The Royal Worlington and Newmarket Golf Club is a golf club located near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, England. The nine-hole layout is consistently ranked in the top 100 courses in Britain and Ireland, and the "Sacred Nine" (as described by Bernard Darwin) is reputed to be the best nine-hole course in the world.The club was founded in 1893, and has been home to the Cambridge University Golf Club for over 100 years. Harry Colt was the first Cambridge Blue Captain in 1889. Many well-known and colourful amateur golfers have graced the club since and as one reviewer put it, "there seems more history per hole than at any other club in England".The course is known for its difficult green complexes, and sandy soil that allows for excellent conditioning even in the winter. Royal Worlington's nine-hole course includes two par fives, three par threes, and four par fours (par 35), and measures 3155 yards.

Mildenhall College Academy

Mildenhall College Academy is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Mildenhall, Suffolk, England. The school was built in the 1970s as Mildenhall Upper School and opened to students in 1976. Previously, it was awarded Technology, Applied Learning and Science College status and changed its name to Mildenhall College of Technology. In 2012 two extra year groups formally joined the school, Years 7 and 8 pupils educated at the former Riverside Middle School site, at Sheldrick Way. The school reverted to its original name of Mildenhall College at this time. The school converted to academy status on 4 July 2014 and was renamed Mildenhall College Academy. On 14 June 2020 the academy moved to its new main building in the Mildenhall Hub at Sheldrick Way. MCA6 operates a separate but adjacent specialised sixth form building. The catchment area includes two large USAF contingents at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath. From 2013-14 Mildenhall College Academy worked in partnership with the Gymnasium Theodorianum School in Paderborn, Germany to create a monument commemorating the Christmas Truce. The monument is thought to be the first of its kind in Europe. It is located in the Peace Village of Mesen, Belgium.Since September 2021, a post 16 football and education programme partnership has run with Ipswich Town F.C. which allows students of Mildenhall College Academy to represent the football club whilst working on their current studies in a combined setting.
