Barnham Broom Golf Hotel & Spa

Nestled within 300 acres of beautiful Norfolk countryside, Barnham Broom Hotel, Golf & Spa is a luxury 4-star resort and one of East Anglia's most popular golf destinations with its 46 stylish, and contemporary bedrooms, and being conveniently located just a short 15-minute drive from the historic city of Norwich, it is the ideal base for exploring the vibrant city and the wider tranquillity of Norfolk.

The resort boasts two championship courses with 36 holes in total, including the premium Valley Course, set along the River Yare, which demands precision with its tree-lined fairways and undulating greens, earning it a tournament pedigree. Complementing this is the contrasting but equally challenging Hill Course, which, while potentially more forgiving than the Valley, requires quality striking to navigate its strategically placed, risky bunkers. The Hill is also open for both Winter and Summer golf.

The resort also features extensive practice facilities, including a fully stocked Golf Shop and a first-class golf school managed by a resident PGA professional.

Beyond the championship golf, guests can indulge in first-class leisure facilities, including The Spa, a tranquil space offering a complete range of professional treatments, and The Edge, a fully equipped fitness centre featuring a state-of-the-art gym, a heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and courts for squash and tennis. A choice of dining completes the luxurious stay, with options ranging from the stylish Brasserie and Bar Lounge for afternoon teas and cocktails, to a more informal Sports Bar, both with extensive menus for any taste.

Blending championship golf with luxurious facilities and a prime location near Norwich offering easy access to wider Norfolk attractions, Barnham Broom is the perfect choice for your next golf break.

Golf Courses at Barnham Broom Golf Hotel & Spa

None

Barnham Broom is home to two superb 18-hole courses and in summer guests can take on the 36-hole golf experience, which ranks top among Norfolk's best golfing destinations.

The resort boasts the contrasting Valley Course, a picturesque and strategic par-72 layout that meanders along the River Yare, featuring water hazards and tree-lined fairways, challenging your precision. The Hill Course is slightly more open, a par-71 parkland course that provides elevated greens, panoramic views, and a different kind of challenge, often considered slightly more forgiving than the Valley Course.

There is also a dedicated short game area, a grass driving range and a five-acre open air grass range. In Summer, the courses are marshalled, and there is even a refreshment buggy on hand with drinks and snacks to make your round even more enjoyable.

Valley Course

The Valley is Barnham Broom’s flagship championship course recognised as the premium Norfolk golf experience, with a notable hole being the demanding 416-yard par-4 3rd, where the River Yare cuts diagonally across the fairway, forcing a critical tee shot and approach.

Opened in 1977 and masterfully designed by renowned architect Frank Pennink, the Par-72 layout measures approximately 6,483 yards from the back tees. The Valley is set along the flowing waters of the River Yare, the course is defined by its picturesque, strategic challenge. The design makes ample use of natural contours, tree-lined fairways, undulating greens, and numerous water features, demanding precision and strategic thinking over raw power.

Hill Course

The Hill Course is characterised by its wide, more open fairways and elevated positions, which provide sweeping views over the Norfolk countryside, the 18 hole course is also playable throughout the winter months. Its elevated nature and rolling terrain make for a true parkland or heathland experience, appealing to a wide range of players.

While often considered slightly more forgiving than its sister course, it is by no means easy, with its links-style influences, including windy conditions and strategically placed bunkers. A notable hole is the Par-5 5th, which starts from an elevated tee, providing an excellent scoring opportunity if players successfully navigate the strategic challenges placed mid-fairway.

Originally designed by Frank Pennink and later revised by renowned golf architect Donald Steel, this Par-71 course measures approximately 6,495 yards from the back tees.
