Norfolk Links Mixed Pairs

Sheringham Golf Club is a golfing experience like no other—dramatically perched atop the cliffs of the North Norfolk coast, where every swing comes with a view and every step feels like a journey through time. Carved across rolling coastal terrain between the crashing waves of the North Sea and the nostalgic tracks of the North Norfolk Railway, Sheringham’s fairways are framed by the sound of steam trains and the scent of sea air.

Founded in 1891 and set within an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sheringham’s charm lies in both its heritage and its challenge. Legendary course architect Tom Dunn originally laid out nine holes, returning in 1898 to shape it into the thrilling 18-hole masterpiece it is today. The 5th hole is a showstopper—hugging the cliff edge with the sea lying ominously to the right and a railway line just beyond the gorse, it’s a hole that demands nerve and precision. This is links golf at its raw, exhilarating best. Sheringham has hosted numerous top-tier tournaments, including the prestigious English Women’s Amateur Championship—three times, no less.

Just along the coast lies another jewel: Hunstanton Golf Club, one of Britain & Ireland’s most celebrated championship links courses. Rated consistently in the ‘Top 100’, this east coast classic delivers an unforgettable blend of beauty, tradition, and test. Founded in 1891 and nestled within a wild, windswept landscape of dunes and shimmering links grasses, Hunstanton is a place where time stands still—and your golf game is tested like never before.

It’s the only course on England’s east coast where the sun sets into the sea, casting golden light across its legendary ‘out and back’ layout. Running along a central dune spine, the routing reaches its crescendo with the 12th, 13th and 14th—three striking holes that play across the ridge and etch themselves into memory. Over its storied 125-year history, Hunstanton has hosted over forty national events, including twelve British & English Ladies Amateur Championships, five Brabazon Trophies and three English Amateur Championships. The greens here are immaculate, fast, and fiercely protected—earning the envy of even the most discerning links traditionalists.

For a truly luxurious base, Briarfields Hotel in nearby Titchwell is the perfect escape. Recently awarded the Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice Award and ranked among the top 10% of hotels worldwide, this boutique hideaway is a coastal sanctuary. Overlooking the vast Norfolk skies and the tranquil Titchwell salt marshes, Briarfields offers peace, privacy, and understated luxury. Its 22 stylishly appointed rooms come with sleek en-suite bathrooms and flatscreen TVs, designed for total comfort after a day on the links.

Whether you’re chasing the thrill of championship golf or seeking a serene seaside retreat, Sheringham and Hunstanton offer a golfing getaway that stirs the soul.
