What the club says: Our well-maintained nine hole golf course offers a thoroughly enjoyable game for all players. With five par 3s and four par 4s, the course runs along the river saltings and, with a backdrop of woodland on three sides, enjoys stunning, south facing views across the river Orwell. A superb golf course which caters for the golfer seeking a pleasant, relaxed, informal game.

Nice little course. A few too many slow players that don’t understand the basic etiquette of golf, other then that all good.

Short course attached to local park home site. Holes vary in difficulty - some quite simple and others more challenging but course is well kept and in a beautiful location. Facilities are basic but so is the price!

Hidden gem with great views over the river
This course is hidden awa6 from the main road at priory park. For £15 on a weekday this is a bargain. It is a 9 hole but can be played twice for 18 holes. The staff are friendly and helpful and the course is exceptionally well maintained. Great couple of longer Par 4s. Great fun and challenging trees in the centre of the fairways.Reviewer Rating

Tricky course with small fairways
Lovely location close to the banks of the River Orwell. The course is a good test of accuracy as the fairways are narrow with lots of out of bounds areas. More suited to iron players as hole 9 is the only hole a driver can be played. Worth a visit to improve the iron shots and approach play in a picturesque setting.Reviewer Rating

Tricky 9 hole course to play. Many overhanging trees and ditches. Must be straight or will be in trouble with some difficult escape routes. Pleasant and tricky little course set in wonderful scenery. The bottom of the course runs along side the river Orwell with views right down to Felixstowe Quay.

Early in the season. Greens have been tined and top dressed. 9th green is a temporary green as the green suffered in winter. Greenkeepers working hard to get the 9th green back on line. Quite a testing 9 hole course. Bit tight on some of the holes.

Just had a fab day out with three girl friends on this course. It looked really easy when we stood on the first hole, but boy were we wrong! With so many trees and ditches about the need to judge length and approach was mission critical. To our surprise we were all beaten by our 36 handicapper who revelled in the par 3's! The sandwiches in the Club House were excellent and the staff really helpful and friendly. We will be returning.
