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.
