Heacham Manor is the only hotel on the North Norfolk Coast with an 18-hole Championship Golf Course. Set within an area of Important Landscape Quality, the vista to be enjoyed here is as good as the golf.
Wonderfully, this new course offers a mix of two distinct characters born from its natural topography. It begins in a parkland style playing up Redgate Hill through established and newly planted trees and soon changes to more of a links style with greater mounding, more shrub planting and raised undulating greens adding to the challenge.
The front nine remains predominately links style with three large lakes to negotiate. The first and second lakes are linked by a winding stream fed from a weir that protects the front of the short par 3 fifth hole. The third and largest lake provides the setting for the signature 7th hole. Also a par 3, the hole requires a well struck shot to carry the 100 yards of water fronting the green.
The next few holes return to a parkland setting with excellent views of The Wash afforded from the 14th tee. The eleventh also incorporates the large lake, which challenges you to take on the green with your second shot.
The 15th plays from an elevated tee down towards the Hotel and in full view of the Lounge Patio and conservatory.
The final 3 holes cross the Heacham River providing a good test at the end of the round. The 18th hole is a reachable par 5, but beware the Ringstead River on the left waiting to catch any errant approaches.
The Course is designed for players of all standards, with the introduction of 5 sets of tee positions. The championship tee will play a course over 7,000 yards whereas the blue junior tees will measure around 5,700 yards.
Looking to brush up or improve? The PGA Professional Ray Stocker is available for individual lessons or golf tuition breaks.
For the future, plans are underway to construct a Heacham Manor Golf Clubhouse and Conference Suite, which will overlook the 18th green and provide further exceptional facilities for players pre and post round.
Hotel guests and non-members are welcome, but if you want to take advantage of the superb facilities on a regular basis, why not take a Heacham Manor Golf Membership? Allowing daily access to the golf course, use of the country club and hotel facilities (with discounted food and drink in the hotel restaurant) and invitations to social events held throughout the year, among other perks, it’s well worth a look.
