Main Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Main Course and avoid the typical English weather?

We recommend aiming for late spring-early summer (May-July) or early autumn (September-October) for your visit. You'll generally find drier conditions and less wind, which makes those exposed links holes much more enjoyable without battling a gale.

Is Main Course a true links challenge, or is it more forgiving for a casual round?

Main Course absolutely leans into the traditional links challenge, so expect a proper test, especially if the wind picks up. While the fairways are often generous, the deep pot bunkers and tricky run-offs around the greens demand precise approach shots and a sharp short game.

What's the one hole at Main Course I absolutely can't miss, and what makes it special?

You'll definitely remember the par-3 7th, affectionately known as 'The Lighthouse.' It plays directly towards the iconic coastal landmark, often into a stiff breeze, and requires a perfectly struck iron over a gully to a small, elevated green. It's a real beauty and a proper nerve-tester.

How does the green fee at Main Course compare to other top English courses, and is it worth it?

While Main Course isn't the cheapest round in England, we absolutely believe it offers excellent value for the experience. You're paying for a meticulously maintained, historic links course with stunning coastal views and a truly memorable layout that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with more famous names.

What's the best way to get to Main Course, and are there any good places to stay nearby?

Main Course is a bit off the beaten path, but that's part of its charm; a rental car is definitely recommended for flexibility. We suggest staying in the charming coastal town of Seabridge just a short drive away, where you'll find cozy B&Bs and excellent local pubs for post-round celebrations.
