"We had a brilliant time in fantastic conditions, both weather wise and the course itself. The most striking thing was the welcome everybody at the club gave us - from yourself in the pro shop, to a set of members on the course and then two sets of members at the bar. We felt really welcome and both left having had a great afternoon". Visitors

"...........Hayling is an eclectic concoction of all that links has to offer – sharp pot bunkers, hard and fast turf, quietly undulating greens, blind shots, gorse and need we forget … wind!........The turf on the Sinah Common is supreme, and as a Site of Special Scientific Interest it is stunning also. Undulating dunes framed with fescue, heather and gorse. One of the more beautiful, and perhaps hidden details (depending if you find the fairway or not) is the lichen – the circulatory system for all flora and a pulsating silver carpet.
To be honest, I fell for Hayling long before my visit. So much so, that I committed to becoming a Distant Member off the back of photography from the likes of Jason Livy and Sam Cooper. And of course the rumours circulating that this is the most underrated links in the land. I can safely say that I agree with this gossip and all it took was the sight from the balcony upon the glorious Art Deco clubhouse that surveys the opening and closing holes.
Each of the holes within this stretch is a jewel, and would happily find their way into the crown of any premier links routing". The Surrey Golfer

".......all in all as a collective offering, I was blown away by Hayling. Courses that ask varied questions are always the most memorable and I can remember all 18 holes here after one visit. that is always my benchmark for a golf course that I'd like to visit again and Hayling most definitely resides in that category". Alex Frolish, published Golf Writer

"I came down to play with the Weywood Golf Society for 36 holes yesterday and as someone who works at a golf club, I wanted to comment on how impressive everything was all day. Your starter was superb and what I thought was telling was how he stayed with us as each of our groups teed off. The food was excellent.Many of the guys commented on the quality of the ham for lunch. It was also a really nice of touch of Richard, your Captain, to come and say hello in the evening. As for the course, it is always exceptional. I know we had a great weather day which helped, but I think that your 14a hole is a master-stroke. You could not have done any more and I hope you will pass on my thanks to all of your team. Thank you all." Society Golfer

"I was hugely impressed with the whole course, its setup, presentation and condition was absolutely fabulous. Toby, my partner, is a member at The Berkshire and at Deal, he was very impressed as well. In fact we both agreed if Deal or Sandwich for that matter were in the same condition one would be suitably happy. The greens were excellent and had plenty of moisture retention, the pace and trueness both first class. The tee's and fairways too were excellent.Having played a lot of links golf over the past 20 years I would say it wouldn't get much better." General Manager of Goodwood Golf Club

"I was priveleged to be part of the Chichester team that came across on Friday (20/03/15) to play your wonderful course. I would personally like to pass on my thanks to all the Hayling members for making us very welcome both on and off the course. The course itself was amazing and a true test of golf, and coupled with beautiful weather it really was a splendid day out that will live long in my memory. The icing on the cake was having Steve Richardson playing behind us and witnessing some amazing shots, most noticebly the 3 wood to the short par 4 that finished 2 foot from the pin. My best wishes go to all your members and of course to Steve as he approaches the Seniors tour."Member of Chichester Golf Club
