Sunday, 11 June 2023 06:00

Eastbourne Downs Golf Course is holding a Family & Friends Fun Afternoon later this month for anyone who wants to give the sport a shot.

The event is taking place at the course on East Dean Road on Saturday, June 24 between 1pm and 3.30pm.

There will be free access to the course with equipment available to borrow for all the family to get out and try a couple of shots.

Visitors will be able to try their hand at putting, chipping and even Tri Golf - a fun official alternative version of golf.

Designed specifically for primary school children, Tri Golf is played with light plastic clubs and rubber balls with shots aimed at bright colourful targets that can be attached to the floor or wall.

Eastbourne Downs Golf Course members will be on hand to accompany first time players around the course, or for those who are already experienced members of another golf club, they may try out the course unaccompanied.

Councillor Margaret Bannister, Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Member for Tourism, Leisure, Accessibility & Community Safety said:

“This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who has always wanted to give golf a go to do just that at the Downs Golf Course.

“There will be members on hand to give a helping hand and with the course offering such stunning views, it’s sure to be a great experience.”

Eastbourne Downs Golf Course, a friendly course ensuring affordable golf for all, has an 18-hole golf course with a clubhouse and garden which are both open to the general public.

Gift vouchers are also available at VisitEastbourne.com/giftvouchers for afternoon cream teas, green fees and club memberships for the keen golfer in your life.
