For heritage and history lovers, Chichester's architectural delights stretch back more than two millennia. Roman Fishbourne, maritime Portsmouth, and Tangmere's Military Aviation Museum all offer their own fascinating chapters of English history. Or follow in the footprints of King Canute to the foreshore at Bosham, where it is claimed that he tried to turn back the waves!

Golf nearby:

 

Goodwood Golf Course

THE DOWNS COURSE:   The 7104 yard course has running fairways, undulating greens and the dramatic changes of level in the Downland valleys and hills. Stunning views can be had over the Chichester Plain, the cathedral and beyond to the Isle of Wight from many of the challenging fairways.

THE PARK COURSE:  An easy walking 6650 yard course that follows a route through woodlands and tree lined fairways with shots onto small greens demanding accuracy. The tricky dog legs and disguised bunkers make it a deceptively difficult course to play

 

Chichester Golf Club

Chichester Golf Club is one of the largest golf complexes in the South of England with its two 18-hole courses,driving range, 9-hole short course and crazy golf course. The two parkland courses are theTower course with generous fairways making a good score possible for all levels of golfers but watch out for the tricky MacKenzie greens, and the Cathedral course with one of the toughest front nine's around

 

Selsey Golf Club

Selsey Golf Course is a truly beautiful but testing 9-hole links type course. Situated next to the coast, with stunning views of the Downs as a back drop.
