What the club says: The course sits in a horseshoe- shaped loop formed by the River Waveney, and is an inland heathland course, with plenty of gorse and a mixture of pine and birch trees. Set in only 84 acres of well-drained land, it is a very comfortable course to walk and rarely suffers from excessive water.
The greens are quite small and well-protected, and the challenge is therefore in accuracy rather than length. In early spring the course is at its best, with the abundance of gorse in flower and some lovely views over the surrounding marshes. There is a variety of wildlife to distract you from your game, and skylarks can often be heard singing overhead.

Reviewed Jul 9 2016 by Barry R - rated 1 out of 5 The fairways and greens were in good order, however, either side of all the fairways the rough was at least 2' high and unless you had a spotter you were unlikely to locate your ball quickly, which in turn slowed play greatly. It was the same on top of the bunkers, so you had a double hassard. I thought the plan was to speed up play,this certainly lenghtened our round bt at least half an hour, because sometimes the bounce took us into the rough and sometimes it just ran into it. I have played Bungay before and it has not been this bad.
