Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Selsey Golf Club, especially with the coastal winds?

Selsey is a proper test, especially when the wind whips in off the Solent. You'll need to master low stingers and creative shot-making; don't expect an easy round, but it's incredibly rewarding when you conquer it. We found it a fantastic challenge that truly hones your links-style game.

What kind of course is Selsey Golf Club, and what are its standout features?

Selsey is a charming, traditional links-style course, though not a true links in the purest sense, with a distinct seaside feel. You'll love the tight fairways and the clever use of natural undulations, especially around the greens. The views out towards the sea on holes like the 7th and 8th are simply stunning and a real highlight.

When is the best time of year to play Selsey Golf Club for optimal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting Selsey in late spring or early autumn. The course is typically firmer and faster then, offering true links golf, and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds. While playable year-round, the winter can get very wet and windy, making it a much tougher slog.

Is Selsey Golf Club good value for money, and what's the overall experience like?

Absolutely, Selsey offers excellent value for a genuine seaside golf experience. Green fees are very reasonable for the quality of the challenge and the unique coastal atmosphere you get. It's a friendly, unpretentious club where you feel genuinely welcome, making for a relaxed and enjoyable day out.

What practical advice do you have for someone playing Selsey Golf Club for the first time?

Pack layers, even on a sunny day, as the wind can change quickly. We also strongly advise bringing a few extra balls; those coastal breezes and the occasional thick rough can be unforgiving. Don't forget to grab a post-round pint in their welcoming clubhouse - it's a great way to reflect on your round.
