Founded in 1910, the Club was situated on the boundary between Hove and Portslade. However, in 1991, the building of the 'Brighton by-pass’ meant the Club had to relocate and it is now in the midst of  the South Downs, in an area of outstanding natural beauty which may soon be designated a National Park.

The 18-hole golf course is laid out over rolling chalk downland and is a challenging par 70. Being in one of the warmest and driest parts of the country, coupled with the chalk terrain, the course is always playable.

The superb modern clubhouse caters for receptions, private functions and business seminars. The first class restaurant and bar both have panoramic views over the course.

The Club has its own 18-bay driving range which is open to the public and tuition from PGA Qualified staff is available for individuals or groups every day.

In 2006 West Hove was proud to be the first Club in Sussex, and only the second in the country, to be awarded the prestigious GolfMark Award. This is a national scheme that identifies and recognises junior and beginner friendly golf facilities.
