Seaford Head Golf Course

Seaford Head Golf Course is a links golf course, situated in Seaford,[1] a coastal town in East Sussex, in the south of England. The course is on the Seaford Head Cliff, so offers views of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head.

History

When it first opened in 1887, it was only twelve holes, but by 1889 it was an eighteen hole course. The course is built on a Saxon camp that comes from the Iron Age. During the Second World War, the course was used by the military and for food production. This caused a lot of damage to the course, but it was repaired in 1946.

Air navigation Beacon

Unusually there is an air navigation beacon located on the course that is used by pilots en route to Gatwick Airport and beyond.
