Aldeburgh Golf Club Suffolk

Aldeburgh Golf Club has a proud and hospitable heritage and an innate love for its eighteen-hole course which ranks amongst Golf World’s top 100. Stories of golfing adventures abound in the clubhouse, but the members reserve a warm welcome for visitors and a keen ear for new myths and legends and tales of ‘the one that got away’.

The challenging 18-hole course is maintained and presented in fine condition, with the added bonus of superb views across the River Alde to Iken Church on the southern bank and, across from it, a line of pine trees silhouetted against the water, known locally as ‘Little Japan’. It is breathtaking at any time of day, but particularly so as the sun begins to set in the wide skies of East Anglia behind the church. In the other direction, coastal shipping can be spied from the higher spots on the first nine.

Given the chance to play a splendid course in these surroundings, who can afford to miss it? Certainly not the player who also knows that the back nine has its own version of ‘Amen Corner’ and brings the successful golfer home glowing with satisfaction.
