About Norfolk Golf Tours & Breaks

Norfolk golf tours offer a vibrant mix of coastal tranquillity and exciting links courses like the Royal Cromer Golf Club. With many courses here often voted in the Top 100 UK golf courses, the options in this county are vast. When you’ve sunk your final putt of the day, Norfolk still has plenty of local history, stunning nature and great cuisine to keep you entertained.

Golf Breaks in Norfolk

With an incredible coastline spanning 100 miles, and the gorgeous Norfolk Broads to explore, golf breaks in Norfolk are a delightful way to practise your swing before soaking in local culture and landscapes. Wildlife watching, boating on the Broads, and exploring the land’s natural beauty are just some of the activities you can enjoy.

Lose yourself in the open greenery, or head into the historic cathedral city of Norwich to enjoy the bustling nightlife – either way, you’ll have an unforgettable experience.

The Royal Cromer Golf Club is a stunning 18-hole clifftop course – and has rested there for over 100 years, making it one of the most prestigious courses in the UK. It’s also fitted with a Cask Marque-proofed clubhouse, a terrific place to enjoy a refreshing beverage if you happen to get a hole in one. If that happens, you’ll be buying a round for everyone!

Having undergone substantial renovations in recent years – from the re-shaping of existing holes to bunkering – Hunstanton Golf Club ’s links is famous for hosting national amateur events such as the Mixed Pairs Open. It’s a challenging day of golf but worth it for the warm and welcoming environment.

Norfolk, on the east coast of England and within easy distance of London and the Midlands, is a delight for golfers, with courses in beautiful countryside and along stunning coastline.

TREVOSE, CORNWALL - MAY 24: The green on the par 5, 4th hole at sunset at the Trevose Golf and Country Club, on May 24, in Trevose, England. (Photo by David Cannon/Getty Images)

With the sunniest/driest climate in the UK and summer temperatures amongst the best in the country, Norfolk is one of the leading places in the UK to play golf. The county has a good blend of links and inland courses, many of them close to the popular seaside towns of Great Yarmouth, Cromer and Hunstanton, and also around the medieval city of Norwich, with its wide range of shopping, culture, heritage and restaurants.

Hunstanton Golf Club is one of those magical, uncomplicated links golf courses where, no matter what you score, you always walk off with a smile on your face. The front nine starts relatively flatly and meekly but once you hit the par 3 7th, the sea comes into view and the excitement builds until it reaches a crescendo over the final six holes.

‘A royal welcome awaits you in North Norfolk.’ Visitors are always welcome at Royal Cromer any day of the week and can look forward to a memorable experience. The course is considered one of the finest in the region, boasting fantastic views over the coastline and will challenge players of all levels.

Sheringham Golf Club , as well as the history surrounding the club, visitors are greeted with a warm welcome and treated to what is largely regarded as one of Norfolks best golf courses. The undulating fairways and fast, true greens will prove a test to all standards of golfer and the views are truly spectacular with the North Sea on one side and local steam trains on the other.

One of the best inland courses in East Anglia, King’s Lynn was carved out of a wonderful north west Norfolk pine and silver birch forest and was created by dynamic duo Dave Thomas and Peter Alliss in the mid-1970s. It’s not the longest course, but the gently undulating heathland’s biggest defence is the towering stands of assorted timber overlooking all the fairways.

Hunstanton Golf Club

Hunstanton is a superb championship links course. For more than a century golfers have walked the rolling fairways nestling in a stunning landscape of dunes and links land grasses.

Hunstanton links is a classic 'out and back' design, on either side of a central spine or dune ridge. The 12th, 13th and 14th holes play across this ridge and offer excellent views of the coast, and the final three holes provide a challenging conclusion. A warm welcome awaits you at the award-winning clubhouse. A well-stocked Professional’s shop and practice facilities are available.

King's Lynn Golf Club

King's Lynn Golf Club at Castle Rising is one of East Anglia's premier golf clubs. Carved out of a pine and silver birch forest, close to the Royal Sandringham Estate, this sandy, well-drained course compares favourably with some of the finest inland courses in the UK.

The course was designed by Dave Thomas and Peter Alliss and at 6,609 yards par 72 is a challenge for even the most accomplished player. Each hole is unique with undulating natural tree-lined fairways of silver birch and fir, strategically placed to cost you a shot or more should you wander off line. Be assured that once you have played King's Lynn you will want to return time and time again.

Play 18 holes, Sunday to Friday.

What are the best golf courses in Norfolk?

1. Royal West Norfolk

It oozes memorability and distinctiveness and is a step back in time both on and off the course.

