Founded in 1893 and granted Royal patronage by Queen Victoria, Royal Norwich Golf Club has been part of Norfolk’s golfing heritage for over 130 years. The Championship Course sits just outside Norwich on the Weston Estate, stretching across mature parkland and open countryside. Designed by Ross McMurray and opened by Ian Poulter, the course offers two returning nines across 7,200 yards with five sets of tees, carefully contoured greens and strategic bunkering — a layout that tests skill while remaining enjoyable for every golfer. Visitors are welcome seven days a week, no membership required.

Hole 1 is a tough but inviting opening par 4 that immediately asks golfers to respect the course. It looks playable from the tee, but poor decision-making early can quickly lead to trouble and a difficult start to the round.
