OUR CHAMPIONSHIP COURSES
A W I N N I N G D U O
Unique to the region, we have two championship golf courses, which means double the golfing fun! Named after famous local artists Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable, our courses offer challenging terrains amid lakes, streams, and woodlands.
Having played host to internationally telivised championships including the European Seniors and PGA Europro Tours, our courses could be your golden ticket to golfing greatness.
THE CONSTABLE COURSE KEY STATS:
6,544 YARDS, PAR 72
THE GAINSBOROUGH COURSE KEY STATS: 7,000 YARDS, PAR 71
The 10th hole on the Gainsborough Course was voted one of the most outstanding holes in East Anglia by the Professional Golfers Association (PGA), and the final holes on both courses present a formidable drive over one of four large lakes. Are you up for the challenge?

DRIVING RANGE
Featuring 22 covered bays, a putting green and a short-game practice area, head to the driving range to perfect your skills for the course. Our video coaching software provides visual aids to analyse your swing, highlighting areas to improve.
GOLF SIMULATOR
Whether you want to enhance your game, challenge your colleagues to a virtual nearest the pin competition, or test your skills on famous courses around the world, our indoor 4K Golf Simulator has everything you need for a great round – no matter the weather.
