"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 am so impressed with the course - it really is classic links golf and the layout and presentation first class. Thanks for the warm welcome and I will definitely spread the word about this golfing gem and visit again sometime." Captain of Longcliffe Golf Club and GCMA Member

July 2015

"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

February 2015

The golf course was unbelievable for this time of year the presentation and quality of the putting surfaces were fantastic , the best I've ever seen for this time of year.
