Services
A must visit if you are on the coast of East Anglia, situated in the north-east of Suffolk. The course has been here since 1884 and was laid out with some great consultancy from the famous James Braid. It is a nine hole coastal heathland layout, with eighteen different tees. Great bunkering, 'links bounce' and some of the best greens in East Anglia provide a strong test to golfers of all abilities.
A traditional clubhouse building provides a warm and welcoming environment for members and green fee paying visitors alike. Whatever your requirements we provide fantastic catering that you can enjoy while dissecting your round or to give you a boost of energy before your second round. If you have any dietary requirements feel free to contact us before your tee time and we will do our upmost to accommodate you.
Our annual golf membership allows for unlimited play anytime alongside the other fantastic benefits of being a member. In addition, we offer full annual membership at a maximum price of 520, inclusive of equipment hire, for any existing or prospective members who are unable to pay more due to their financial circumstances.
I teach you to play golf and not to play swing. I build your lesson package from your needs and cover everything from putting, through to on course lessons. We are passionate about fitting the correct club to each individual. Drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges and putters are all fitted with the same skill and sensitivity as we know the benefits our customers will experience from being fitted by an experienced PGA professional.

Very friendly lovely small golf course and club. Made very welcome as first time visitors. Has a nice relaxing ambiance away from the crowded beach areas. Course is challenging but playable by all standards.

Didnt play but it looks a good flat course with lots of bushy hazaards. If your spouse wants to play & you don't, go to Southwold shops. You'll both have a very lovely day guaran"teed"

We held our Dad's 80th birthday party here at the weekend for around 80 people.
It was a great venue, service was very good and the food was excellent, which everyone commented on.
Perfect place for a party.

Watch out for golf balls as you use the public footpath which crosses over the fairway. Such a pity this nice walk up from river into town has to be disrupted by golfers! Oh well we didn't get hit!

Played here twice whilst visiting the area, beautiful course with lovely views, it's 9 holes played twice but from different tee boxes so it feels like your playing a new hole 2nd time round, very well thought out. The staff are extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely visit again if I'm back in the area

Overpriced! Especially as it’s advertised as an 18 hole course, it’s a 9 hole! Given you have dog walkers wondering around the course as your playing it’s really not worth the money, would suggest anyone visiting go further a field and find a proper golf course!
