Suffolk's finest — championship courses of national standing, each with a distinct character. The courses that make a Suffolk golf trip genuinely memorable.
Heathland · West Suffolk · The Sacred Nine
Royal Worlington & Newmarket
Bernard Darwin named it "the sacred nine" in 1928. Consistently ranked in the Top 100 of Britain & Ireland. Nine holes played twice — forty acres of west Suffolk heathland with more history per hole than almost anywhere else in the game. A pilgrimage for every serious golfer. The perfect closer to any East Anglia golf trip.
Heathland · Aldeburgh · Suffolk Coast
Aldeburgh Golf Club
Ranked in the Top 100 of Britain & Ireland. Championship course designed by Willie Park Jr, JH Taylor and Harry Colt — an Open-winning trio. Maritime heathland that plays with a genuine links feel: gorse-lined, fast-draining, par 68 that is a far sterner test than the yardage suggests. Foursomes preferred. Black labradors optional.
Heathland · Thorpeness · Suffolk Coast
Thorpeness Golf Club
Designed by James Braid in 1922 and largely unchanged — a heathland layout through silver birch, pine, gorse and heather with the famous House in the Clouds visible above the tree line. Almost next door to Aldeburgh, making them a natural two-course pairing. One of Suffolk's best-kept secrets from the wider golfing world.
Links · Felixstowe · Suffolk Coast
Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club
The only true links course in Suffolk — and one of only 246 true links courses in the entire world. The Martello Course, named after the tower between the 14th tee and penultimate green, is one of England's oldest courses, founded 1880. Fully exposed to the North Sea wind. When it's blowing at Felixstowe, hang on to your hat.
Excellent courses that reward the golfer looking for depth and variety alongside the Signature experiences.
Heathland · Woodbridge · Central Suffolk
Woodbridge Golf Club
Founded 1893 — one of Suffolk's most respected clubs. The Heath course is a fine heathland layout through pine and heather with tight, well-defined fairways. Consistently well-maintained and popular with serious county golfers. A natural partner for Aldeburgh and Thorpeness on a Suffolk tour.
Heathland · Ipswich · South Suffolk
Ipswich Golf Club (Purdis Heath)
A classic James Braid design opened in 1926, taking full advantage of undulating heathland to provide a traditional experience. Well-regarded for its course condition and variety — a strong option for groups based in south Suffolk or Ipswich.
Parkland · Bury St Edmunds · West Suffolk
Flempton Golf Club
A nine-hole JH Taylor design dating back to 1906 — one of the most enjoyable nine-hole courses in East Anglia. Compact, precise, and with a charm entirely its own. An excellent addition to a west Suffolk day alongside Royal Worlington.
Parkland · Fynn Valley · Ipswich
Fynn Valley Golf Club
Picturesque valley setting near Ipswich with a challenging 18-hole course — tree-lined, contoured greens and nearly 100 bunkers. Driving range, 9-hole course, golf lessons and self-catering cottages on-site. A complete facility for groups wanting to combine golf with a longer stay.
Enjoyable, well-run courses that complete the picture for longer Suffolk stays.
Parkland · Beccles · North Suffolk
Rookery Park Golf Club
A popular Suffolk parkland course near Beccles with a scenic setting and good atmosphere. Well-regarded locally — a solid Discovery option for groups based in the Waveney Valley or visiting the Norfolk Broads.
Parkland · Halesworth · North Suffolk
Halesworth Golf Club
A well-maintained Suffolk parkland course in beautiful countryside near Halesworth. Good value, welcoming atmosphere and a pleasant round — a solid addition for groups basing themselves in north Suffolk.
Parkland · Stowmarket · Mid-Suffolk
Stowmarket Golf Club
A well-regarded mid-Suffolk parkland course admired by the late Peter Alliss — a tough test for better players with tree-lined fairways, bracken rough and challenging lies for anything off target. Par 69, always in good condition, and set in beautiful Suffolk countryside near the market town of Stowmarket.
Parkland · Bury St Edmunds · West Suffolk
Bury St Edmunds Golf Club
A well-maintained parkland course on the edge of Bury St Edmunds — one of England's most beautiful market towns. A natural companion to Royal Worlington & Newmarket for a west Suffolk golf day, with the cathedral, abbey ruins and excellent restaurants close by for the evening.
Parkland / Hotel · Woodbridge · Suffolk
Ufford Park
A championship 18-hole course open year-round thanks to excellent drainage — voted a Top 10 Winter Course by Today's Golfer. Hotel and leisure facilities on-site. A practical choice for groups wanting a complete stay & play package in Suffolk.
