#  In the early 1880s a group of men and women recognised that a piece of rough heathland at nearly 800 ft. above sea level known as the Manor of Alchornes owned by the De La Warr family with a majestic outlook to the South Downs and beyond was an ideal spot for a golf course.
# After the drive-in (and lunch!) there was an 18 hole exhibition match between J H Taylor, the Open Champion of 1884, and J Rowe, the Royal Ashdown professional.
# The initial development was no small task to be undertaken by the ‘founding fathers’. Firstly, the Earl De La Warr was approached by Hugh Verrall to obtain access to the common who readily agreed to a 25 year lease. Next, a Clubhouse was required and, fortunately, available for rent was an imposing two storey, turreted house named ‘Chiflik’owned by the local Wolfe family at the current Clubhouse location near the 1 st tee and 18 th green.
# Three members Corfe, Langridge and Verrall signed the lease for the Clubhouse. The undoubted ‘powerhouse’ behind these early years was GT Langridge both financially and administratively and included a major contribution to the architecture of the first course.