Royal West Norfolk, in Brancaster, is up there with Lahinch, Prestwick and North Berwick for fun, idiosyncratic golf.

No other course in Britain changes with the tides as Brancaster does – you need to check the tide tables before visiting as you could very easily end up cut off in the car park.

The holes around the turn that are affected by the tide are often noted as the stars, but there in fact are a dozen classics. It rewards strategy and imagination.

2. Hunstanton

A classic links, with a central sand ridge providing for excellent design and with true, quick greens.

Hunstanton is always in impeccable condition and gets better and better as the round progresses. This traditional links is often played with the wind at your back for the front nine, but the back nine is a fearsome challenge. A regular championship host, the Women’s Amateur this summer being the latest.

While predominantly a two-ball course for singles and foursomes play, four-balls may be played throughout the year on Tuesdays from 9am and after 1pm on Sundays in the summertime. 

3. Sheringham 

This England Top 100 stalwart is a clifftop links course steeped in history, with fantastic views and fast, flawless greens. If you want thrills and views, you’ll love it.

4. Thetford 

Strong affection for this fast-running course, carved through the famous forest. Great variation of holes that require good shot making. Good bunkering, accuracy, and distance control are needed to score well.

5. Royal Norwich 

Recently relocated to 10 miles west of Norwich, the Ross McMurray (European Golf Design) course provides a ‘tour’ experience, with large sloping greens. The micro-brewery in the clubhouse is a nice bonus!

RELATED:  Best Golf Courses in Britain and Ireland

6. Royal Cromer 

An undulating course overlooking the North Sea. Clifftop in style with gorse and well-bunkered greens.

7. Kings Lynn

A Peter Allis and Dave Thomas design that winds through a silver birch forest. Accuracy and shot length control from the tee are critical for scoring well.

8. Swaffham

Norfolk’s little secret. A good test in parkland framed by mature trees, but with a sandy heathland feel. Great greens.

RELATED: Best Golf Courses in Devon

9. Great Yarmouth & Caister 

Fast-running links with gorse and good bunkering. A constant test. Entwined within the racecourse, adding further interest.

Located close to Norwich city centre, this attractive parkland focuses on the needs of golfers in equal measure with the abundance of wildlife and natural habitat.

RELATED: Best Golf Resorts in Britain and Ireland

11. Barnham Broom (Valley)

The senior of the two courses played along the Yare River Valley, the Valley is a parkland with plenty of water to navigate. Plenty of elevation and picturesque views. 

12. Bawburgh

Located six miles west of Norwich, Bawburgh has a parkland style on an undulating landscape with great views over the Yare Valley.

13. Heacham Manor 

A resort-style course on the edge of Hunstanton, its holes are influenced by the Heacham River and four lakes.

The stand-out 7th is a visual delight. Good greens and a brand-new clubhouse offer excellent views over the course. The perfect Norfolk base.

RELATED:  Best Golf Courses in Kent

14. Richmond Park 

A parkland of two different nines. The longer front nine offers a great opportunity to open the shoulders, with accuracy and placement a must as you play yourself back to the excellent New England-style clubhouse.

15. Wensum Valley (Wensum) 

The longer of the two courses here, it has hosted EuroPro events. Playing over lakes bordering the River Wensum, it’s a real challenge to play to your handicap.

RELATED:  Best Golf Courses in Surrey

16. Ryston Park 

A delightful nine-hole parkland meandering through the mature trees, always very presentable and easy walking. 

17. Dereham

Super nine-hole parkland in the heart of the county. Each hole has a second set of tees to create variation and interest.

18. Dunston Hall 

Offers great variation in a parkland setting. Water features and large undulating greens are the test.

19. Sprowston Manor 

With large USGA greens and a variety of water features, the 18-hole course provides a good test with plenty of tee choices.

20. Wensum Valley (Valley)

Features tree-lined fairways where accuracy is key to finding undulating greens.

21. Barnham Broom (Hill)

A fun test that is well drained and playable throughout the winter.

Best Golf Courses In Norfolk

Spearheaded by two much-loved Top 100 favourites, the best golf courses in Norfolk serve up an impressive array of top-quality links and inland golf

Best Golf Courses in Norfolk

Norfolk is known for its northern coastline and its Broads, and is actually one of the largest counties in England. Despite that, it has a relatively low number of golf courses for its size. Happily, including two of the best and most popular links in the Golf Monthly Top 100 golf course rankings , what it lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for with its quality. This introduction to the best golf courses in the county begins with its two best-known golfing hotspots. Actually, hotspot is probably not the right word as each is all the better for its relative seclusion and unspoilt setting.

