What the club says: Sheringham Golf Club was formed in 1891 as a nine hole course, which was extended in 1898 to a full eighteen holes. The course is laid out on the west side of the town on a strip of rolling, gorse-clad clifftop that lies between the preserved North Norfolk Railway and the North Sea. Noted for its long par 4 holes it is a severe test of players' ability, especially when the wind blows!

A tough challenge

This was the first course on our trip and on a windy day it was a tough challenge. Glad we had buggies and it can be steep, and they give you more time to find your ball on a typical links course. Greens were fast and deceptive. Really enjoyed it. Bonus is the steam train line running alongside the course!

Best Course in Noth Norfolk

Superb cliff top course, suits all skills, with wonderful greens offering spectacular sea and countryside views. Brilliant in the sun with the sea breeze to encourage a good swing!

Wait till you get to the fourth

To be frank the first three holes here aren't that special. But just hold your nerve until you get to the fourth. From that point on it's stunning all the way home.
The long par fours, are beautiful and brutal in equal measure, especially into the wind.
There's truly a stunning 200 yard, downhill par three that most won't reach with a driver if the wind is up to less than a breeze.
The views of the course and the coast line are fabulous. The fairways are pretty generous in the most part and the greens were in excellent condition.
The clubhouse is large and comfortable, and the welcome couldn't be warmer.
They obviously have a different view of what a "light lunch" is in this part of the world because, not only was it very tasty, it was huge!
Definitely one on the play again list.

A course with plenty of history to be read about in their 2019 brochure and by the fascinating photographs in the clubhouse. Most of the holes hold plenty of interest and challenge. Every aspect of the course is well maintained and members make you welcome.

Brilliant golfing experience!

Stunning cliff-top course with the North Sea to one side and North Norfolk Railway steam trains to the other. Been looking forward to playing it for ages and wasn't disappointed. Nary a flat lie to be found and a wonderful variety of holes. Not a long course, but many holes look further because of the open views. Very much a traditional golf-club, but with a warm welcome to visitors. The fifth tee could be a tourist attraction in its own right!

The third leg of our trip brought us to Sheringham GC. What a delight this course is – a mix of cliff-top and links with some stunning views and holes. We can’t recommend this course enough.
We suspect it’s rated below Hunstanton due to a little golf snobbery – in that it is fairly generous off the tee for the most part, is not true links and is comparatively a tad shorter, but in our view this only adds to its playability. Surely an eminently playable course with stunning scenery is what the average golfer prefers ?! The course has numerous raised tees which always add to the experience and a super mix of holes, notably including 5th, 6th and 10th, all played from raised tees with coastal views-a-plenty. There’s also the local steam train bordering the other side of the course, all adding to the occasion. Similar to our experience at Hunstanton, due to the mini heatwave the course was very firm but the greens again were true and in terrific condition.
We’d highly recommend this course – if you’re thinking of visiting the area then it really should be on your itinerary. If you like your golf challengingly fair with scenery aplenty, then this is a must visit. We paid £60 to pre-book our tee times and were also permitted to play in our preferred 3-ball format, which is sometimes frowned upon at other renowned courses. All-in-all, a terrific venue for a round of golf – and be sure not to forget your camera/phone !

Stunning

I entered the club's annual Seniors Open Competition. Entry fee included coffee, 18 holes, half way house refreshment, a two course meal and coffee. An excellent vfm way to play such a prestigeous course.

The afternoon starters experienced a very slow rate of play especially at the start of the round even with 10 minute tee time intervals. This was the only negative aspect of the golfing day. Competition organisers apologies don't mitigate this.

Amazing

Unbelievable golf course.

Fairways are fairly wide so you can be temped to open up and players that arent as straight will still enjoy this amazing place.
The bunkers are well placed and if you can avoid them off the tee then you will be in a half decent score.
The greens run and run and not a bobble on them,.
I could quite easily play this course every day for the rest of my life.

Beautiful, friendly course

Everyone is so friendly at Sheringham, this is the second time I have played here and both times I have been made very welcome. The course is a joy to play and has a wonderful unspoilt feel with wonderful holes and beautiful views.

Great course, would love to visit again sometime

Went with social club society, had a wonderful breakfast before a fabulous 18 holes on a glorious day, shame the greens had recently been spiked, but hey this has to be done. Excellent meal before the round, and very friendly staff, all in all a most enjoyable day.

Good test when the wind blows

I played in a pairs competition in what I thought was windy conditions at this course on the East Anglian coast. When playing into the offshore breeze the first nine holes were a real test of both golf and temperament. However, despite the wind the course was excellent with breath-taking views from the high points on the course. I shall be back.

Very tough course, open, no flat lies and unforgiving,one of the best links courses around here. Clubhouse and pro shop could do with an upgrade, although the new changing facilities are excellent. ?30 to play 18 holes with two members at 3pm on a weekday feels too much even for such a nice course.
