Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club had originally planned to open the state-of-the-art facility in September, but delays have pushed the opening to the end of the year.
The multi-million-pound project and one of huge significance to Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club and the wider community.
Alongside the championship links golf course, the new clubhouse represents a major investment in the club as a community asset.
The project has faced a number of hurdles, including a lengthy planning and public consultation process, a potential judicial process, and the impacts of the pandemic and rising construction costs.
Ipswich-based SEH Construction began work on the clubhouse in January.
The new building will feature a sloped, living roof and is designed to support the long-term future of the club while making golf more accessible to the broader community.
The new 1,020 sqm clubhouse at the club in Ferry Road will also include public toilets.
The development also includes five new homes, named Balfour Place, which will have views of the sea and golf course.
Mick Thomas, chair of Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club, said in January: “We are delighted to be building a new state-of-the-art clubhouse.
“We are incredibly proud of our heritage as the fifth oldest club in England and with nearly 150 years of golf played here, we are looking forward to having a clubhouse that meets the modern needs of everyone, including the wider community.”
