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

Stayed one night at the hotel. Accommodation and food were excellent. Played the Constable and Gainsorough courses for the first time. Both were well-maintained and the greens were excellent. Some of the bunkers proved difficult to get out of and were in need of attention. Impressed by the greenkeepers who courteously stopped working whilst we played our shots. This is an ideal venue for golf societies.

Great place !!

Great place to stay and two great courses.
Constable course long and undulating and Gainsborough the same
but not as hard. Greens good but a bit on the slow side.
Hotel good and superb food. Bar staff in sports bar a bit cheeky and rude.

Good course

Good round in the sun. Course in great condition (although bunkers were a bit solid). Hilly - recommend a buggy.

Constable and Gainsborough Courses

Both courses overall in lovely condition. I found the first couple of fairways on the Gainsborough course would benefit from some additional drainage as found a bit 'muddy?. There were a couple of tees that had very limited grass! Overall, some fantastic holes, wonderful greens and great hospitality in the club house. Would definitely like to play both courses again.

Constable Stoke by Nayland

Played this course as part of a overnight package at the end of winter, the greens had been holotined and sanded but that was expected, the course has a fantastic layout and is not easy, it can be hard to judge where to land the ball on the green as a lot of greens are above the fairway. The staff are outstanding, very friendly and I could not fault the food. I would like to go there in the summer. We played this course second.

Stoke by Nayland has two course - Gainsborough and Constable. There is little to choose between them in terms of quality, difficulty or condition. Both are excellent. My only quibble would be that the tee boxes were not in great condition, and that I would have expected ground keepers to be repairing holes and moving tees to reduce wear and tear

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.
