Cottesmore Hotel, Golf and Country Club

Set within the grounds of this established golf and country club, Cottesmore's three outdoor courts occupy a corner of the West Sussex countryside, fifteen minutes south of Gatwick Airport. The venue sits in Crawley's RH11 postcode, making it accessible for players from both Surrey and Sussex borders. Courts operate year-round despite their outdoor positioning, benefiting from the club's mature landscaping that provides natural windbreaks. Bookings run through Playtomic's platform, integrated alongside the club's existing golf and leisure reservations system. The facility forms part of Cottesmore's broader sporting offer, which includes the eighteen-hole championship golf course and fitness facilities. This positioning means padel players can access the club's restaurant and bar facilities after matches, though the venue primarily caters to its established membership base rather than casual drop-in players. Location advantages include proximity to the M23 corridor and reasonable access from London's southern suburbs, though public transport connections require careful planning. First-time visitors should confirm court availability in advance, particularly during weekends when golf events may increase overall demand for the club's facilities. The venue remains one of only two padel options within this immediate area.
