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

(Round played: May 2013 - Score: 94 Handicap: 15)

Reviewed Apr 8 2022

Visited the club whilst on holiday with family and had a few hours to break away. Its a very small club just inland of Southwold so sadly only sea views on one hole. Although we played 18, its really a 9 hole course with some of the second 9 tea boxes being slightly different in locations but playing the same fairways and greens. For this reason alone I feel that their rate of £42 is too expensive, particularly that the condition of the course is average. I will say that they had just sanded the greens (not part of this review) and allowed us to play at the twilight rate (after 14:00) of £20 which I think is much more reflective of the general course condition and 2 nines. The course has a nice layout with some interesting holes across the landscape, fortunately the rough was down when we played but there's gorse on every hole for a wayward shot. A links approach is needed and I can imagine holes being completely different to play depending on the wind direction and strength. The staff were very friendly and the clubhouse is a nice place for a beer afterwards (Adnams of course). With two tees playing to 9 greens and a number of public footpaths crossing the course I can see it getting very busy during the Summer months. If you're in the area for a holiday I do recommend it but go for a twilight tee time and be aware it may be a long round in the Summer.

Glorious day

Played with the Suffolk junior captain (scratch handicap at 17..) and other members in a charity day. Excellent fun.

Mr

This course is well worth playing. Greens are excellent. You must manage this course . Some exceptional holes especially across the road the sixth. Wow this is a long par 4, with lots of problems along the way.

Well laid out course with good mix of longish par 5s, narrow/ dog-leg par 4s and punitive rough. Several holes require tactical use of 3 wood or rescue club off tee. Greens in lovely condition although most are rather flat, lacking linksy breaks for added interest (still couldn't make a put though!).

(Round played: Nov 2016 - Score: 91 Handicap: 14.6)

Just a 9 hole course, played from 18 different tees. The greens were in excellent condition for the time of year considering the traffic they must get. Was a bit slow but not really suprising but overall a most enjoyable day.
