Effingham Park

Effingham Park sits in the heart of the Copthorne area of West Sussex — a corner of the county where the High Weald's dense woodland and undulating sandstone terrain shape everything around it. The course occupies grounds that feel distinctly English in their character: mature trees lining the fairways, heathland-influenced turf, and the kind of quiet, unhurried atmosphere that defines so much of the golf this part of the country does well.

West Sussex and the broader Surrey/Sussex borders region punch well above their weight in golf terms. Within a short drive you find genuine historic layouts that have shaped how the game developed in southern England, and courses in this belt tend to reward straight driving and precise approaches over brute length — the land simply doesn't call for a power game.

Effingham Park operates as a resort and hotel course, which means visiting golfers are genuinely welcome rather than an afterthought. That accessibility, combined with wooded surroundings that make for an attractive round in any season, gives it a reliable appeal for leisure visitors and county golfers alike.
