About: Rye (Old)
Rye (Old) is a links, 18 hole golf course in Sussex. The course first opened on this site in 1895.
Rye Golf Club (Old) in Rye, East Sussex, was established in 1894 by designer Harry S. Colt, with later alterations by Tom Simpson in 1932 and Guy Campbell in 1938. This par 68 course is known for its challenging layout and rippled fairways, providing a demanding game especially due to its low slope rating which undermines the actual difficulty players face on the course.
The Old course at Rye Golf Club is steeped in tradition, requiring foursomes (alternate shot) play and adhering to a strict dress code. Notable holes include the 13th, a par 4 with a blind shot over an Alps-like dune, and the 464-yard 15th hole, which is considered a significant challenge due to its daunting length and prevailing wind.
