Welcome Thetford Golf Club is acknowledged as one of the finest courses in East Anglia and now that it is owned by the members there are exciting times ahead. The purchase of the Club from the Crown Estate was completed on September 19, 2017 and means all future investments will be exclusively for the benefit of the Club and its members. The Club is situated in The Brecks, an area of ancient heathland on the Norfolk-Suffolk border. The adjoining Thetford Forest gives a backdrop of towering firs with heather and gorse providing a traditional golfing environment. Free-draining sandy soils ensure play is possible throughout the year with winter conditions as good as any in the country. That is why the founding fathers chose the site of the course in 1912 – and for more than 100 years golfers have benefited from that decision. We are proud of our reputation as a friendly Club and visiting golfers can expect a warm welcome in our comfortable clubhouse. A well-stocked bar and first-class home-cooked food provide the perfect accompaniment to your round of golf. Improved road systems have made the Club more accessible and we are a popular venue for national and county events. We are always delighted to host Championships and matches involving the Norfolk County Golf Union (NCGU) and the Norfolk Ladies County Golf Association (NLCGA) for all age groups from juniors to seniors. In addition we hold regular Winter ProAms which are always popular with professionals from across the region who relish the chance to play on a relatively dry course over the wettest periods of the year.
CLUB PRESIDENT RICHARD GOODENOUGH I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member here for more than 40 years and have been honoured to serve as Captain, President and Trustee. You are always assured of a warm welcome from everybody at Thetford Golf Club. As owners we are now embarking on an exciting new chapter for the Club. I look forward to welcoming all golfers as they experience the delights of playing on our wonderful course.
