Welcome Welcome to Royal Cromer Golf Club, which was founded in 1888, and has just celebrated its 125th anniversary. The Club has a very rich history with royalty, major literary figures and politicians, as well as top golfers, numbered amongst its visitors.

our green staff is being recognised both nationally and internationally. When you come to the Club, please do read the Visitor’s Book to see what guests say about us.

We, the members, are especially proud of our course, and are certain that you will enjoy playing it as much as we do.

Every golf club claims a “well stocked shop” but this is particularly applicable to ours. Lee, our professional and his team, Tim and Will, are extremely helpful and keen to sell you something as a memento to remind you of your time with us and make you eager to return.

Originally designed by Old Tom Morris it has spectacular views – with the sea being visible from every hole. In addition, the course has undergone a number of improvements over the years - some necessitated by cliff falls, as the course is perched high on the cliffs on the beautiful North Norfolk coast – and others by design, in order to make it more challenging for all golfers.

Henri, our talented chef, always provides some interesting dishes of the day as well as the traditional staples, all of which are to an exceptionally high standard, and can be enjoyed in either our bar or restaurant.

These are exciting times at Royal Cromer Golf Club. We have invested heavily in the course over the last few years, and the tremendous work undertaken by

All of these elements, combined with the warmth of our staff and the friendliness of our members, add up to why we believe Royal Cromer Golf Club is the “Best Golfing Experience in Norfolk”.

Opening of the clubhouse in 1888

History After 125 years of tending to the golfing needs of the Norfolk area, our club still provides the same experience and enjoyment for all members and visitors, in our picturesque surroundings.

Between the World Wars, Club President Lord Suffield waived the annual rent in order for the club to survive during the uncertain economic times of the period.

Founded in 1888, and designed by Tom Morris, the Royal Cromer Golf Club was immediately given Royal status through the patronage of the, then, Prince of Wales, who would later become more commonly known as King Edward VII.

In 1976, the club was able to purchase the land, thanks in large to the generosity of the Harbord family, and the present layout has been in place since 1979.

The land for the original nine holes, which was the full course at the time, was rented from the Suffield family at the time.

Old Tom Morris was invited back in 1891 to advise on the changes the club was making to make it one of the finest of its kind in the country and to prepare the way to extend the course to 18 holes.

Since its inception, Royal Cromer Golf Club has received visitors from all over the world. These include major literary and political figures, royalty and, of course, top golfers such as Tony Jacklin, who chose the 14th as one of his best ever holes.

Following the Ladies British Open Championship in 1905, held at Royal Cromer Golf Club, it was here that the idea for the Curtis Cup was first conceived.
