Weekend Golf Getaways in Norfolk
What To Expect from...
A weekend golf getaway
If you’re craving a proper golfing reset, Barnham Broom makes it easy to turn a couple of rounds into a whole weekend away. You’ve got two 18-hole golf courseson-site, practice facilities, coaching if you fancy it, plus the option to stay over and add dining, spa time or a swim.
Rather than overplanning every minute, it helps to know what’s here and how a weekend tends to flow. Here’s what to expect when you book a golf break at Barnham Broom.
Two courses, two different rounds
Barnham Broom has two 18-hole championship courses, the Pennink Course and the Steel Course, so you can keep your weekend varied without going anywhere else.
- The Pennink Course (formerly the Valley Course) is a par 72 with riverside fairways, mature trees and water features that reward accuracy and smart course management.
- The Steel Course (formerly the Hill Course) is a par 71 with a more open, parkland-style feel, plus elevated tees and undulating greens.
If you’re organising a trip with mixed abilities, having two courses can really help. It lets you balance “challenge” with “enjoyable for everyone”, and it keeps the weekend feeling fresh.
If you like the idea of improving while you’re away (even just a little), coaching is available with PGA-qualified professionals, led by Head Pro Tony Varney.
Options range from quick diagnostics to longer lessons, including playing lessons. It’s a great add-on for beginners who want a confidence boost, and for regular players who’d love to leave with one clear thing to work on.
Practice time that actually helps
A weekend away isn’t the time to show up cold and hope for the best. Our facilities are set up so you can get a proper warm-up in or do a focused session before your round. The golf facilities include a grass driving range, putting green, short-game area and a three-hole academy course.
That’s ideal if you’re travelling with friends and want to arrive, loosen up, and head to the first tee feeling a bit more confident.
One of the best parts of a golf getaway is not having to rush off after your round. Barnham Broom has 46 guest rooms, so you can stay on-site and keep everything simple.
That convenience changes the feel of the trip. You can play, eat, unwind, sleep well, then do it all again without the “we’ve got to be on the road by…” stress.
Food and drink that fits around tee times
When you’re building a golf weekend, meals need to be easy. Barnham Broom has both the Brasserie restaurant and a more relaxed Sports Bar, so you can keep it casual or make a bit more of the evening.
Opening times can vary, so it’s always worth checking the latest before you arrive, but the hotel lists evening dining daily between 6pm and 9pm, and afternoon tea daily (see current times on the website).
Golf might be the main event, but the downtime is what makes it feel like a break. If you want to add recovery time, at the Spa we offer ESPA treatments and spa experiences that include access to facilities via The Edge Health & Fitness Club (including steam room and sauna access).
The Edge facilities include a gym, swimming pool, sauna and steam room. If you’re travelling as a couple or with a group where not everyone wants 36 holes, this is an easy way to make the weekend work for everyone.
So, what does a weekend usually look like?
- Day 1: Arrive, warm up on the range and short-game area, then play your first round.
- Evening: Dinner in the Brasserie or something more relaxed in the Sports Bar.
- Day 2: Second round on the other course, with time for coaching or practice if you want it.
- Optional extras: Add a swim, sauna and steam room session, or book an ESPA treatment to finish strong.
- Final touch: Keep things flexible. The best golf weekends have structure, but not a packed timetable.
