The beautifully undulating terrain and four substantial lakes challenge the skills of golfers of all abilities. The 10th requires a drive and second shot over the same lake, when played from the back tee. It has been voted one of the most outstanding holes in East Anglia by the Professional Golf Association (PGA). The Constable The Constable course is also very picturesque. It is set among wooded plantations with several natural water hazards in glorious peaceful countryside. It measures 6,544 yards with a par of 72. As with the Gainsborough, the final hole presents a formidable drive over one of the large lake, to a plateau green with the clubhouse beckoning beyond. If you feel you have the mettle to test your golfing ability to its limits, then this is definitely a course worth taking a long hard look at. Stoke by Nayland is the perfect venue for a short break, an away day, a family holiday or a society outing. At this resort the off-course attractions are every bit as impressive as the 36 holes of golf on offer.