Royal West Norfolk

The beautifully isolated terrain at Royal West Norfolk is atmospheric and haunting

• Location Brancaster
• Founded 1892
• Architect Holcombe Ingleby
• GF Contact club for details
• Par 71, 6,457 yards
• Contact Royal West Norfolk Golf Club

Royal West Norfolk, also known as Brancaster, is a classic links and also very much one of a kind. It is a traditional out-and-back routing that is timeless, atmospheric and teeming with character. When the wind is up, it is a supreme test, and even in benign conditions, there is much to consider. The back-to-back par 5s at 7 and 8 are a real highlight, but there is just so much more on offer here. Two things are important when considering a visit to Brancaster. One is that this is a 2-ball/foursomes club and the green fees are priced accordingly. The other, something of a blessing and a curse, is that the approach road is tidal and the club is occasionally inaccessible. The water level also has an effect on the appearance and to a degree the playability of parts of the course, primarily at the far end.

The short sixteenth at Hunstanton is very well protected by a sextet of bunkers

• Location Hunstanton
• Founded 1891
• Architect James Braid, Martin Hawtree
• GF £125 Singles, £60 Foursomes
• Par 72, 6,741 yards
• Contact Hunstanton Golf Club

The outstanding links at Hunstanton is a serious championship test that has hosted many important amateur events including the 1967 PGA Championship before the tournament moved to its Wentworth home. Martin Hawtree has made relatively recent improvements that are totally in keeping with its heritage. Unusually for a links, you change direction on almost every tee from the 4th onwards. This is very much a golfer’s golf course; testing, fair, and most importantly, enormous fun. It is also situated along a beautiful, spacious and pleasingly diverse expanse of the north Norfolk coastline.

The par-4 fifth at Sheringham is a wonderful hole along the clifftop

• Location Sheringham
• Architect Tom Dunn
• GF Round: £65-£110 Sun-Fri
• Par 70, 6,251 yards
• Contact Sheringham Golf Club

This absolutely lovely clifftop course offers a fine and testing contrast to Norfolk’s premier league links. Holes three to seven run closest to the edge, and from all over the course there are terrific elevated vantage points that provide panoramic views. The closing four holes are flanked by the North Norfolk Railway, where a slice and a northerly wind make for a very bad combination. If you keep the ball straight, this is an absolutely delightful place for golf. Actually, even if you don’t, it still is!

Sitting on top of the coast, this very pretty course is great fun and a real pleasure to play. There are sensational views, plenty of elevation changes and great natural beauty. It is also a quite unusual and therefore engaging mixture of clifftop, parkland and downland… with a hint of links thrown in. Old Tom Morris was responsible for two sets of major revisions to the layout, since when plenty more has changed, partly due to erosion on the cliffs. This is an entertaining, scenic and very well-maintained course.

Royal Norwich

The short seventeenth on the new course at Royal Norwich is a real beauty

• Location Weston Longville, Norwich
• Founded 1893
• Architect Ross McMurray
• GF £100-£130, check website for details
• Par 73, 6,763 yards
• Contact Royal Norwich Golf Club

A literally groundbreaking move by Royal Norwich three years ago saw the club relocate from their old home near the city centre. Funded by the sale of their James Braid course for housing, they took over the site of Weston Park Golf Club and commissioned Ross McMurray of European Golf Design to create something special. The result is an extremely attractive and varied course that runs over easy-walking turf between magnificent trees over the expansive estate. Along with state-of-the-art clubhouse and practice facilities, and even its own micro-brewery, the course is the star of the show. The design ensures that it can be played and fully enjoyed by golfers of all standards while also having the potential to host a top-level tournament.

Barnham Broom

Barnham Broom is blessed with 36 holes of very enjoyable golf

• Location Barnham Broom, Norwich
• Founded 1977
• Architect Frank Pennink
• GF £35-£85, check with club for details
• Par Valley 72, 6,555 yards - Hill 71, 6,588 yards
• Contact Barnham Broom Golf Club

The Valley Course is one of two at Barnham Broom, roughly 10 miles to the west of Norwich. This is a top-quality golf resort with a 46-room hotel hidden away in the beautiful Norfolk countryside. Ponds, wetlands and even the River Yare come into play at various times, especially on the 3rd, a tough par 4 where it bisects the fairway, and the short 17th. The Frank Pennink design is complemented by the Hill Course that opened some 12 years later and is also very enjoyable but also a little more forgiving. Two fine courses and a lovely hotel, the ideal combination for a short golfing break.

