Sutton Park

Hull's municipal golf tradition runs deep, and Sutton Park has served the city's everyday golfers for decades, offering accessible public play on the flat, open terrain characteristic of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The course sits within the broader Sutton Park area on Hull's northeastern edge, where the landscape is quintessentially northern English — wide skies, prevailing winds off the North Sea plain, and turf that plays firm and fast in summer but can turn heavy through the wetter months.

A par 70 layout rewards precision over power. With 2 fewer par 5s than a standard course, or a reduction in par on some of the shorter holes, the routing demands straight ball-striking and honest course management from the tee. Municipal courses like this one form the backbone of English golf — unpretentious, well-worn, and genuinely inclusive in a way that private clubs rarely are.

Hull itself is a city with real character: a working port, UK City of Culture 2017, and a community where sport is woven into everyday life. Sutton Park fits that spirit exactly.
