THE CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE

Aldeburgh’s Championship Course is built on sandy heathland but has the feel of a links on many of the holes. A visit in the winter is particularly enjoyable as the course plays beautifully, with no need for preferred lies, temporary tees or greens. A round of golf at Aldeburgh takes approximately 3 hours.

COURSE INFOMATION

The Championship Course measures 6,916 yards from the Blue tees.  A recent renovation, led by Mackenzie& Ebert has extended the par from 68 to 70 for men with two new par fives, four testing par threes and 12 demanding par fours. The ladies’ par remains 74 with six par fives and the appeal of the course is evident from the number of occasions on which the English Ladies have held their championship at Aldeburgh . . . from someone who has played golf all over the world.

The new layout introduces significant variety while continuing to challenge golfers of all standards with every hole an examination in shot making and accuracy. The new holes also make the most of some stunning views across the course to the river, the iconic clubhouse and the sea.

Please note that whilst the newly refurbished course is an exciting development in the Course’s history, mats will be in play on the four new holes for the foreseeable future as they settle in.
