Royal Norwich - 10th July

143 enthusiastic golfers took on the challenging Royal Norwich Golf Club in fantastic condition. Everyone was quick to notice how soft the fairways were playing with the greens starting to firm up , which left many people finding it hard to score! The weather was perfect for scoring and everyone left great reviews of all facilities on offer at the club.

Royal Norwich Golf Club was founded on 8th November 1893 and The Duke of York (later King George V) conferred the club’s royal title in a letter to Mayor A. R. Chamberlain the following day. The original course was located in Hellesdon, a mere two miles from Norwich city centre, and James Braid made significant alterations to this layout when additional land became available in 1924.

Over time, the course became hemmed in by the ever-expanding city – and crossing the main road that split the course in two meant taking your life into your hands – so a decision was made to sell the property to a national house builder and relocate to the site of the former Weston Park Golf Club where a new 24-hole complex – designed by European Golf Design and built by contractors MJ Abbott – was opened in September 2019 by Ian Poulter
