It's a fair test of your game, demanding accuracy rather than brute force, and offers a refreshing challenge without being overly punishing.

When is the best time of year to play West Hove, and what should I expect regarding conditions?

We highly recommend playing West Hove from late spring through early autumn, typically May to September, for the most enjoyable conditions. The downland turf drains exceptionally well, making it playable year-round, but those warmer months offer less wind and firmer fairways for a truly pleasant round.

Are there any particularly memorable or challenging holes at West Hove?

You'll definitely remember the 10th hole, a downhill par-3 that demands a precise iron shot to a well-guarded green-it's a real test of nerve. The stretch from the 14th onwards also offers some fantastic risk-reward opportunities, making for an exciting finish to your round.
