Ham Manor Golf Club
Angmering, West Sussex, BN16 4JE
The first hole at Ham Manor Golf Club is a good example of the terrain on the golf course and is a 402 yards par four. The front nine wends it way through the Ham Manor Estate and is bordered by some lovely properties.
The back nine is completely rural with pleasant and tranquil views over the surrounding farmland and downs.
The par of 70 is not easy to beat for although there are only two par fives they are both over 500 yards long and the short holes range from 143 to more than 200 yards. In addition there are several par fours in excess of 400 yards. Though not within sight or sound of the sea Channel breezes can make a significant contribution to the difficulties of this delightful course. The inward half features both the par fives, one is the closing hole, and together with two lengthy par fours and a 200-yard par three it often seems more difficult than the outward nine.
Although the setting and the entire nature of the course is parkland, there is something of a links quality about the turf, no doubt stemming from close contact with the sea that this stretch of country enjoyed for centuries. Fine-bladed and springy underfoot, the grass gives perfect fairway lies and produces absolutely true, even paced greens.
