Green Fees in Norfolk: What Golf Costs in 2026

The short answer

Budget 175 to 235 pounds for each of the two headline links and well under half that for everything else. Royal West Norfolk, the tidal marsh masterpiece at Brancaster, publishes a card of 185 pounds for a weekday single and 235 at weekends, and because it is a two ball club where foursomes is the house game, a foursomes round costs just 125 to 155 pounds a head. Hunstanton, its great rival across the dunes, is 175 pounds from April through October 2026, 120 in winter, and 75 pounds for summer foursomes.

The rest of the county is where the budget recovers. Royal Cromer's clifftop course peaks at 110 pounds midweek and 125 at weekends, Sheringham runs around 135 in summer, and the inland courses are friendlier still: King's Lynn at 100 pounds, Royal Norwich around 130 with a 100 pound weekday package that includes lunch, Barnham Broom's two resort courses from 60 to 85 pounds in the morning, Eaton in Norwich from 50 to 100 by time of day, and Thetford's James Braid heathland at 60 to 75 pounds. A week in Norfolk with both marquee links and three supporting rounds can land near 600 pounds in green fees, which for golf of this class is one of the best deals in England.

When Norfolk fees peak and dip

The calendar runs on two seasons. April to October is the peak almost everywhere: Hunstanton's 175 pound rate covers that whole stretch, Royal Cromer charges its top card from May to September with April and October as a cheaper mid season, and the inland courses switch to summer pricing from April 1. From November to March the coast gets dramatically cheaper, Hunstanton at 120 pounds, Cromer at 80 to 85, Sheringham around 90, and Norfolk's free draining coastal turf keeps winter golf genuinely playable when much of England is on mats.

August is the month that catches people out. Brancaster takes no visitors at all during August, when the village and the tide road to the clubhouse are at their busiest, and Hunstanton stops accepting county cards for the month. Both clubs also reserve large parts of the week for members, Hunstanton keeps Wednesdays and most of Saturday for members and Cromer holds the tee until mid morning, so a Norfolk itinerary is built around the visitor windows, not around your preferred tee time.

How to pay less

Play foursomes on the coast. This is the single biggest lever in Norfolk and almost nobody from outside England uses it: Brancaster's foursomes rate is 125 pounds midweek against 185 as a single, and Hunstanton's is 75 pounds against 175. The clubs actively prefer the format, the rounds take barely three hours, and two alternate shot rounds cost less than one single round. Second, use twilight: King's Lynn drops to 70 pounds after 3pm in summer, Eaton to 50 or 60 after 4pm, Thetford to 30 after 4pm and Barnham Broom to 30 in the evening, and in midsummer Norfolk daylight runs past 9pm.

Third, the county card. If you belong to a participating club, a Norfolk county card pays 50 pounds at King's Lynn, 75 at Royal Cromer on weekday afternoons in high season and reduced rates at Barnham Broom and Thetford, routinely a 30 to 50 percent saving. And if your dates are flexible, simply come in winter: the links stay open on real greens, the courses are empty, and the marquee rounds cost roughly two thirds of the summer card.
