Suffolk Golf Hotel & Spa

Lovely location and a real nice layout , 4 stars because of the Tee boxes and some of the greens

This course has so much potential but it needs a whole load of work to achieve this. Whilst the general appearance of the hotel and golf shop shouts first class the actual course is very disappointing. Tee boxes look like a goalmouth in the winter months, tee markers need freshening up and some proper signage giving directions to next tees would be helpful. Wasn’t told about the 14th being on a temporary green or in fact it was a par 3 not the par 4 as the card directed. Aprons around greens suffer a severe lack of grass and a couple of greens need attention as the bare patches are horrific. Not a course I will rush back to play.

It is a hard course with little room for error on some holes which was a nice test. I saw a lot of negative reviews online from past months and years but I was quite impressed. A few of the greens need a little patch up but most of them were really good. Fairways were nice but some of them had the grass trimmings left on them which was a little annoying but a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. Better signage would be handy with some holes especially with many of them crossing over and the building work moving greens not being annotated on map etc. would definitely go back and would recommend.
