Royal West Norfolk is a delightful classic links course with over a 100 years of history behind it. It is also rumoured that the Royal family have enjoyed a few rounds on the course through the years, so consider it nothing short of a privilege to play. The course requires great accuracy at all times and is certainly not for the faint hearted. It boasts huge, deep sleeper faced bunkers and also requires a number of long, straight drives which must avoid trouble left and right. You also have to avoid a flooded creek on certain holes. Wedged between Brancaster Bay and the neighbouring salt marshes, the course's character is inherently linked to the tide - in fact, during high tide, Royal West Norfolk becomes an island! The homeward stretch is slightly shorter than the outward nine but is usually played into a strong westerly gale.
