Eaton Golf Course
August 20, 2008 · Print This Article
Eaton Golf Course, located off the A11 Newmarket Road in Norwich, was founded in 1910, and sits just two miles from the city centre. It is a member’s club and has been referred to as the ‘hidden gem’ in the golfing community. This 18 hole course is known as one of the finest England has to offer and it is highly accessible from anywhere in the country.
The golf course plays 6,118 yards (par 70) for men, and 5,562 yards (par 72) for the women. It is a challenging course through beautiful and lush parkland. Each fairway is lined with foliage, making the shot off the tee demanding and needing to be accurate. Otherwise, the player may be in the rough for some time trying to get out. It is a tight track and any golfer who claims that Norfolk is flat probably has not played at Eaton.
The golf course hosts a variety of regional and county championship golf tournaments and they offer a club house and restaurant with some of the finest foods in the area overlooking the 1st, 10th, and 18th fairways. The greens fees are reasonable and have rates for both adults and juniors. If players are interested, they can pay a little extra and enjoy a meal after their eighteen holes. Weekend rates are slightly higher and the club offers a temporary membership. The pro shop is PGA qualified and lessons are available for an additional fee including ‘playing lessons’ where the player actually plays Eaton’s first nine holes with the professional instructor watching and analyzing their game.
