Eaton Golf Club

Eaton Golf Club lies on Newmarket Road in the Eaton suburb of Norwich, a mature parkland layout laid out by JH Taylor, the four-times Open champion, in the years after his retirement from competitive golf. The routing mixes several par fives that longer hitters can reach in two shots with par threes of moderate length demanding a precise approach if a score is to be protected, while the par fours vary between short and long, generally rewarding careful thought from the tee. Established tree cover and well-worn fairways give the course a settled, traditional character, and the club has built a reputation locally for balancing golf with the surrounding wildlife and habitat rather than treating the grounds purely as a sporting facility. Being only a short distance from Norwich city centre, the club offers members and visitors an escape into quieter, greener surroundings without needing to travel far out of the city. Norwich itself is one of East Anglia's principal cities, with good road and rail links, making Eaton a practical option for golfers based in or passing through the area. Visitors and societies are welcomed, with online booking available for those wanting to arrange a round in advance.
