Set within 89 acres of Sussex parkland near Arundel, Avisford Park Hotel offers a laid-back golf resort feel with enough on-site facilities to keep things simple for groups, couples, and society trips. The location works well too — you’re close to the South Downs National Park, around 20 minutes from the coast, and within easy reach of towns like Chichester and Brighton for an evening out or extra sightseeing.

Golf centres around two courses on site. The main Avisford course is the stronger test, with tree-lined fairways, water hazards, and enough variation to keep things interesting across the round. It’s not overly punishing, but accuracy matters more than power in places, particularly on the tighter driving holes. The smaller Park course is shorter and more forgiving, ideal for higher handicappers, casual rounds, or warming up on arrival day.

The hotel itself has a traditional country house feel mixed with more modern extensions. Rooms are comfortable and practical rather than luxury-focused, while facilities include a bar, restaurant, indoor pool, gym, and spa area. Food is straightforward and reliable, and the overall atmosphere stays relaxed throughout the resort.
