The ODGS Takes Once More to the Links at Rye Golf Club

A Day at Rye Golf Club – Tradition, Challenge & Camaraderie
Join us for a memorable day at Rye Golf Club, one of England’s most storied links courses, nestled along the south coast in East Sussex. Designed by the legendary Harry S. Colt in 1895, the Old Course remains a stunning example of traditional links architecture. Though the course has evolved over time, two of Colt’s original holes—the 12th and 17th—still challenge players today.
The Courses
- The Old Course features two nine-hole loops flanking the Clubhouse, offering an intimate yet formidable experience.
- 6,500 yards off the black tees
- Par 68 with only two par fours under 435 yards
- Five renowned short holes, where second shots to the par threes are famously demanding
- The Jubilee Course, opened in 1977 and expanded to 12 holes in 2014, offers a superb alternative.
- Two loops of nine
- Ideal for a relaxed yet high-quality round
