Rye Golf Club

Rye Golf Club is a private golf club in East Sussex, on England's south coast, featuring two traditional links courses: the Old Course and the Jubilee Course. The Old Course, designed by H.S. Colt, was established permanently in 1895 and plays as a par-68 over two loops of nine holes. The course gradually moves from the original marshland towards the sea, with narrow margins, challenging short holes, and often strong winds as key factors. The Jubilee Course opened in 1977 and developed into an 18-hole course with two nine-hole loops on land reclaimed from the sea. Rye also breathes history: the first competition took place in February 1894, and H.S. Colt was the first captain. The club is also known for tournaments like the President’s Putter and the Lord Warden Cup.
