East Anglia Tour: Thorpeness GC
JBGS Society Day
Originally occupied by the Suffolk Sizewell Estate, when the land was sold, the owner secured the services of James Braid in 1922 to layout a golf course – now regarded as one of the best courses in Suffolk. The first 9 holes are virtually unchanged apart from the addition of a pond on the 7th.
Thorpeness golf course belongs to a unique group of worldwide golf courses each identified by a single special landmark, Thorpeness has the ‘House in the Clouds,’ a curious and dramatic spectre which watches over the fairways. This original Braid course is 6,311 yards long and par 70.
