Golf breaks in the UK
Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club has a lot to offer keen golfers with a choice of golf breaks to suit discerning players all year round.
Golf breaks in the UK have always been popular for keen golfers, an opportunity to get away with like minded friends and family who enjoy the challenges of a few rounds of golf, without the hassle of flights to European destinations and the weakness of the pound.
The 18 hole course at Thorpeness has the added bonus of being on well drained sandy soil so whilst many courses during heavy rain are a wash out, Thorpeness continues to offer play, almost all year round.
The hotel caters well for the golf set, the bar area, where lights snacks and lunches are served, is steeped in tradition and displays past captains and memorabilia from years past since it's opening in the 1920's.
If you are looking for a golf break within easy reach of London, take junction 28 off the M25 and head on up the A12 onto the A1094 and just a short drive will lead to Thorpeness Golf and Country Club.
The mature course is a par 69 on the men's card (SS70) and for the ladies it is a slightly more generous par 74 (SS72). With trees, heather, gorse and strategically placed bunkers you need to hit the right shots to score well.
There is no doubt that the only way to fully appreciate Thorpeness is to come and play and this year sees a variety of golf breaks to suit all.
