Golfers will find Thorpeness Golf Club & Hotel to be a leading destination. Our course is regarded as one of the finest coastal heathland golf courses in Britain and one of the best in Suffolk. The winding course takes you through heather, gorse, pine, and silver birch trees, providing a challenging and scenic experience. The firm, quick drying soil, rare birdsong, and tang of sea salt in the air all add to the unique charm of our course.
We have a range of packages and offers available, including DBB packages and added-value golf round offers. Whether you're a summer, winter, or mixed couples golfer, our year-round golf breaks are designed to provide a memorable experience. All golf breaks include a 3-course a la carte dinner, bed, and breakfast, plus unlimited golf for the duration of your stay.
When it's time to dine, Ogilvie's Grill House is our breathtaking 'Tee View' restaurant, open to all. Our Head Chef, David, utilises the best of local Suffolk ingredients to create delicious Grill House classics that provide the perfect protein for a trip around the course. Braid's Bar also serves food all day for your convenience.
Thorpeness Golf Club has a rich history, with the course designed by the renowned Scotsman James Braid. In 1922, Braid laid out the course on low-lying heathland near the Suffolk coast, respecting nature and allowing the land to dictate the fairways, tees, and greens. To this day, James Braid's Thorpeness is regarded as one of the finest coastal heathland golf courses in Britain.
