subject: Winter Golf Breaks [print this page] Winter isnt always a welcome season for those keen golfers that would prefer to continue their addiction to the sport throughout the winter months without having to go abroad. However, this purely depends on the golf course and whether it is playable during the wetter winter months.
A popular course for the winter golfers is Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club, based in Thorpeness in Suffolk, the course was built on sandy soil so has perfect draining during the wetter seasons, making it playable all year round. In fact, the course was only closed for half a day last winter.
Recently refurbished, the Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club is set amongst the Suffolk coastal heathland and the golf course offers a tough challenge for all levels of player.
The course is laid with sandy soil and heath land and Thorpeness also has the advantage of a low rainfall, which certainly guarantees a healthy competition of golf can be played.
While other golf courses are sometimes forced to close due to bad weather and water logged greens, Thorpeness green keepers work hard to keep the course looking and feeling great to rid you of those golfing winter blues.
Thorpeness is set in a unique and relaxing coastline of Suffolk, its stunning 18 hole golf course, with the 18th Hole framed by The House in the Clouds and The Thorpeness Windmill is complemented by the peaceful and stylish atmosphere the club house and hotel provides, certainly making this golf course the place to defeat the golfing blues!
Designed by James Braid in 1922, this Suffolk golf course winds through silver birch, pine trees, gorse and heather and was described by the Sunday Telegraph Golfing Guide as "Reminiscent of the inland glories of Sunningdale and Woodhall Spa".
Golf breaks are available throughout the year and this season sees the introduction of a couple of breaks for both the golfer and non-golfer. Fish & Pheasant weekends starting in January, includes free golf for the weekend and for those just wishing to explore the area and surrounding countryside and coastal villages, along with a host of new events happening in 2010 that will include golf breaks with cooking classes.
Also, some great Winter golf days and green fees, continuing until March from just 19.50 an introduction of a Golf Breaks Sunday Driver which includes overnight accommodation with a full English breakfast, three courses dinner and two round of golf from just 75.
So this winter dont let the golfing blues get you down, theres always something happening at the Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club.
