You may not be able to see your Dad this Father's Day, but you can still show him how much you care with a gift from The Suffolk Coast...
If you want to give Dad something a little different this year and for-go the socks and slippers, then our Father's Day Gift Guide has all the inspiration you need!
A Round of Golf
Thorpeness is a classic British heathland designed by five-time Open Champion and legendary golf course architect James Braid. This Par 70, 18 hole, challenging 6,421-yard course winds through heather, gorse, pine and silver birch trees, and will test golfers of all abilities. Prices range from £30 - £160 (https://www.thorpeness.co.uk/).
Alternatively, treat Dad to a 5-day or 7-day membership at Ufford Park Golf Club; the award-winning 18 hole, par 71 golf course spread across 120 acres of undulating parkland is ideal for intermediate and experienced players.
Activity Day at High Lodge
There's plenty of activities for Dads on offer at High Lodge Leisure including clay shooting, golf, foot golf, air rifle, archery and fishing. Sessions are available as pre-booked slots, so Dad can enjoy Father's Day with friends or family.
