Royal Cromer Golf Club
145 Overstrand Road, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 0JH
Situated between the seaside towns of Cromer and Overstrand on the north east corner of Norfolk, 6km along the coast from Sheringham Golf Club and jutting out into the North Sea, Royal Cromer Golf Club stands some 320 feet above Cromer's beautiful sandy beaches and is backed by a varied and pleasant hinterland of rolling wooded and bracken covered hills. The area was popularised by London journalist Clement Scott who named the district Poppyland from the abundance of that attractive flower that grows here.
Designed originally by Tom Morris with later improvements made by J H Taylor and James Braid, the current Frank Pennick design has been constructed out of hummocky, sandy hills covered with gorse and bracken and seamed with grassy valleys, it is a tidy caringly kept Golf Course and a model of what good greenkeeping ought to be.
The Club was granted its Royal patronage by HRH Edward Prince of Wales on Christmas Day 1887, the formal opening taking place on 2nd January 1888. In the past it has been visited by the likes of Peter Allis, Tony Jacklin and more recently Nick Price.
Whether you play on a calm, peaceful summer day, or during the cold winter months, Royal Cromer offers a challenge to players of all abilities. Regarded as one of Norfolk's finest it is renowned for its friendly atmosphere and all visitors are made to feel very welcome.
