About the Course Haverhill Golf Club is located 20 miles south east of Cambridge, 17 miles west of Bury St Edmunds, 18 miles north of Braintree and 30 miles north west of Colchester. The golf course is set in pleasant parkland, lying across two valleys. The front nine with its undulating fairways is admirably complimented by a saucer shaped back nine, which is bisected by the River Stour as it meanders through the golf course with greens reputed to be the best in the county. The course will present a challenge to both the seasoned golfer and newcomers alike.
After an enjoyable round let us welcome you into the friendly and relaxing atmosphere of the Clubhouse, where our staff offer a wide range of high quality food and beverages.
Weather Conditions In the event of inclement weather please check to see if the course is open or if a trolley ban is in place.
