About Suffolk Golf Course

Champion Bermuda greens have been introduced to complement the Bermuda fairways. The facility is open to the public and publishes separate weekday and weekend tariffs for riding, walking, senior, military and junior golfers.

Origins

The club's official history states that Suffolk Golf Course was built in 1952 by Dick Wilson. A local tourism source gives 1951 and also names Russell F. Breeden, creating a minor historical discrepancy; the club's own account is preferred.

Design Philosophy

The traditional routing uses tree-lined fairways, elevation changes and doglegs rather than extreme length. Lake Kilby comes into play around the back nine.

Development

The greens have been converted to Champion Bermuda, matching Bermuda used through the fairways.

Today

Suffolk operates as a public municipal-style daily-fee course with walking and riding options and a broad set of senior, military and junior rates.
