Sudbury used to be Acton Golf Club, founded in 1896 but was moved to it's present location in 1920. This course has to have one of the hardest starts to a round ever, three par 4's of 400 plus yards with the second being uphill! If you get to the first par 3 and you are not over par then you must be striking the ball well.
The fairways and tee areas are in great shape while the greens are very good too, a lot of the holes have raised approaches to the greens so club selection is vital, no more so than the 9th, get your selection wrong and your ball could end up in the bar!
Overall the course has seven par 4's over 400 yards although the one par 5 is quite short but with strategically placed bunkers.
The course is by no means flat and you will want that drink at the 19th when you have finished, the clubhouse and facilities looked great with just one criticism. When you have had a four hour round in the sun and come back all hot and sweaty the last thing you want is a 'push button' shower with no temperature control.
Come on Sudbury invest in some nice showers.
