Stoke By Nayland Golf Club

Created in the early '70s both the Gainsborough and Constable courses are well-established amongst lakes, streams and mature woodland. The designs skilfully incorporate the inherent natural beauty of the land and, with conservation a priority; over 60,000 trees have been planted.

The Gainsborough Course measures 7,000 yards with a Par of 72. The beautifully undulating terrain and four substantial lakes provide golfers of all abilities with a challenging test of their skills

The Constable course is equally picturesque, set amongst wooded fairways and several natural water hazards in glorious peaceful countryside. It measures 6,544 yards with a Par of 72

Brett Vale Golf Club
An idyllic course situated at Raydon surrounded by stunning Constable Country. The 18 hole 5,864 yard course offers a challenge to players of all ages and handicaps and offers first class facilities

Newton Green Golf Club
The club’s carefully prepared 18-hole course offers a unique experience of heath and parkland golf. A recent award-winning members’ club founded more than a century ago, with the original nine holes set out on the gorse-lined Newton village green, it now has a well-established second nine added in 1991.

Hintlesham Hall Golf Club
The 18 hole, par 72 layout included the special challenges of the signature 4th and 17th holes, the latter being part of one of the best finishes in the region.
