Golf Courses
Hintlesham Golf Club
Adjacent to Hintlesham Hall Hotel, Hintlesham Golf Club is set amid 150 acres of rolling Suffolk countryside, in the old grounds of the hotel. The course was designed by architects Hawtree & Co., and modified by Walker Cup Captain Peter McEvoy. Part of the front nine plays alongside Home Wood, a beautiful landscaped garden reputed to have inspired the painter Thomas Gainsborough. The course has matured since its opening in 1989 and now features native tree lined fairways and water on the last two holes. The 4th hole, a downhill tee shot guarded by a pond, is a challenging par 3 and measures well over 200 yards. The architectural award-winning clubhouse features a stunning decking area overlooking the course. Hintlesham Golf Club is home of the internationally renowned KC Golf Show, one of the world’s best golf trick shot artists.
