What the club says: The legendary James Braid laid out the 18 hole, 6,281 yard heathland course in 1922, yet the quality of his design is as evident today as then, and continues to offer endless variety and extraordinary challenges to golfers at all levels. The Sunday Telegraph Golfing Guide has been moved to describe the classic terrain as "reminiscent of the inland glories of Sunningdale and Woodhall Spa" - and that is high praise indeed! The golf course is playable year round thanks to the sandy subsoil, no temporary greens or tees!

Fantastic winter course
we turned up to Thorpness in awful weather conditions and whilst there was some standing water on the greens early in the round when the rain stopped the course dried superbly. the overnight winter package is great value as well.Reviewer Rating

Not inspired
Hotel, reception, pro, food, restaurant service, rooms - all excellent.Bit let down by the course.
Greens very good, but fairways patchy, despite perfect growing conditions in recent months.
Bunkers awful. Nicely positioned but terribly maintained. Wouldn’t play there again.
Very slow.

Great course.
You can play this course all year round and no Muddy shoes Sandy soil the water drains through. If you don't want mud on your trousers or golf trolley then this is a must play course.Reviewer Rating

Fantastic Golf Break
Just returned from a 1 night, 2 rounds of golf break and have to say it was an absolute please to play and stay there.From booking the break with Keely in the office, Barry in the Pro Shop and all the ladies serving in the Bar and Restaurant everybody was extremely helpful, friendly and professional.
Despite the recent thaw the course was in a very playable condition and the holes had much variety with gorse and bunkers proving a great defence.
The breakfasts and evening meal were all great tasting and well presented. All 3 of us loved the 3 Course meal. Compliments to the chef.
Our rooms were a stones throw away from the hotel and were well proportioned.
Thorpeness is a real hidden gem and the staff are a great credit to the Golf Club and Hotel.

When we started playing years ago there was lots of high gorse in front of the tees so you were punished if your tee shot didn't make it over. This has now been removed along with other gorse bushes which makes the course less punishing if your shot is errant. There is always some work / little tweaks being done to the course which is nice to see.
This course has great water management and the ground is rarely soggy for long or if at all.
The par 3's are interesting and challenging. The other holes are up and down with doglegs which also adds interest
