MGS Christmas Bash – Dewlands & Middle House
The weather does not look too clever this week so I am guessing the golf is likely to only have a 50% chance of being on, if that. Keep an eye out on WhatsApp and email for updates.
We have a smaller than anticipated field of just 21 for the golf with a couple more able to just make the Christmas lunch.
Dewlands was designed and built in 1989 the golf course covers the land that surrounds Dewlands Manor. These fields have always been part of the manor domain which dates back to the 15th Century. Sited on the second highest point in Sussex the location provides delightful views to the South Downs.
Golf: Dewlands Manor Golf Club, Cottage Hill, Rotherfield TN6 3JN.
