Aldeburgh, Suffolk, England
Aldeburgh Golf Club
One of England's finest heathland courses — Aldeburgh combines natural heather, gorse, and undulating terrain on the Suffolk Heritage Coast to create a timeless and demanding test of golf.
About the Course
Aldeburgh Golf Club
Aldeburgh Golf Club was established in 1884 and is one of the finest heathland courses in England. Designed by Willie Fernie and later refined by J.H. Taylor, the course is set on the Suffolk Heritage Coast — a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty, with natural heather, gorse, and undulating terrain creating a golf experience of timeless quality.
The course plays to 6,330 yards from the championship tees and is characterised by the natural heathland terrain, the heather and gorse-lined fairways, and the undulating ground that creates a series of holes of great variety and challenge. The design rewards accurate driving and intelligent course management, with the natural vegetation and terrain changes creating a golf experience of genuine championship quality.
Aldeburgh is widely regarded as one of the finest heathland courses in England — a course of extraordinary natural beauty and enduring quality that has been preserved in near-perfect condition for over a century. The combination of the world-class golf, the Suffolk Heritage Coast setting, and the historic club atmosphere creates a golf experience of exceptional quality.

Why It Stands Out
England's Finest Heathland
Aldeburgh is widely regarded as one of the finest heathland courses in England — a course of extraordinary natural beauty and enduring quality. The natural heather, gorse, and undulating terrain create a golf experience of timeless quality that is among the best in English inland golf.
Suffolk Heritage Coast
The course is set on the Suffolk Heritage Coast — a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty and tranquillity. The natural heathland terrain, the heather and gorse, and the open skies of Suffolk create a sense of place that is unique in English golf.
Willie Fernie & J.H. Taylor Design
The course was designed by Willie Fernie and refined by J.H. Taylor — two of the most respected golf architects of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their combined work creates a golf experience of great quality and classic English character.
Historic Pedigree
Aldeburgh was established in 1884 and is one of the oldest golf clubs in Suffolk. Its historic pedigree, combined with the extraordinary natural beauty of the setting and the quality of the golf, creates a golf experience of genuine historical and sporting significance.
