Stoke By Nayland Sunday /Monday November

We went for an overnight stay from Sunday to Monday. The facilities are excellent and the courses are interesting with some challenging holes. Having said that I'm not sure this a course to play in the winter. The constable was very wet underfoot and muddy in lots of places. Rain and wind stopped us from playing the Gainsborough on the Monday. However the manager gave us a voucher to return for another game which was very fair. I am looking forward to playing the courses again this summer.

The greens had been treated with sand and slit . But poor greens before this. Should be a discount until greens are sorted out.

Pretty good

Loads of good stuff.
Only played golf so can’t comment on the hotel.
But pro shop excellent, bar reception excellent as we’re overall facilities.
Played the Gainsborough course.
Some lovely holes, and greens mostly very good, although some quite patchy - probably leather jacket damage. Fairways good, but many of the bunkers in poor condition. Needs looking at- bit of weed killer and some more sand!
Quite slow.
Overall happy.

A Good venue with excellent hospitality facilites , played the Gainsborough course and found this to be a good challenge, the fairways and greens were very good although some of the teeboxes were in poor condition and the bunkers were full of compacted hard sand .
this course is very hilly and beware that some of the paths between the holes are in a very poor condition indeed and really need urgent rectification

Challenging course in beautiful setting of Dedham Vale and Stour Valley. Course is hilly with some long walks between tees; buggies may be advisable for those who would prefer them. Golf resort was welcoming and staff in the pro shop and hotel were always helpful. Rooms were clean and very comfortable and food options in the restaurant and sport bar were good also. Complex accommodates smaller and large golf groups with two courses available in a lovely country setting.

Well worth a visit

Really helpful, friendly staff. Knowledgeable in the pro shop and very helpful concerning tee times. We arrived after a morning of heavy rain and they had switched us to the Gainsborough course as we couldn’t use buggy on Constable course really thoughtful much appreciated. Food in Sports bar and the Lakes restaurant was excellent. Would recommend and we are definitely coming again

Played both the Constable and Gainsborough over 2 days. Both in reasonable nick though greens have recently been tined and sanded so were a little random in places, but that work has to be done around this time of year. Little wet in places given the recent rain but otherwise well looked after. Hotel room, food and bar were all decent. Always enjoy coming here.

Although we’ve had lots of rain the course has held up really well, greens were a little difficult after the work that’s been carried out on them but still very good taking the weather into consideration
