1 Night, 1 Round
Heacham Manor Hotel is a cracking base for a Norfolk golf break, sitting around 10 minutes from the coast and the Norfolk Coast AONB, with King's Lynn only 20 minutes away by car. The main house has real character too, it started life as an Elizabethan manor before a full renovation in 2009 brought it up to modern hotel standards without losing that historic feel.
What you get today is a comfortable, well-finished Norfolk stay with plenty going on after the round, from the spa to a proper AA Rosette restaurant, plus extra leisure facilities close by at the sister resort. The golf course opened alongside the refurbishment in 2009 and quickly picked up a spot in Golf World's Top 100 stay-and-play resorts in the UK and Ireland, so you're getting a proper test without having to travel miles between hotel and first tee.
Who is this for? Anyone after an easy, good-value Norfolk stay-and-play where you can play proper golf, eat well and still have something to do off the course. It suits mixed-ability groups, societies and couples who want a relaxed weekend without the stuffiness of some members' clubs.
Who is it best for? Mid-to-high handicappers and groups with a mix of abilities who'll appreciate the generous fairways off the tee and the variety between links-style front nine and parkland back nine. It's also ideal if you've got a few non-golfers in the party who'll make use of the spa and the nearby leisure resort while you're out playing.

The Heacham Manor Golf Course has two different characters – this is down to its stunning coastal location.
The 18-hole golf course is designed as an American-style links course and incorporates the natural features of the area of important landscape it lies within. It will certainly challenge all levels of golfer. It starts in a parkland style, heading up Redgate Hill through mature and newly planted trees. However this scenery soon changes to a links style with higher mounds, more shrubs and raised sloping greens which really add to the challenge and make for an enjoyable and contrasting round of golf.
At over 6,000 yards from the yellows and with some of the best greens in the area, the golf course provides not only an excellent test of your skill, but is also the perfect location for a round of golf surrounded by stunning scenery.
The course is perfect for all levels of golfer, as there are 5 different sets of tee positions. The back tees will stretch the course out to its championship length of over 7,000 yards, but the front tee boxes means that it can play to around 5,700 yards at its shortest.
A 9 hole course just a stone’s throw away at Searles Leisure Resort can also be used free of charge, as can all of the leisure facilities there.

The hotel has 52 guest rooms, with options ranging from family suites through to deluxe four-poster rooms, all en-suite and finished to a high standard. If you're coming as a society or mixed-ability group, it's the sort of set-up that works well, plenty of room types, good communal spaces and an easy post-round flow from locker room to bar to restaurant.
For downtime, The Mulberry Spa includes a Coyote Spa, steam room, monsoon shower and sauna. The thermal suite is available to residents and can be pre-booked from £10 per person per hour, and there's a solid menu of beauty treatments and alternative therapies if you want to turn your golf break into more of a golf-and-spa weekend. It's a nice option for couples or groups where not everyone wants 36 holes.
You also get access to the facilities at Searles Leisure Resort, about five minutes away by car, which is handy if not everyone in the group wants back-to-back rounds. Expect indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, gym, bars, restaurants and entertainment. It's particularly useful if you're bringing family or non-golfing partners who want their own itinerary.
Food is a real strength here. The Mulberry Restaurant holds an AA Rosette and regularly gets strong feedback from guests. Norfolk produce features heavily, with locally caught fish and seasonal veg, plus meat sourced from respected local estates including Royal Sandringham. Head Chef Dale Hurlimann keeps the menu fresh and the execution consistent, which matters when you're staying a few nights and eating in the same place. There's also a lounge bar and terrace overlooking the course and gardens, ideal for a relaxed drink after your round.
Finally, The Pavilion adds extra space and a more modern golf hub, with a function suite for up to 150, a private entrance and bar, plus a landscaped enclosed garden. It also houses seven suites, a golfer's bar facing a putting green, changing facilities and a pro shop. If you fancy a '19th hole' debrief, the first-floor bar and balcony give you great views back over the course, perfect for post-round analysis and a cold pint.
If you want to build this into a weekend package with guaranteed tee times, include Heacham Manor on your next Norfolk golf break.

We were mental. We went out in the storm took our time got blown around but had a good time greens were done as best as they could due to the weather and fairways were boggy but playable.loved the half way hut for a pee and coffe. Staff were brilliant in the club house as we got soaked and let us.leave our clubs in the room to dry out and let us get changed after they had closed. Thankyou

2nd time back here. Golf course still maturing. Greens were hard to read as speed varied from hole to hole. No real complaints but the fairways needed a cut as some long whispy grass in the middle of some fairways. A real challenge when the wind blows which is why I’ve rated it hard. When no wind it’s average

We are beginners and really enjoyed our first 9 holes on this Course. The wheather was nice btu unfortunately on our second day we had heavy rain and had to stop after 12 holes becaues we were completely wet. We love hole 7 but had to spend quite a lot für donation :-) Thanks for this great place.

Second day was better as they mowed the fairways but first day was a bit rough. First time any of us had played the course which was quite long as it was quite a walk from green to next tee at times.
