Great Yarmouth & Caister Golf Club: set back from the sea and with a front-nine largely contained within the bounds of Great Yarmouth racecourse (horse-racing), here you'll find a pure links golf course, albeit without too many full on sea views.
Linking Gt Yarmouth at the course's southern end, with Caister-on-Sea at the top end, for most of your front-nine you'll be playing inside the boundary rails of the racetrack. The opening short-4 will certainly get your attention, with two carries over the race track en route to the small circular green. On two occasions (at 2 and 3, and 17 and 18), the layout darts inland, only to return to the racetrack just as quickly on the returning hole.
Perhaps not the best known of England's seaside links courses, but one that has all the ingredients to test your game to the full in an eclectic seaside setting. Worth a visit if you are planning a trip to the East Anglian coast.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends .
Must book in advance.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.
The once flourishing seaside town of Great Yarmouth was previously a centre for East Anglia's herring fishing industry, before becoming the heart of the oil & gas industry for England's southern gas basin in the North Sea. These two former key industries brought considerable wealth to Yarmouth, as well as cultural and heritage influences from northwest Europe.
