CLUB HISTORY
Crowborough Beacon Golf Club celebrated its centenary in 1995. Some documentary evidence exists from the early days regarding the result of the efforts of a small group who called a meeting to establish what interest, if any, there might be in forming a golf club in Crowborough. As is often the case, Minutes of these early meetings are sparse and a hundred years is clearly a long time! Some documents have vanished forever; yet enough remains to provide us with a picture both of the times and the shrewd negotiations which enabled the Club to become established.
And so it was that, originally on only a 25 year lease from Lord Cantelupe (at 5 shillings a year!), a golf course began construction on the Manor of Alchornes. Golf over the heathland began on 6 October 1895 when Lady Cantelupe struck the first ball on the new, if rather primitive, nine hole course.
One of the conditions made by the De La Warr family when granting the original lease over the Manor of Alchornes was that the Club should provide a means by which the working men of the town could play the links. And so the artisan section was established in 1896 and called the De La Warr Working Men’s Golf Club. Initially members were mainly caddies and foresters with a sprinkling of local tradesmen.
The Golf Club purchased the Manorial Rights of the Manor of Alchornes in 1905 and so, at that time, secured the future of the club and course allowing work to proceed with much more confidence.
The now 18 hole course and rebuilt clubhouse stands some 800 feet above sea level on undulating heathland with plenty of trees and, with views on certain clear days of the Downs, Eastbourne and the sea. It must arguably have one of the finest panoramas around.
and Golf ……
Crowborough Beacon will test your accuracy rather than your length off the tee, the fairways are narrow and there are plenty of hazards just off line. Stay on the fairway to keep out of trouble! The Par 4 second hole is a good test of anyone’s game
