Sheringham Golf Club: Perched on a scenic stretch of cliffs on the Norfolk coast, Sheringham offers wonderful views onto the chilly North Sea, while providing a naturally open environment for an energising and absorbing round of golf.
After a relatively pedestrian start on this out-and-back layout, the course gets into its clifftop stride at the uphill par-4 3rd. The next four holes wander alongside the cliffs for a breathtakingly scenic middle section on the outward nine. The view from the 5th tee is one of the most memorable to be found on an English golf course.
Much of the back-nine occupies slightly flatter terrain, where gorse bushes become the main danger. On the final stretch you play alongside the North Norfolk Railway line, and as with the opening stretch, the dangers for slicers are all to obvious.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and Sundays; no outside visitors on Saturdays.
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap may be requested.

Set on the cliffs in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Sheringham has been the venue for three English Ladies' Championships. It was at Sheringham that Miss Joyce Wethered, the leading British woman golfer of the 1920s and 30s, and later to become Lady Heathcote-Amory, won her first championship at the age of 18.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
