Par 66s get unfairly dismissed by golfers chasing length, but Links Country Park at Cromer on the North Norfolk coast makes a strong case for the short game. The course sits within the grounds of a Victorian hotel perched on the clifftops above the North Sea, and the combination of coastal exposure and genuine links turf means that even a layout with plenty of par 3s and short par 4s demands real shot-making. Wind off the sea can turn a benign-looking hole into something considerably more searching, and the firm, fast conditions typical of links ground reward the player who thinks rather than simply swings hard.
Cromer itself is one of Norfolk's most characterful seaside towns — Victorian architecture, a working pier, and a coastline that stretches toward Sheringham and the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The broader area has a legitimate links golf tradition, with Sheringham and Royal Cromer among the region's well-regarded courses.
For visitors staying in the hotel, the appeal is obvious: walking out to the first tee from a Victorian clifftop retreat, with the North Sea laid out beyond, is a setting that compensates handsomely for any modesty in the par count.
