Aldeburgh Golf Club


The original Aldeburgh Golf Club course was designed in 1884 by John Thompson from Royal Wimbledon and Open champion Willie Fernie from Felixstowe and later modified by J.H. Taylor and Willie Park Junior. Taylor’s bunkers are visible today, recognisable by their sweeping banks which curve both vertically and horizontally. The new heathland course was officially opened in 1908 and has hardly changed since. It is a traditional club, although unusually women had equal rights with men from the start. There are some long holes to tempt the big hitter but plenty of holes that require careful attention. There is also a smaller nine-hole course.

Catering: Aldeburgh is renowned for its full lunch, which is provided in the dining room but, if the need is for something lighter, soup and sandwiches are available from the bar. Teas are served during the afternoon. There is no evening catering. The price of lunch varies according to the menu but the choice might be between a full three-course lunch (including roast meat when available), or steak and kidney pie followed by dessert or cheese. Price available on request. Bar lunch of soup and sandwiches is also available. The bar stocks Adnams’ famous draught brew from Southwold, together with a range of bottled beers and lagers, wines, spirits and soft drinks. Drinks can be supplied from a small spike bar leading onto the terrace. However, in anything but warm weather, those who decide on a meal after golf would be more comfortable in the Clubhouse proper.
