My wife and I are avid social golfers and booked at Stoke by Nayland after reading the glowing reviews. Both the Constable and Gainsborough were as memorable and challenging as posted. We are very glad that we visited. In fact we differ in only one point. We thought the Constable was even more challenging with the hilly, undulating terrain. Maybe it was the pin positions but we had a better score on the Gainsborough over the 2 days. However, most memorable hole goes to Hole 10 at the Gainsborough. I tried to reach the green (150m) after a good drive but pulled it into the water! Reception staff were very friendly, especially Yvette who advised us on arrival. The double room we had was clean and looks newly furnished. Restaurant manager Joao was most attentive and helpful with the meals. The Pro-shop staff were also vey accommodating in rearranging flight times to avoid the predicted showers. Surely a golfing destination we will visit again. Many thanks.
