About The Area
Uckfield is a strong East Sussex base for a countryside golf break, especially for golfers who want easy Gatwick access, South Downs scenery and proper resort golf nearby. Gatwick is the obvious airport, with Rome2Rio listing the road distance between Uckfield and London Gatwick Airport at around 22.8 miles.
The headline golf option is East Sussex National Hotel, Resort, Golf Club & Spa, just outside Uckfield. The resort promotes itself as being near Brighton and Gatwick Airport, with two championship golf courses, a spa, health club, restaurants and 104 bedrooms overlooking the South Downs and golf courses. That makes it the natural stay-and-play choice for a Uckfield golf break.
For extra golf nearby, Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club is a standout option in the wider area. It offers two natural courses, the Old Course and West Course, shaped around the contours of Ashdown Forest rather than heavy earthmoving.
Away from golf, Uckfield works nicely for rural Sussex exploring. Sheffield Park and Garden is a National Trust landscaped garden with lakes, parkland and woodland, while the Bluebell Railway runs heritage steam services through Sussex countryside between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Uckfield is best suited to a Sussex golf-and-spa break, a Gatwick-friendly short stay, or a countryside golf weekend with Brighton, Ashdown Forest and the South Downs within reach.
