History of Golf on The Green
Newton Green Golf club was founded as a 9-hole common land course
in 1907. It is one of the oldest golf clubs in Suffolk. The
common land area now holds 8 holes for the 18 hole course plus a
spare hole which is maintained for the villagers 9 hole
membership rights, practise, and as an emergency hole when any
large scale work is undertaken on the course. These are challenging
golf holes, where patience and tidy golf will reap rewards.
The old area of the course is on the Green, which is rented to the
Golf Club by Newton Green Trust.
Villagers Membership Rights to play 9 holes on The
Green
Villager membership entitles a permanent

To register as a Villager Member, a resident must complete an
