Woodbridge Golf Club

Rolling fairways stretch across the Suffolk countryside just outside Woodbridge proper, making this one of the more scenic spots for a round in East Anglia. The course sits comfortably in farming country, with enough elevation changes to keep things interesting without being too demanding for weekend golfers.

Golfers of all abilities seem to find their feet here, though it's particularly good for those looking to improve their game without the pressure of championship-standard greens. The layout makes clever use of natural features - mature trees and gentle slopes that reward accurate play rather than pure power.

What strikes you most is how well-maintained everything feels despite being refreshingly unpretentious. No fancy clubhouse nonsense, just proper golf in lovely Suffolk surroundings. The views across to the Deben Valley from several tees are well worth the green fees alone.

Expect to spend a good four hours for 18 holes, longer if you're taking your time with the scenery. It pairs brilliantly with a holiday at nearby parks like Moon & Sixpence or The Orchard Campsite - both within easy driving distance for an early morning round. Families staying at Woodbridge Glamping are practically on the doorstep, making it perfect for golf-mad parents who can sneak off for a quick nine holes while the kids are still sleeping.
