This club is too stuffy and stuck in the past, sadly missing the chance to encourage new members, expensive to join but course condition is very high standard but a bit clinical and predictable. Club is dominated by retired golfers who seem to spend their time looking for a reason to complain, new members do not feel welcome. If you are retired and can afford it then may suit you, if you are a weekend golfer save your money and look elsewhere as there are better clubs with a warm welcome

Was a member here for nearly a year and felt very unwelcome. With the joining fee and membership fees this is a very expensive club and for a weekend golfer far too pricey.The average age here seems to be retired 65+ and the club fixtures reflects this so getting a casual game at the weekend is tough and sometimes impossible. Facilities and course are excellent but as a balanced feel to enjoyment, warm welcome,and embracing new golfers i would say they are lacking big time.
The club has some very excellent course marshalls, good pro shop, good good teaching facilities. The course is kept to a very high standard but is slightly dull and not very rewarding, if you are looking for variation this place hasnt much to offer, it does have loads of bunkers will poor quality sand, too little sand and slow play most of the time
Hope this helps anybody considering parting with large sums of money.

Reviewed Jul 28 2008
Good, challenging course for a high handicapper - the trees close to nearly all the fairways makes up for the lack of water. Generally friendly membership, although the number of people on the course on a warm Saturday lunchtime led to few frayed tempers - not least from a member who rather agressively berated us for "holding up the whole course" despite the fact that we were right behind the four-ball in front of us and hadn't see the four behind us for the last three holes. Disappointing, particularly as the member in question was about five holes behind us and really had no idea how quickly or slowly we were playing - I guess he was just venting his frustration. Otherwise the round was spot on and I would definitely play the course again.

Well worth a visit
Bury St Edmunds Golf Club is a well maintained, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed parkland course with strong practice facilities and a reputation for excellent hospitality. It's one of Suffolk?s more polished golfing venues, offering a fair challenge for all handicaps without feeling punishing.Course quality
? Layout ? A classic parkland design with mature trees, gentle elevation changes, and a good mix of long, strategic holes and shorter scoring opportunities. The routing feels natural and never repetitive.
? Conditioning ? Greens are typically fast and true, with well kept fairways and tidy bunkering. Even in wetter months, drainage is better than average for the region.
? Challenge level ? Suitable for all abilities. Low handicappers will appreciate the need for accuracy off the tee, while higher handicappers won't find it overly punishing.
Practice & facilities
? Driving range ? Covered bays and good-quality mats make it usable year round.
? Short game area ? A strong point: chipping, pitching, and bunker practice areas are well maintained.
? Clubhouse ? Modern, comfortable, and known for friendly staff. Food quality is consistently praised, making it a pleasant place to relax after a round.
Atmosphere & service
? Members and staff ? Reviews consistently highlight the warm welcome and professional organisation.
? Pace of play ? Generally well managed, even during busy periods.
? Events ? Popular for society days and corporate events thanks to the combination of facilities and hospitality.
Value for money
? Green fees are competitive for the quality of the course. It's not the cheapest in Suffolk, but the overall experience justifies the price?especially considering the condition of the course and the standard of the clubhouse.
Summary
? If you're looking for a reliable, enjoyable, and well presented golf experience in Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds Golf Club is an excellent choice. It strikes a rare balance: challenging without being punishing, polished without being pretentious, and friendly without being casual.

Course overall is in good condition although as is the time of year there are a number of leafs about. Tee boxes in good condition and the greens are of average pace and true. For what the club charges this is a good course and can help improve anybody's short game. Signature hole is the par 4 440 yard 6(Round played: Oct 2021 - Score: 78 Handicap: 15.7)

Lovely
Really enjoyed my game at BSE.The course layout was great fun - back 9 is definitely tougher with a challenging finish.
The course is tree lined but quite forgiving in places. The real defense is the length and greens - which by the way were fantastic to putt on.
Really enjoyable and players of all abilities should go and have a game here.

I played here on their Winter Warmer package which was excellent value for money. The Pro Shop is fantastic, well stocked and Uber friendly. The members I met were also very friendly and helpful on the course. The greens and fairways were in very good condition considering all the rain and bad weather we have had this winter. Just a little warning: There are no tee off times so if you turn up at the wrong time, ie behind a 'regular? group outing, you could wait a while before it's your turn.
