Framlingham Golf Club, Suffolk. (1893 – 1920s)
The first course was laid out on meadows surrounding Framlingham Hall. It continued at this location until the early 1900s.
The club reappears in 1910 on a nine-hole course in Framlingham on Fairfield Farm. Play ceased on this course at the time of WW1.
The club was revived in the early 1920s with a course on Little Lodge Farm but this only survived for a couple of years.
From the Framlingham Weekly News Saturday 18 May 1894; “Framlingham - We learn that there is the prospect of a Golf Club being formed in the town. It is thought that some good links can be secured near the residence of F R Garrard, Esq., at the Hall.
