Set in 350 acres of Norfolk countryside, Wensum Valley Golf and Country Club is an easy, fuss-free option for a UK golf break, with three courses on-site and a hotel you can walk back to after your round. Better still, you're only about 15 minutes from Norwich and within easy reach of the Norfolk coast if you fancy a change of scenery.
The star billing goes to the Wensum Course, a PGA EuroPro Tour host that asks you to plot your way around proper parkland golf. Trees tighten up the driving lines, water comes into play at the wrong moments and the bunkering is placed to catch anything slightly lazy. If you're travelling with mixed handicaps, the Valley Course is the friendlier option, with more breathing space from the tee and a layout that still rewards decent iron play. There's also a nine-hole loop for a warm-up, a quick extra spin, or settling any post-dinner grudge matches.
Off the course, you've got a solid leisure set-up including an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym, plus fishing and clay shooting for groups who want more than just 36 holes and a pint. All in, it's a strong pick for societies, pairs and corporate groups who want variety, comfort and straightforward logistics.
