THE MIDLANDS, ENGLAND
Suffolk
Classic and coastal heathland golf from Ipswich to Aldeburgh.
Two Heathland Classics Across Suffolk
Two courses give Suffolk a focused but varied golf identity. Ipswich's Purdis Heath presents classic inland heathland across rolling ground, while Aldeburgh introduces a firmer coastal influence beneath open skies beside the sea.
The pairing suits golfers who value traditional heathland strategy and the quieter pace of East Anglian golf.
