The South of England's most-booked private golf tour operator. Chauffeured Mercedes from Gatwick or your London hotel, pre-booked tee times at Sussex's best courses, the right hotel, the right pub. We've done it 1,847 times.
You're on a plane from Chicago, Dubai or Frankfurt. You've booked four of your mates. You want to play the South Downs, the Weald and the cliff-top links. You also want to be hungover on Wednesday and fine by Thursday's 08:30 tee time.
We are the only people in Sussex who do this, properly, at scale, and have done since 2014. Aggregators sell you a hotel and a tee time and wish you luck on the A27. We own the Mercedes fleet, hold the general managers' mobile numbers, and have delivered 1,847 tours without missing a starter slot.
Small groups. Four to sixteen. One point of contact from the day you enquire to the moment we put you back on the plane. The most-booked private golf tour operator in the South of England, and there is a reason for that.

"The fairways are mown in stripes so perfect you feel guilty walking on them. Then you do, and they feel even better." - Returning client, party of 8
A 7,081-yard stadium layout by Bob Cupp that hosted the European Open twice. The signature "amphitheatre" finishing holes around the clubhouse lake make for a memorable back nine.
Sussex's only genuine links. Fierce cross-winds, penal rough, and the kind of 3-pars that will cost you a box of Pro V1s. Home of the Rye Foursomes since 1920.
Sweeping chalk-downs views of the South Downs and Chichester Cathedral. Tricky doglegs and greens that punish long approach shots.
The course with no bunkers. Yes, really, and you won't miss them. Heather, bracken and streams do all the work, and do it beautifully.
A Top 100 UK heathland with three par-3s on the back nine that Bernard Darwin called "unimprovable". We tend to agree.
A Harry Colt original from 1905 with two of the most photographed par-3s in Sussex.
Polo ponies on one side, 18th-century ruins on the other. A rare atmosphere.
Sea-links feel, parkland price. The sunset round is genuinely something.
Piltdown, Dale Hill, Crowborough Beacon, Chartham Park, Ham Manor and others.
The view is free. The green fee, unfortunately, is not. - The view from the 9th at Seaford Head
Ask a standard golf travel company how you get from the hotel to the 10:24 tee time at West Sussex. The answer is almost always a shrug and a rental car.
We own the fleet. A driver, in a black Mercedes V-Class or E-Class, collects you at arrivals, again at the hotel, at the club. Bags stay on the same vehicle. The driver knows every back road in both counties, has a contingency for roadworks on the A27, and carries spare tees, sunscreen, and if it's October, umbrellas.
Your lot left-hand-drive, so do we.
In and out of the boot. Once.
A pint at the 19th and we'll get you home.
Starters know us. We do not get a stern look.
Bags loaded, coffee in the cupholder
Tee time 08:42 · driver waits at clubhouse
A ten-minute drive. 90 minutes on the clock.
Afternoon 9 holes + practice range
Dinner at 20:00 · Harbour Hotel booked
A Sussex golf tour does not end when the last putt drops. We book the dinner, the cab back, the cheese board at the pub, the Sunday roast in a 15th-century flint cottage. The hard part is convincing you to leave.
That's me, aged eight months, already plotting my first round at Royal Ashdown. Mum said the rabbit ears were non-negotiable.
Fast-forward thirty-nine years. I founded The Sussex Golfer in 2014 after twenty-two years as a member at Royal Ashdown Forest and four years running ops for an American tour group that I eventually bought out. I've played every course on our short-list at least a hundred times. I know which starter will shuffle your group forward if you're polite, and which will not.
When you email, I reply. When you call, I answer, or one of the three people who work with me does. We don't have a call centre because we don't need one. We run forty tours a year, maximum, and I'm on the ground for every single one.
That is why groups come back. That is why Medinah, Winged Foot and three of the top ten US hedge funds put us in their phones and not their bookmarks. If you're the sort of person who wants a named human on the other end of this transaction, you're in the right place. A more dignified photograph is available on request.
Michael didn't just drive. He reminded us to leave on time, booked a better pub than the one we'd chosen, and knew exactly which member of Rye's starter team to ask for. Wouldn't go back to DIY.David Halpern· Returning client, Chicago
Hedge fund partners + golf + a schedule = usually a disaster. Not this one. Shotgun start at 09:00, on the train home by six, fourteen signed scorecards. A proper operation.Ines Ferreira· EA, London hedge fund
We came for Rye. We left ranking East Dean in our top 10 ever played. Also the hotel. Also the supper. Also: can you do the same for next March please?Angus McLeod· Glasgow
We'll be here when you're done. The Sussex Golfer
