Sheringham Golf Club

Sheringham Golf Club sits on the North Norfolk coast near the seaside town of Sheringham, occupying elevated clifftop land that provides views over the North Sea. The course was laid out by Tom Dunn in 1891, making it one of the older golf clubs in East Anglia. Dunn, a prolific late-Victorian designer, created a layout that works with the natural contours of the site, incorporating the rolling terrain and coastal exposure that characterize this stretch of the Norfolk coastline. The course measures relatively short by modern standards but plays longer than the card suggests due to the wind that frequently sweeps in from the sea. The routing moves across undulating ground with several holes running along the clifftop, while others turn inland through more sheltered terrain. The land features natural ridges and hollows that influence play, and the design retains much of its original character despite periodic updates over the decades. Sheringham has hosted various regional amateur competitions and remains a well-regarded members' club in the area. The course is known locally for its traditional links characteristics and its position within the broader golfing landscape of Norfolk, which includes several other coastal courses along this part of the English coastline. The club maintains a straightforward, welcoming atmosphere typical of smaller British seaside clubs, with a clubhouse that reflects its Victorian origins.
