played both the Constable and Gainsborough courses last weekend (5th/6th February) in windy conditions but found both courses enjoyable and the hotel and organisation to be very good. The greens could have been in better condition but after the poor weather recently I think it would be hash to be to critical. Good practice facilties although worth using the car from the main car park as it is a bit of a walk with a bag of clubs. There was a website offer of 40 free range balls each which we took advantage of.

The course was undergoing some maintenance work during my last vist, which caused some interference but generally the course was good. Service in the club house is slow but good.

Great layout. Another great society weekend to play both courses. Bar a bit pricey but that seems the norm in hotel based course. Was a bit boggy in parts - but hey there had been lots of rain during the week beforehand.

Pace of play

Recently spent two days at the resort. Hotel facilities food etc very good. Unfortunately the pace of play on the two courses was not good. It took almost 5 hours to complete the first round a nd close on 5.5 hours to complete the next round. Such a shame that there is no control on the golf courses regarding pace of play.

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.

Gainsbough Stoke by Nayland

Played this course as part of an overnight stay package, we arrived and had one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, the course is good but needed a bit of a tidy up, the greens had been holotined and sanded and this was to be expected as this was the end of winter. The course layout is good the evening meal was outstanding and the staff were very friendly and professional.
