\"Southwold<\/a><\/p>\n

Our road trip to the east coast of England took us to unsung seaside gem of Soutwold. We\u2019d heard all about iconic spots like Brighton and Blackpool, but have never heard of Southwold. It is sort of a caricature of every quaint aspect of British beachfront charm – lighthouse, pier (complete with hyperbolic barker taglines like “the best collection of homemade picture shows in the known universe<\/i>“), top brewery (Adnams), and a gorgeous necklace of colourful beach huts. A just behind the main seafront is a bonus waterfront of the inlet to the River Blyth where the <\/span>Southwold<\/span><\/a> Golf Club is nestled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walk<\/i> \u2013 The Southwold GC is so picturesque that I found myself taking a snap shot around every other hole (so several to share in this post). It\u2019s a scrub marshland so very few trees providing any shade. So on the sunny days bring\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Water<\/i> \u2013 There are no water hazards and if there were any, they would be brackish being in the middle of coastal marshland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wildlife<\/i> \u2013 The wildlife naturally includes a few squawky sea gulls, but that\u2019s about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome<\/i> \u2013 The course is very dog friendly including, our favourite, an off-lead (under control) policy.\u00a0 The course sits on common land so the public do walk the course with their dogs and we came across several during our round.\u00a0 There is even a bin for poo-bags by Hole 2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wind Down<\/i> \u2013 We ventured to a Doggie Caf\u00e9 – <\/span>Habour Inn<\/span><\/a> – instead of a \u201cDoggie Pub\u201d this outing on the recommendation of our Doggie AirBNB (If you are staying anywhere in the area, I can highly recommend <\/span>Alice\u2019s Reydon room<\/span><\/a> just a couple miles down the road. She not only welcomed the dogs, but offered to look after them when we went out for the evening!). Don\u2019t be put off by the countless signs on the approach road and the drive in the harbor itself which say \u201cNo parking beyond this point\u201d. The Harbour Inn has customer parking right in front of it. As you drive down the gravel lane along the docks you do wonder if you are heading into oblivion, but the Harbour Inn is right the way down almost to the end. You will be rewarded with a delightful meal with even more picturesque views looking out over the boat yard and inlet.<\/span><\/p>\n
