Described as a Hidden Gem of Suffolk Golf
“Fantastic little course. Not long but very tight. Each hole gives you food for thought and the many trees act like muggers to wayward balls. Brilliantly maintained. Can’t wait to visit again!”
— Stuart W, Google Review
“What a beautiful course! 9 holes of well looked after fairways with astonishing greens. Don’t be fooled by the short holes, this is a challenging course for your short game.”
— Gareth R, Google Review