The third hole at Eaton is a super-tough par 4 that suits a right-to-left shape from the tee

• Location Norwich
• Founded 1910
• Architect JH Taylor
• GF £60 Mon-Fri, £70 Weekends
• Par 70, 6,144 yards
• Contact Eaton Golf Club

Despite some later modifications and a handful of new holes, this is very much credited as a JH Taylor design dating back to two years after the club was formed. It is tree-lined and confounds the notion that Norfolk is a totally flat county away from its northern cliffs. This is a thinking golfer’s course where positional play from the tee or on the lay-up is the key to scoring well. There are three par 5s, at the opening hole, the 5th and at the 16th - and a handful of short holes which vary in length from 148 to 185 yards from the white tees. This is a charming course and a very friendly club.

Great Yarmouth & Caister

At Great Yarmouth & Caister, the par-3 seventh is a challenging hole played to a long green

• Location Yarmouth
• Founded 1882
• GF £45 Mon-Fri, £55 Weekends
• Par 70, 6,298 yards
• Contact Great Yarmouth & Caister Golf Club

Originally and unusually opened as a 12- and then 13-holer, it was only a year or two before the course was extended to a full 18. Following the First World War, the town’s racetrack was relocated here which led to a number of course changes in 1921. The racetrack now encompasses the first fairway and holes four to ten. This is an easy-walking, quite rugged and very natural-looking links that offers excellent value for money. Ten of the first eleven holes are par 4s, punctuated by the excellent par-3 7th that borders the racetrack. In contrast, the closing seven feature three more short holes and two long par 5s.

King's Lynn

The par-4 seventeenth at lovely King’s Lynn is a tough right-to-left dogleg

• Location King’s Lynn
• Founded 1923
• Architect Peter Alliss & Dave Thomas
• GF £100 Mon-Fri, £110 Weekends
• Par 72, 6,609 yards
• Contact King’s Lynn Golf Club

Having relocated in the mid-1970s to a site to the north-east of the market town, the heavily tree-lined course at King’s Lynn looks way older than it actually is. This is a very attractive but also demanding course where positional play from the tee is vital. Doglegs abound, but you also need reasonable distance if you hope to make the more difficult par 4s in two. The turf is wonderfully free-draining, and this is a pretty and peaceful place to play with each hole discrete and separate from all others.

Sprowston Manor

The seventh at Sprowston Manor works from right to left beside an attractive pond

• Founded 2003
• Par 71, 6,547 yards
• Contact Sprowston Manor Golf Club

Sprowston Manor was designed by Ross McMurray of European Golf Design and features USGA-specification greens, more than 70 bunkers and a number of ponds, mainly beside the dogleg par-4 7th and between the 11th and 12th. It is situated on the north-eastern outskirts of Norwich, and the accompanying hotel is based in an impressive 16th-century manor house. The easy-walking course has hosted the EuroPro Tour but is equally playable by golfers of all standards.

Nestling in the trees at Swaffham, the green at the par-4 penultimate hole

• Location Swaffham
• Founded 1922
• Architect BK Wilson, Jonathan Gaunt
• GF £50 all week
• Par 71, 6,501 yards
• Contact Swaffham Golf Club

Despite its maturity, the lovely course at Swaffham only made the jump from 9 to 18 holes just over 20 years ago when the club purchased some extra heathland on the outskirts of this market town. The new holes were mainly carved through mature woodland, but they have blended in extremely well resulting in a design that is narrow in places and rewards accurate play from the tee. The course is free-draining and so fully playable and enjoyable throughout the year. It is kept in fine condition and the club is currently celebrating its centenary.

Heather is a beautiful problem at Thetford such as here on the short sixteenth

• Location Thetford
• Founded 1912
• Architect James Braid, Philip Mackenzie Ross and Charles Mayo
• GF £40-£60, check website for details
• Par 72, 6,851 yards
• Contact Thetford Golf Club

The course at Thetford has evolved over 110 years from a pure heathland layout to one that still retains those characteristics but where the holes are now separated by swathes of mature pine, oak and birch. It covers a large acreage on the edge of Thetford Forest Park and is an excellent test of golf, constantly changing direction and serving up something new. Unusually, it opens with two of the four short holes in the first three holes. The greatest challenge comes from half-a-dozen par 4s over 400 yards, even from the yellow tees. The abundant, lovely but punishing heather is a real feature, especially in late summer.

There are, of course, several more very enjoyable courses in Norfolk that are worth seeking out, many of which offer great value for money. This is a peaceful and very rural county where the golf very much reflects its pastoral and off-the-beaten-track nature.
