Most visitors arrive via London Gatwick, a half-hour drive to the north, though London Heathrow and the compact Brighton City Airport serve as alternatives depending on routing. The approach from Gatwick descends gently through the South Downs, trading motorway for narrower coastal roads as the landscape opens toward the English Channel. West Hove Golf Club sits on the western edge of Hove, perched on the cliffs above the sea - a clifftop arrival where the salt air and the sight of fairways running along the chalk bluffs announce that you've reached one of Sussex's most dramatically sited courses.
