Pro Tips
The 13th at Lewes Golf Club presents a challenging par four, beginning with an elevated tee shot where the prevailing breeze adds to the difficulty. The fairway narrows significantly with increased distance, making accuracy paramount. A tee shot favoring the right-hand side is essential, as anything left will be obstructed by the trees lining that side of the fairway. For the approach, the right-hand corner of the green serves as an ideal line. Pitching the ball short of the green allows it to naturally feed towards the hole, utilizing the contours of the putting surface.
Sussex Ouse Flood Plain
Looking down the 13th you can see the river Ouse and its flood plain. In the early 10th century Lewes was made a fortified settlement with town walls being built. However, no wall was built to the south as this is where the river lies. The river is tidal and for many centuries regularly flooded the flat area that can be seen around it. This made a natural defence for the town and even when not flooded the land was marshy and treacherous to those who did not know the area.
