Ufford Park occupies a parkland setting in the Suffolk countryside near Melton, roughly three miles from Woodbridge in East Anglia. The course was designed by Philip Sanderson and opened in 1991 as part of a hotel and leisure resort development. The layout makes use of mature woodland, established trees, and water features across gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Suffolk. The design incorporates several lakes and streams that come into play on multiple holes, adding strategic interest to what is otherwise relatively forgiving parkland golf. The course measures approximately 6,300 yards from the back tees and presents a layout suitable for a range of abilities. The routing moves through corridors of trees with fairways that generally offer reasonable width, though accuracy becomes more important on the approach shots where water hazards and greenside bunkering defend the putting surfaces. The back nine tends to feature more water than the front, with ponds positioned to challenge tee shots and approaches on several holes. Ufford Park functions primarily as a resort course serving hotel guests and members, with the golf integrated into a broader leisure facility that includes spa amenities and conference spaces. The course hosts regional amateur competitions and society outings typical of parkland venues in this part of England. The setting provides a relatively peaceful round within easy reach of the Suffolk coast and the market towns of the region.
