Bawburgh Golf Club, set in parkland just outside Norwich, offers two distinct golfing experiences — the full-length 18-hole Valley Course and the shorter 9-hole Manor Course. It’s a flexible venue that suits golfers of all abilities, from those wanting a full competitive round to a quicker introduction to the game.
Valley Course — 18 holes
The Valley Course is Bawburgh’s main championship-length course, winding through parkland with mature trees and varying terrain. It’s a test that rewards thoughtful play and local knowledge, and carries a course rating of 72 from the medal tees.
Manor Course — 9 holes
The Manor Course is a compact 9-hole layout that can be played as a full 18-hole round using a different stroke-index allocation for the second circuit. With four tee options — including a short Blue tee — it’s an accessible option for beginners, juniors and anyone wanting a shorter game.
Useful for hotel guests
With two courses on one site, Bawburgh offers flexibility for groups with mixed abilities or for a golf break where you want variety. Park Hotel Diss gives you a relaxed base to return to, with parking, a bar and a full breakfast before your round.
Getting there from Park Hotel Diss
The club is around twenty-four to twenty-eight miles from the hotel — roughly a half-hour drive into Norfolk towards Norwich. Free parking is available at Park Hotel Diss when you return.
