Played this in the winter - course held up well to the wet conditions. A challenge to play well with all the gorse, but rewards good shots. Friendly proshop and clubhouse.

Played several times over the last few years when visiting Southwold & its a nice, friendly club and a good test, especially when the wind whips up. Yes its a 9 hole course, but they change the tees & the holes do play differently. Standout holes are 7, 8 & 9. Returning next month & looking fwd to it.

Played here Friday 24th Jan on a 'twilight' pass - 18 holes for £18, so excellent value, even if the course had turned out to be not that good.
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

This course is normally excellent, but the tees need cutting and the greens were not quite up to the usual high standard.

We recieved a warm friendly welcome from the clubhouse staff. Our 4 ball had a fantastic full English overlooking the 9th green prior to our 11am tee. The course itself is a challenge, with the ruff much like Muirfield you have to plot your way around this little gem. Greens were quick and very true. The 2nd 9 are similar to the 1st with a few holes giving great views of Southwold and the picturesque surrounding area.
We will be sure to return and take advantage of their twilight golf rates which were exceptional.

The course was in good condition and I didn't have to book a tee off time, the pro shop suggested to me when was the best time to play. The twilight rates were very good value for money. But remember this is a public course were anyone can wonder onto the course just to have a stroll and this were it drove me mad because people were walking across the fairways with no concern to see if it was safe .l had to wait on nearly every tee because there were people all over the place and some just didn't want to move on
