If you are brave you could ask Lakenheath if they would let you land
lakenheath airfield - Google Maps

They have a nice 9 hole and some good shopping facilities - if you can make it past the armed guards

If your talking south east, then why not nip over to L2K? Bell Dune is a couple of kilometers away and it will add a bit more to the day out! Actually there is a course next to Lydd, never played it though so cant comment on the course.

There's a couple of golf courses at Le Touqet as well, if you fancy something across the water.

Manston - North Foreland, about 10 minutes by taxi, top notch course, pre open qualifier, best avoid a windy day!

Jersey and Guernsey have excellent courses. Nothing far on either.

Alderney has a 9 hole thats more than worth while for something a little different.

Shoreham - West Hove or the Dyke, both 10 minutes by taxi.
