Golf course review of Fynn Valley Golf Club

At £34.00 for a round on a Saturday at the end of February for such a distinctly average golf course is a rip off, I would expect the winter green fee here to be nearer £20.00 for value for money. Adding insult to injury are the numerous adverts around the course saying 2 course meat and 18 holes for £22.50 Monday to Friday!

The front 9 is pretty dull with few holes offering any real interest, the second 9 makes this course, far better designed holes and more pleasurable to play. (For the record I shot the same score on front and back 9 so this is not a rose tinted view).

The course does not drain very well and given the recent rainy season it showed as drives frequently landed and stopped almost instantly. The greens were reasonable, medium paced I'd say (unless putting down some of the severe slopes) with a few unexpected bobbles, I'll put this down to foot prints in the soft turf, should be a lot better in dryer times)

Overall, I'd play this course again in good conditions but at this price I'd give it a miss this time of year.

Golf course review of Fynn Valley Golf Club

I may not be as enthusiastic about Fynn Valley as Andrew, but i certainly agree with him that it is a cracking course, with enough to keep golfers of all abilities interested. There are a couple of fairly short par 3s that give good birdie opportunities and there are several well placed water hazards and ditches, that come in to play,no matter how far you can hit the ball.

Golf course review of Fynn Valley Golf Club

I joined FV last summer and now enjoy this gem 2/3 times each month. It has a selection of difficult holes whilst giving you a good chance of birdieson others. Only 3 holes have not given me pars (yet). The club has a membership including county players and if it's good enough for them, I'm always up for a challenge. If you think Suffolk is flat enjoy the upward climbs of the 9th, 17th and 18th, especially if the winds blowing. Yesterday the greens were excellent, very true with the fairways running fast (as long as you stay on them).
Value for money this has been the best membership investment I could wish for - the pro's and their shop are first class, whilst the club staff are great. If you want a fair challenge you won't go far wrong here. (Yes and I am biased giving it an excellent rating). Look out for a possible GST day here in the next few years.
