Very poor! Avoid
Recently on a golf trip with some friends and we played all the respected courses in the area, Aldebory, Woodbridge, Purdis Heath etc on a weeks golf trip. We were advised to stay and play at Thorpeness and although the hotel was okay but not the best value the course was simply awful. Not sure what the business MO is here but clear the course manager and or Director of Golf aren’t cutting the mustard here. I would rate this no better than a municipal course and the money they are charging is staggering. Staff are friendly but I guess that’s the bare minimum these days. Greens were fairways, fairways were non existent and the tees, well….if you can call them tees! Best way to play this place is to avoid it. Please don’t waste your money or time.Reviewer Rating

A winter beauty
2 days & blessed with warm late November sunshine on a wonderful Braid course & with no mud in sight. Running fairways faster than the usual winter greens & playing to the breaks. A minor minor quibble was the recent aereation of the greens so not running to perfection but I’m back here like a shot next chance & the winter hotel deal is a massive draw too. Staff all excellent. Great spacious rooms & a really enjoyable course.Reviewer Rating

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

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

As Arnie says - We'll be back!
This was our 5th annual Autumn tour, but a new course for us - and wow - we were not disappointed. What a cracking set up at Thorpeness. The Hotel was top class - as was the food and we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days stay. As for the course, we loved it. Some easy holes, but others were challenging to say the least. Considering the rain that had fallen overnight before our first round, we were surprised the course was open with all the flooding on the surrounding roads. We should not have worried. The course drains exceptionally well and we played 3 days in completely different conditions, all of which helped make each hole different. Highly recommended and we will be back!Reviewer Rating

Drove for two hours to play a dry course and was not disappointed. One new green was wet everywhere else was excellent. Interesting mix of holes and greens were fast and true.

Top 100 tour
We played here in early July 2020 as part of our “top 100 tour” May/August. We were truly impressed with the presentation of the course and the fantastic layout. This track is a true test of golf so best bring your A game I’d say! In our opinion we would say current rating is quite a bit lower than we would rate it during our visit. On current condition it’s got to be pushing for a top 50 spot. Will be back for sure.Reviewer Rating

Always Amazing
Once again blown away by the condition of Thorpeness. Plays tougher in the winter due to cold and wind but so enjoyable and surely one of the most underrated in suffolk.If you get a chance, go and play. ?25 after 12pm deal in the winter is a serious bargain.
