fairways were sodden and at least 2 greens were very spongy. No run on the back but not that many plugged shots either. Tees were ok and Greens obviously responsive. Shame I can't chip up to the hiole!!

Sunny day on a picturesque course

Some golfers view Tilgate as a difficult and narrow course. Whilst this is arguably true, a round under the sun walking through a lovely forest is a joy, and I love this course!

Much improved after alterations

A couple of smaller greens and looks like drainage issues addressed. Quite a few dog legs and blind at that. But course looked in good condition. Bunkers looked like they had sand in them and certain was sand in the new one on the 7th

Played here today for £18 on a weekend and it was great value. I haven't played here for two years but have to say the improvement was great, this was really clear to see especially on the greens. Hope they keep up the great work as I will be back.
