According to Golf Monthly in their March 2009 issue Holtye Golf Club has had an honourable mention from one of their writers - Jeremy Ellwood. The article quite rightly says that not all clubs have 18 holes, but it does not mean courses with less than 18 holes should be overlooked. Jeremy Ellwood writes “Starting on home ground before radiating out to the far north west of Scotland, I’m going to kick off with Holtye just a few miles from where I live. In many ways this course on the Kent-East Sussex border is a miniature version of my home club Crowborough, with several changes in elevation, and fairways that wend through trees and heather. The long par-4 3rd (for the men) is not for the faint-hearted. Its green sits in the apex of a junction between a minor road and the busy A264, and standing on the fairway, substantial club in hand, is real heart-in-the-mouth stuff. A hook is definitely not a good idea. In its early days Holtye was called Liliput Golf Club – not on account of its size but rather because Gulliver was the name of the local landlord at the adjacent White Horse Inn, which served as a handy 19th hole.” |
