If wanting to be that side of the county, then would look more towards Hunstanton or some of the smaller villages around at a little BandB or just grab your own AirBnB somewhere.
If staying that way, then Brancaster and Hunstanton should be top of the list
I would also throw in Woodhall Spa. An hour away from Kings Lynn. 60th ranked course in the wold, 20th in the UK and can be played for less than £80.
Conditioning is better than it has been in years.
Played all through that area. You have a great list. If you add Woodhall Spa, I would add Ganton too.
The north Norfolk coast is known as The Champagne Coast due to the long stretches of silvery sand and is really nice. It effectively starts at Thornham and goes to Salthouse. Hunstanton to the west of that and Sheringham / Cromer to the east are fine but a very different vibe. Think Cotswolds versus Bognor. All the villages and towns along there are lovely and full of guest houses, boutique hotels and AirBnBs.
The small towns of Burnham Market, Wells-Next-The-Sea and Holt are all lovely. Blakeney is smaller but very cute. The villages I like are Burnham Overy Staithe, Morston and Cley. The Holkham Hall estate is bangin too.
Hotels would be the Lifeboat Inn (Thornham), Hoste Arms (Burnham Market), The Victoria (Holkham), and the Blakeney Hotel.
Golf there is Brancaster (my favourite course in the world), Hunstanton and just along the coast is Sheringham. Cromer is not far. Brancaster and Hunny are a significant step above the rest but Sherry & Cromer are still a lot of fun. Worly is interesting, though difficult to get into and a drive from up there. Gogs isn’t worth any kind of effort.
Norfolk also where @The_Cad_Says and I first played golf together.
And I hit ‘that chip’ which I will never live down
I’m going to scratch a diagram onto your headstone…
Tee times booked for Hunstanton and Woking. Probably try to fit in another one off round, possibly Thetford based on my schedule.
Why Woking?
I am willing to be talked out of it, but everything I have seen here is positive and I was able to get a tee time the morning before I fly out.
What day are you playing it?
Woking is a nice track with lots of history, but, we have had a shit ton of rain over the last few weeks and more forecast this weekend. Everything is wet in Surrey and it will only get worse over the next few days.
I just don’t want you wasting £100+ to squelch around.
Not playing until next Wednesday. Hoping it is able to dry out at least some.
Good luck!
Did you manage to get out?
I wasn’t able to make it out do to a schedule change. Enjoyed my two other rounds a ton though.
I have been looking at Royal Norfolk since starting this contract in Peterborough.
They make it very easy to understand how to play. Still would like to however.
Royal Norwich or Royal West Norfolk?!
Royal west apologies for ever confusion.
Other suggestions and invites welcomed.
@JBirkby greatest minds
Royal West Norfolk is colossal.
Evening all, would love to get involved with the uk folks, play a lot in the surrey area, looking forward to getting to know some golf sickos!
