Ufford Park Golf Course
Woodbridge
Ufford Park Golf Course is an enjoyable parkland layout near Woodbridge in Suffolk, combining varied golf with excellent practice facilities and the convenience of an on-site resort. Set across 120 acres of rolling Suffolk countryside, it is particularly well suited to golf groups looking for a straightforward stay-and-play break with everything close together.
The 18-hole, par-71 course measures approximately 6,312 yards and makes good use of its undulating landscape. Mature trees, strategically positioned bunkers and natural water hazards create plenty of decisions throughout the round, while good natural drainage helps keep the course playable throughout much of the year.
One of the standout holes is the par-four 8th. From the back tee it measures 388 yards and doglegs sharply from left to right, with out of bounds guarding the right side and two ponds to negotiate. After finding the corner from an elevated tee, golfers face another attractive approach over water towards a challenging two-tier green. It is a hole where sensible positioning can be much more valuable than simply reaching for the driver.
Practice facilities are particularly strong. Ufford Park has Suffolk’s only two-tier driving range, with 26 bays and Inrange ball-tracking technology, alongside a putting green and PGA tuition through the Sam Foster Golf Academy. Golf club hire and professional fitting are also available.
The adjoining Ufford Park Resort means golfers can combine their rounds with accommodation, dining, an indoor pool, gym and spa facilities, making this an easy option for a longer Suffolk golf break.

About The Area
Woodbridge is a cracking Suffolk base for a relaxed UK golf break, especially for golfers who want riverside charm, heathland golf and easy access to the Suffolk Coast. Set on the River Deben, the town has independent shops, pubs, restaurants, riverside walks and a lovely market-town feel. The Suffolk Coast describes Woodbridge as a vibrant market town on the banks of the River Deben and a useful base for exploring the wider coast.
The main golf draw is Woodbridge Golf Club, founded in 1893. It offers an 18-hole Heath Course and a 9-hole Forest Course, both set on classic Suffolk heathland. The club highlights quick-draining conditions, which is handy for year-round golf, and describes the Heath Course as a serious challenge after more than 130 years of heathland golf.
For extra golf nearby, Ufford Park Resort is a strong option just outside Woodbridge, with an 18-hole course, golf academy, driving range and adventure golf. Seckford Golf Club is another local choice and was named England Golf Club of the Year 2023, giving groups a useful mix of formal and more relaxed golf options close to town.
Away from the fairways, Woodbridge has plenty to keep a short break interesting. The riverside walk, Tide Mill, local markets and nearby Sutton Hoo are all easy add-ons, while the Suffolk Coast and Heaths landscape gives the area a softer, outdoorsy feel.
For Hashtag Golf Travel customers, Woodbridge works best as a peaceful Suffolk golf weekend, a heathland-golf short break, or part of a wider East Anglia itinerary with Ipswich, Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and the Suffolk Coast. It is not a big resort destination, but for character, good local golf and riverside charm, it is a very tidy UK option.
