Played both courses via society stay over 2 days. Both in good condition as per usual and each course presents a different test. Well looked after by the venue as per previous visits. Dinner was especially good. Will be back in due course.

Gainsborough course was a great challenge with many variations in the challenge plus greens actually move too!

Long carry from car park

Both courses were in good condition, despite heavy rain showers. Some strange breaks on greens but an overall good test. Only gripe is being made to carry my bag so far to reach the buggy.

Gainsborough course has a few hills . Coffee shop half way round with toilets. The greens not as good as the Constable course.. Challenging course with some nice holes lovely par 3 to end over water..
Very good food with bar. Driving range as you drive in on the left..hotel facilities on site.

Tough conditions

The rain has taken its toll on all courses. The conditions made a tough course unenjoyable.

Lovely course. Both the Gainsborough and Constable are worth playing. Lots of interesting challenges and home layouts.

Stoke By Nayland Sunday /Monday November

We went for an overnight stay from Sunday to Monday. The facilities are excellent and the courses are interesting with some challenging holes. Having said that I'm not sure this a course to play in the winter. The constable was very wet underfoot and muddy in lots of places. Rain and wind stopped us from playing the Gainsborough on the Monday. However the manager gave us a voucher to return for another game which was very fair. I am looking forward to playing the courses again this summer.

The greens had been treated with sand and slit . But poor greens before this. Should be a discount until greens are sorted out.
