Royal Cromer Golf Club

Royal Cromer stands some 320 feet above Cromer's beautiful sandy beaches and is backed by a varied and pleasant hinterland of rolling wooded and bracken covered hills. The area was popularised by London journalist Clement Scott who named the district 'Poppyland' from the abundance of the attractive Poppy flower which grows here.

Originally designed by Old Tom Morris, with later improvements made by JH Taylor and James Braid, the current Frank Pennick design has been constructed out of hummocky, sandy hills covered with gorse and bracken and seamed with grassy valleys, it is a tidy caringly kept course and a model of what good greenkeeping ought to be.
