Despite the huge deluge of rain , the greens were sublime. Best I’ve played on in a very long time.
James Braid Course
Lovely course. Fantastic greens very quick and some unusual slopes and shapes. There are some cross over holes but there are periscopes to check ahead. Good test of golf for all standards of players. Some confusion in the Pro Shop on arrival as I only booked when I got to the course as thought it might be raining. Despite being of advanced years and having played golf for 30+ years was treated like a new comer in way I was spoken to. Being a single figure golfer and having played lots of different courses I am aware of what roped off areas are and don't need be told or warned that plenty of members out there to inform them if I didn't observe them.
Amazing
This was the first time I had ever gone to this course. I was delighted to be welcomed by the shop staff and they were ever so helpful and kind. Helping me with any issues I had as well as walk me through the course lay out and a few tips. Overall, I would highly recommend and I will be coming back much more in the future.
Brilliant course
Fantastic course, well laid out and a great challenge.
A Special Place
Only played 10 holes due to Plantar Faciatis playing up, but really impressed with this lovely course which would have been more striking with green fairways. Some really nice shaped holes. Will worth a visit.
Good Tricky Layout
Unfortunately due to the lack of rain the course has suffered. The greens and the tee boxes are in good condition but the fairways are not good. They are scorched and in a number of cases there are potholes (from rabbits presumably).
That being said its a thinking person's course. I would like to play it again when the fairways are reconditioned and are green. I would certianly play it differently next time. There a number of 'blind' shots that you have to play and if you don't know where the hole is its quite difficult. This is made even harder because the fairways are like concrete and even with a good shot you are likely to ene up in the rough because the ball rolls for ever.
Surprisingly good
Challenging course with a nice quirky layout in places, particularly around the greens. Tight in places that require sensible club selection off the tee. Good overall condition, that I assume would hold up year round due to the sandy soil. Bargain for the price…well worth a visit.
Decent enough course
Played the course for the first time as a visitor on Sunday with a friend. We are both Scottish working in the area in which we are probably spoiled with choice at home which may reflect on this review.
The tee boxes were fantastic, fairways and general areas were quite poor but the fact it hadn’t rained for a number of weeks probably contributed. They were very patchy and rock solid and to be honest there was no benefit in hitting fairways over rough.
The greens were probably the best part of the course which a think reflects the higher price green fees we paid (£45) Sunday afternoon. We’ve played a handful of courses in the area as we have been working down here for around 3 months and these were by far best greens,
The last issue was even although we were allowed to pay on to the course we felt rushed all day as there was a county match behind us. Every other hole a different member of staff was coming out to tell us about this said match and to keep pace of play up. We were held up with a few groups in front of us so was completely out of our control. This took a bit of the enjoyment out our round.
In future I would recommend they don’t allow visitors and social groups right before a county match to avoid any problems.
Great course in winter
Plated here with my partner as my course was closed due to the weather.
The course was great with the fairways in a very good condition and the greens were a nice pace as well considering the weather we have had recently.
Could not fault anything about the course and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Interesting Course
Played here for the first time. £25 after 3pm price. Personally wouldn’t pay the £40 morning price for this course. Staff in the pro shop were very helpful, gave us a course map (which was needed) and pointed us in the right direction. The course is not particularly long but has several blind shots so prior knowledge of the course is definitely an advantage. Signage to next tee could be better but we managed to find our way round. There were a couple of times where when playing our 2nd shots we weren’t sure which flag we were going for so had to refer to the map. Fairways were very dry but greens were in fantastic conditions. Lots of interesting tricky holes, and bunkers to avoid. Wind spoilt it for us slightly ! Would go here again but only for the after 3pm £25 price
Brilliant
Played the course for the first time today, and I can safely say it won’t be my last.
The only negatives I have is it was a bit slow going in terms of pace of play. And some holes cross over which I’m not keen on.
Such a enjoyable day.
Started when we arrived and the lady in the pro shop was very welcoming and polite.
We then played 18 holes, the fairways are in great condition. The rough is challenging but fair.
Special mention for the greens. Arguable the best greens me and my dad have ever played on.
Finished the round with a drink in the clubhouse with even more welcoming staff.
Strongly recommended playing this course.
Bungay review
Nice course and conditions was good... Pace of play was horrific... Over 4 hours for 2 of us to do 18 holes where normally be done in a max of 3 hours..
Can't fault the staff or the friendly members stuck behind us.. (there was alot of them equally all getting frustrated too..
The shop had some nice clothes which I was planning on buying but couldn't as it was closing as we finished our round just after 5
Enjoyable course with nice greens.
Played here a few times now, the course is very nice and some of the greens are challenging and all in excellent condition. The staff at the pro shop couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. Good value for money too! I would recommend this course to anyone in the area.
Excellent course with great off course amenities
Great clubhouse and menu...superb staff
Fairways a bit sun scorched but good nevertheless
Excellent greens
Friendly pro shop staff
good greens poor fairways
greens were excellent but fairways are poor bare patches all over when you hit a fairway you expect a good lie which you dont get here
