About Us

The club was formed in 1893 and in 1908 James Braid (Open Champion five times between 1901 and 1910 and the most sought after golf architect in his day) redesigned the course to basically what you see today. East Brighton Offers you a course that rarely closes during the winter, or resorts to temporary greens or tees, due to being built upon chalk subsoil.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and sociable club, with an ambience to compliment the golf. Although blessed with over 100 years of tradition, with past presidents including dignitaries such as the Marquis of Abergavenny, Earl of Chichester, Field Marshall Earl Haig and the Duke of Norfolk, we have moved readily into the modern era of providing golf for everyone


A Golf Academy has been established for a while now and is proud to be introducing new golfers to the game and ladies have equal rights on the course.  Whilst we believe in maintaining the best traditions of golf, we also provide a friendly and relaxed atmosphere to members and guests. In the interest of both, the club allows smart casual dress in most parts of the clubhouse.
