In the charming setting of Rotherfield, Dewlands Manor Golf Course beckons golf enthusiasts and newcomers alike with its signature blend of challenge and comfort. The club, established in 1989, has a reputation for its congenial ambiance - a vital ingredient missing in many modern-day courses. Here, the focus is on creating a welcoming space, evidenced by the 15-minute intervals between tee times. These generous gaps not only eliminate the rushed feeling that plagues many a golfer but also ensure that your back nine flows as seamlessly as your front nine.
The course itself is no slouch when it comes to technical demands. Spanning 6,372 yards when playing 18 holes and with a par of 72, Dewlands Manor offers a parkland layout that satisfies golfers across the skill spectrum. Maintained meticulously, the greens are a masterful blend of fescue and velvet bent grasses. While it may be one of the best nine-hole courses in the country, the variety in layout and the precision needed for the trickier holes ensures that the course feels full-sized and never 'half-done.'
Beyond the course, Dewlands Manor keeps up its commitment to quality through its well-stocked Pro Shop and its in-house professional, Nick Godin. Whether it's guidance you seek or the latest equipment, you'll find it all here. Tuition services are available for those looking to sharpen their skills, and for golfers who prefer a motorized companion, buggy hires are also offered.
Let's not forget the clubhouse that completes the Dewlands Manor experience. A bar and restaurant are on the premises, ensuring that the camaraderie continues off the course as well. Whether it's post-game celebrations or tactical discussions over a meal, the clubhouse becomes a central hub for social interactions.
In sum, Dewlands Manor Golf Course is an idyllic setting for both the game and the community it fosters. It's not merely a golf course; it's a sanctuary where the sport is celebrated in its truest sense. When you're here, you're not just playing; you're part of a larger tradition that respects the beauty, challenge, and social elements of golf.
