SLINFOLD GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

Slinfold Golf and Country Club has experienced many exciting additions and improvements to its facilities over the years that have each proved a huge success. This has helped see the club become one of the premiere country club facilities in West Sussex and over into the Surrey border.
This autumn sees the arrival of yet more fabulous new facilities at the club, designed to enhance the experience for both members and guests each time they visit.
The club is delighted to announce the opening of its‘ Jessica Nail Suite’ at The Retreat. With its bright, vibrant colours, luxury manicure and pedicure chairs and a glass of prosecco if you choose, the suite is the ideal place to feel pampered and get those‘ must have’ GELeration nails for your hands and feet. The suite provides a striking contrast to the three existing luxury treatment rooms where the emphasis is on peace, tranquility and relaxation while indulging in a massage or facial with ESPA products.
Watched by a crowd of excited onlookers, and after much anticipation, the par-three short course at the club had its official opening to members in August. The Academy Course has been specifically designed to offer golfers an alternative to the existing mature 18-hole golf course. This will also compliment the use of the driving range to provide an all round golfing experience at the club. The course, nestled sympathetically within the landscape at the entrance to the club has two well established lakes and a beautiful vista to the surrounding Sussex countryside. The undulations in the course makes for a challenging and unusual environment that tests golfers with a handicap, while giving the novice golfer an introduction to playing prior to venturing onto the 18-hole course.
The club is also proud to introduce its members to a whole new training experience – in the fresh country air. A new, state-ofthe-art‘ outdoor functional training zone’ has been installed, enabling on-site personal trainers and members to use weight-bearing equipment outside to perform a number of core and muscle training exercises. The club is encouraging its members to embrace this element of an outdoor lifestyle by providing circuit training classes on the equipment that can, for the brave, be used all year round no matter what the weather.
Not a member at Slinfold? Don’ t worry, there’ s no need to miss out on some of its superb facilities. A selection of areas are open for nonmembers and visitors to experience and enjoy too, including The Retreat and the Jessica Nail Suite, the driving range and Academy Golf Course, plus the Lounge Bar with its beautiful views over the Sussex countryside, serving Costa coffee and a‘ daily specials’ menu designed to be as healthy or as naughty as you choose. The head chef, Mark Young, has been leading his brigade for over a year, during which time the food offering at the club
has gone from strength to strength, providing delicious snacks to more sumptuous meals. So, whether you need a place to meet a business colleague for a coffee using the all important free wifi connection; you want to top off your visit to The Retreat with a glass of prosecco; or, you want to meet some friends for some food, the Lounge Bar is ready to welcome you.
The club is just five minutes from Billingshurst or Broadbridge Heath, and eight minutes from Horsham town. With free parking, friendly and welcoming staff, and great customer service, make a visit to Slinfold Golf & Country Club one of your‘ to-do’ items this autumn. They’ ll be delighted to see you.
