What the club says: The course is a challenging nine-hole heathland layout, free draining and playable virtually all year round. It features greens that have received much praise, and are widely regarded as amongst the best in East Anglia.
Adding to the pleasure of playing at Southwold are the views of the town and the Suffolk Heritage Coast.

Interesting 2 tee course
Lots of thick heather and you don't go into it! 5 lost golf balls 3 from tee and one on 4th shot on 11th! Greens were true with lots of undulations. Tees in good condition as wellReviewer Rating

Sunny on the Suffolk Coast
It is hard not to enjoy golf whilst the sun is shining but Southwold really is something special. We played on an evening twilight rate which was great value, better still there were very few people on the course. Every hole offers a different challenge with plenty of gorse to collect poor shots. The fairways were running with the occasional "links" bounce but all to be expected from a coastal course. The greens are relatively small and well protected but offer an exceptional putting surface, most probably the best I have putted on.We had a quick bite to eat in the Clubhouse before golf and the staff and members made us feel very welcome.

Every hole at Southwold offers a completely different challenge and that is why you can never be tired of playing this course.\The greens are in superb condition all year round.\There is a great secluded practice area a short walk from the car park.\The staff and extremely friendly and the food is sensational value. \This is such a picturesque course located a stones throw away from the town and beach. \Reviewer Rating

This is a real test of golf with a very interesting lay out. Each hole requires you to engage your golfing brain! No grip it and rip it here!
We stopped for coffee and lovely fruit cake in the charming clubhouse to discuss our missed birdie puts!
All in all, lovely course with a very friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff.
We will be back!

Turned up on my own and the very helpful (and new pro) soon found me a pair to play with on the front 9. Wayne and Phil - who just happened to be the Seniors capt and vice-capt - couldn't have been nicer. Played back 9 with the head greenskeeper - Nick - again a very nice guy.
Despite the recent awful weather and a heavy frost that morning, the course was in very good condition. The greens, despite being treated the day before were true, firm and reasonably fast. No bobbles or odd breaks and bounce. In short a delight to putt on, especially given the time of year.
The course is very 'natural' - it's on common land - and you do get walkers wandering about, but it's very enjoyable with some challenging holes, notably the 8th/17th.
In short, thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the visit. I'll be back!
Score (yellows) - 83, handicap - 16
