King's Lynn Golf Club

Kings Lynn is a charming heathland course (plenty of heather, pine and birch) that drains well. We played after weeks of rain and there was very little casual water and none in the bunkers we saw. Overall the course was in very good condition, although understandably the greens were medium paced. The pro and clubhouse were welcoming and friendly. Along with Hunstanton, Brancaster and Sheringham it makes up a great group of courses to play if you are in the area, the first two being in Division 1 and the last two perhaps in Division 2. At the twilight rate (£30 after 3pm) KL is very good value. Apart from the par 3s and the 17th the holes lack variety, being variations on a theme (slight dogleg with one bunker at the elbow), but it is a good theme and will test the straightness of your drive. I’m not sure planting a birch in the middle of the 7th fairway is a good idea, Colt called trees an obnoxious form of hazard, but it’s not my course. I suppose it breaks up the “variations on a theme”. I always enjoy playing Kings Lynn and would come back anytime.
