MGS Mayfield Cup Competition – Cooden Beach GC – August 2025
A very pleasing turnout of 26 for this popular outing down by the sea. The weather forecast looks like a warm day so put plenty of sun tan lotion on.
Our venue is Cooden Beach Golf Club where the course measures a good 6,518 yards at its furthest, it offers a more sedate 6,182 yards from the yellow tee boxes, with five par three holes and a matching five par fives. Natural drainage is provided by internal and external dykes that border many of the holes, but these also act as a magnet to the errant shot that flirts with the changing coastal breezes which remain the true hazard.
Venue: Cooden Beach Golf Club, Sea Road, Bexhill On Sea, East Sussex TN39 4TR
