Our take

Wind off the North Sea is the whole examination at Sheringham, a clifftop links defended by pot bunkers rather than raw length.

• Serious golfersPar 70 looks gentle on paper until the sea wind gets up, which it does most days. Pot bunkers punish anything loose, and the 2nd and 7th wreck plenty of cards before the round has properly started.
• Higher handicapsTake two extra clubs into the wind and swallow your pride early. There is a fair bit of climbing along the clifftop too, around 125 metres over the round, so it is a walk that earns the lunch.
• Buddy tripsProper clifftop links golf with the North Sea below and a traditional clubhouse for the post-round argument. Runs naturally alongside Royal Cromer and Hunstanton on a Norfolk coast itinerary.
