IPSWICH, SUFFOLK

Architect: James Braid (founded 1895).

Yardage: 6,177-6,439 (par 71).

Green fees: £70 midweek, £80 weekends.

In a nutshell… Braid heathland heaven and very much an unsung East Anglian hero.

You’ll love the… Great mix of challenging, rewarding and densely tree-lined holes which are presented in immaculate condition year round. We’d suggest it’s a good idea to warm up on the neighbouring nine-hole Bexley course and make a day of it.
