Feast of the East golf tour


	Day 1	The Bell Hotel, Sandwich, Kent



	The Bell has stood on its present site since the early 17th century, although an earlier Bell Inn was certainly in existence in Sandwich from the 14th century and reputedly hosted Queen Elizabeth I. Although no longer host to monarchs The Bell is still renowned for its warm hospitality and stylish accommodation. The Bell offers guests the opportunity to relax in traditional comfort with all the benefits of modern facilities to hand. This small hotel prides itself on providing the personal service and professional care which ensure that every stay is a memorable occasion.

	Day 2	Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club

		Royal Cinque Ports, or Deal as it is more commonly known, was founded in 1892 and is an absolute brute of a links course. Its back nine is relentless, invariably playing directly into the teeth of the prevailing south westerly wind. The layout is stark – only the sandhills and wild dune grasses provide this narrow out-and-back layout with any real definition. You can expect tight and hanging lies from the fairways, making stances awkward. Let’s make no bones about it – this is a tough course

	Day 3	Royal St George's Golf Club

		Royal St George’s is a classic links course, and has hosted 13 Open Championships. There is nothing artificial about Royal St George’s; there is a natural look and feel to the course that blends beautifully into the surroundings. It represents one of the most difficult tests of golf, requiring courage, confidence and solid ball striking. Severely undulating fairways make good scoring very tough indeed . Commanding views over Pegwell Bay and the white cliffs of Dover ensure an amazing experience.


	Day 4	The Old Rectory, Woodbridge, Suffolk



	Situated in the quiet village of Campse Ashe, minutes from Woodbridge, The Old Rectory is an elegant, spacious Georgian house surounded by beautiful, peaceful gardens.It is a modern country house with oriental touches and great character, ideal for romantic weekend breaks, house parties, small meetings and weddings or simply for those in need of rejuvenation. There are just eight double bedrooms (two can be twin bedded), which are all individually designed. Breakfast is served in the Dining Room and in the Conservatory during summer months. They use only local fresh ingredients including award winning local sausages and eggs from neighbouring farms, homemade jams, yoghurts and organic muesli. Dinner is a three course dinner served Monday - Friday and the menu is created on the day using only fresh local produce.


		Woodbridge Golf Club
		Woodbridge Golf Club is set in idyllic surroundings, with fabulous views across the Suffolk region to soak up along with a course that will challenge you, intimidate you perhaps just a little in places, and ultimately reward you if you play it with discipline, care and to your full potential. It really and truly is an excellent place for any golfer no matter how high or low their handicap. It has often been heralded as the finest course in Anglia, and who are we to argue? From its location high up in the countryside, you can enjoy truly exceptional panoramic views and the changes in colours before you as the seasons change.

	Day 5	Aldeburgh Golf Club
		If it is a top notch heathland course you are in search of you could do far worse than check out the fabulous one at Aldeburgh Golf Club. There are plenty of challenges lying in wait there at every nook at cranny to test and stretch every part of your game and so, rather than go out there cold, it might be an idea to make use of the extensive practice facilities that are found on the site. There are some long holes too that will entice the big hitter to really let rip from the tees.


	Day 6	The Victoria Hotel, Holkham, Norfolk



	The Victoria Hotel is part of the Holkham Estate, home to the Earl of Leicester since the 1700s. Originally a run-down pub, it was transformed three years ago by Viscount Coke and his wife into a colonial-style hotel decked out with furniture from Rajasthan. It's a 10-minute walk from the seven-mile sweep of Holkham beach, the location for the last scene in Shakespeare in Love. When the tide is out, walk down to the beach and you can find yourself surrounded by nothing but sand and sea for miles. The food at The Victoria is classical and innovative, local, fresh and seasonal. They source the freshest local produce, our menu relying heavily on the best ingredients the surrounding area has to offer and what is seasonally available. All of the rooms have been indiviudally designed to encourage our guests to feel at home. Exotic fabrics, intriguing bric-a-brac and opulent colours give each room its own character, and its occupants a real opportunity to relax.


		Sheringham Golf Club
		Sheringham is located high on the clifftops on an undulating thin sliver of land, wedged between the North Sea cliff edge and the North Norfolk Railway. Steam trains occasionally rattle past the course, set an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The club was originally founded in 1891with nine holes, extending to 18 holes in 1898. The best holes are undoubtedly those that run close to the edge of the cliffs. The English Ladies Close Amateur Championship has been played at Sheringham on three occasions.

	Day 7	Hunstanton Golf Club
		Set along the shores of The Wash, Hunstanton provides links golf at its very best with greens that are the envy of every self-respecting club in the land. For all the many fine courses that can be found in East Anglia, where the light soil is ideal for golf, Hunstanton outranks them all. This is reflected in the substantial number championships that have been held here. The links has more than its share of intimidation, such as the cavernous bunker in front of the first tee, and another deep pit in front of the par-3 6th.
