Hunstanton, Norfolk, England
Hunstanton Golf Club
The only championship links on England's east coast to run along the shoreline in both directions — Hunstanton offers classic seaside golf with sweeping views across The Wash.
About the Course
Hunstanton Golf Club
Hunstanton Golf Club was established in 1891 and is one of the finest links courses on the east coast of England. Designed by George Fernie, the course is unique in that it runs along the shoreline in both directions — creating a layout of great variety and strategic interest, with the wind playing a different role on each nine.
The course plays to 6,735 yards from the championship tees and is characterised by the natural links terrain, the views across The Wash, and Fernie's masterful routing along the shoreline. The design rewards accurate driving and intelligent course management, with the natural dunes, links rough, and sea breezes creating a golf experience of genuine championship quality.
Hunstanton has hosted numerous national championships and is widely regarded as one of the finest links courses in England outside the Open rota. The combination of the world-class golf, the extraordinary coastal setting, and the welcoming club atmosphere creates a golf experience of exceptional quality.

Why It Stands Out
Unique Shoreline Routing
Hunstanton is the only championship links on England's east coast to run along the shoreline in both directions — creating a layout of great variety and strategic interest, with the wind playing a different role on each nine.
Championship Pedigree
Hunstanton has hosted numerous national championships and is widely regarded as one of the finest links courses in England outside the Open rota. Its championship pedigree and consistent conditioning make it a benchmark for east coast links golf.
Views Across The Wash
The course offers sweeping views across The Wash — the great tidal estuary that separates Norfolk from Lincolnshire. The vast skies, the sea, and the natural links terrain create a sense of place that is unique in English golf.
George Fernie Design
The course was designed by George Fernie — one of the most respected golf architects of the late 19th century. His routing along the shoreline creates a series of holes of great variety and challenge, each one a distinctive expression of the Norfolk links landscape.
