The Course

Founded in 1892, Ventnor Golf Club  is the oldest golf club on the Island.  A downland course, set on Rew Down  above Ventnor, with magnificent views over the surrounding countryside and the  English Channel.

5700 yards, SSS68, Par 70 it  provides an interesting  and enjoyable challenge for golfers of all  standards.  It is unusual in that it is a twelve hole course with seven of  the holes being played twice.  Alternative tee boxes on two of these holes  providing a marked variation to the way they are played.

The greens are first class and some of them have to be seen in the  low winter or summer evening sunlight to appreciate their subtle contours.   With four par 3s, twelve par 4s and two par 5s, there is something to suit  everyone whether or not you are long off the tee.

Open for play from 7am to dusk.   Tee times are only restricted on Tuesdays, Sundays and some Wednesdays when the  course is usually closed for general play until mid-day.

As one visitor remarked, who played  during the past season, "overall one of the most enjoyable courses I have played  and as for the views, what can one say - simply superb".
