Pace of play is very important to us here at Chichester Golf Club, we ask all members to be aware of their timings, keep up with the game in front and let faster groups through. We recommend the following timings for a four ball on each course:

Cathedral Course
Front nine                           No more than 2 hours 20 minutes

Back nine                             No more than 2 hours

Tower Course
Holes 1-11                           No more than 2 hours 15 minutes

Holes 12-18                        No more than 1 hour   45 minutes

Beginners – Blue Tees
The Blue tees on the course can be used by any golfers that wish to do so as an alternative to the yellow or red tees.

They are ideal for beginner or junior golfers as they reduce the length of the hole or by taking out some of the hazards.

We have an extensive competitions calendar throughout the year. You can access all upcoming member competitions and sign up via www.howdidido.co.uk. There is also a members touch screen hub located in the Clubhouse.

To play in competitions, members must have an active handicap. This can be obtained by playing with a current member with a handicap or by playing in the roll ups as detailed below.

Please email george@chichestergolf.com and ask to be added to the roll up for the first time.

NEW Junior Beginner Programme
We are delighted to introduce Operation 36, an exciting new junior beginner golf programme in 2026.

This 6-week programme is the perfect introduction to golf for young newcomers, as well as juniors currently working within Levels 1 & 2 (25 & 50 yards) of the Operation 36 pathway. The focus is on learning, confidence, and enjoyment – all while playing real golf from the very start.

The cost to join this programme is £60 exclusively for Junior Members or £80 for non-members.

We can also help you achieve a Junior members handicap, as you don’t have to be able to get a specific score to gain a handicap as we operate a Club handicap system which goes up to 54. All you need to do to get this is complete three scorecards; it is really easy!

9-Hole Par 3 Short Course & Putting Green
To compliment the two 18 hole courses we have a 9 hole Par 3 short course, perfect if you are short of time or looking to sharpen your short game. All Members have unlimited access to play this course days as per category.

There is also a short game practice green set at 60 yards. The green style target performs like a real green with the same bounce, spin and roll. There is also a practice putting green located by the Par 3 course and another by the Clubhouse.

NEW – Practice Net
A brand new practice net has been installed next to the putting green by the Clubhouse providing a safe and convenient space for golfers to warm up before every game and practice their swing and technique.

Driving Range
The Driving Range has recently undergone a major refurbishment with significant investment and now features TrackMan! This new technology allows players to work on areas they need to, showcasing crucial data from the ball’s measurements – making it a powerful practice tool. Whether you’re playing alone or with friends, the new TrackMan technology can improve your skills and have fun!

The driving range itself is floodlit and has an extensive collection of colourful 10 metre wide targets. There is also a practice bunker and the outside bays include a Huxley Golf mat which gives the feel of natural grass. We use only best quality Srixon one piece range balls which are dispensed from a range ball machine.

The range is bookable in time and you can hit an unlimited number of balls for the duration of your booking. We hope this will give golfers the opportunity to hit as many bad shots as you like so you can stroll up to the first tee with confidence. You will need to go online at www.yourgolfbooking.com, create an account and book a 30, 60 or 90 minute, guaranteed time slot, and hit as many balls as you can before your time runs out.

We know that members really want a way to warm up before a game, so you will also be able book a 30 minute time slot with a warmup bucket of 25 balls.

30 minutes/1 Player £5.00 (25 balls only)
30 minutes/1 player-£9.30 online (Unlimited balls) or £10.50 in store
60 minutes/1 player- £16.30 online (Unlimited balls) or £17.50 in store
