Condition
The course is in such good condition considering the time of year and the weather we have been having in Norfolk, I have played there many times but it was a first time for my guests and they really enjoyed the day, we had a lovely Blt before we went out and that was soo goo too,
Thank you to all the staff who were so friendly and welcoming from the pro shop to the waiting staff.
Thanks again
Lovely course
Lovely course. Well laid out. Fairly thick grass before you get to the fairway and can easily lose a ball. Good facilities in the bar area. Will go back again
Should be the best facility in the area
Played both courses a number of times. Both courses are always well priced whether through golf now or direct. Both courses challenging in their own right. Wensum is a little longer and the recent changes make it a better course to play overall when the stretch around the water used to be almost impossible to play.
The big downfalls this course have at the moment are the courses in general, in particular the greens. They are in poor condition. given the weather this year and the great condition of other courses in the area this course is lagging behind significantly. The next big let down is the driving range. The balls are over way overpriced in general, The condition of the balls are an embarrassment. so many with gashes/chunks out of them. The mats are poor. No sign of Trackman or more modern facilities most ranges provide. It's quite frankly the worst driving range i've ever hit on which given the size of the facility is baffling.
The setting of these courses and the facility in general should be the envy of the county....it's not. It's such a shame. I don't think it takes a great imagination or investment to make this facility what it could be and i hope to see someone do it sooner rather than later. I can't wait to think £25 per round is good value and not the £12 paid this time.
Value for money
For the price it was an absolute steal!
Great course, condition was good considered the dry patch we’ve had, greens ran true
There was a women match out ahead of me but I was hardly held up at all
Highly recommended especially at the price you get from here
Overbooked
Sadly we had a ridiculously slow round this week. 4 hours 47 minutes for a compact and relatively short course. As a Hotel / Golf Course complex they had clearly booked several large groups and set them off too close together. 8 minute intervals for these is too little.
Greens were also bumpy and needed some TLC.
We've played this course in the winter and had a positive experience.
My comment would be best avoided during the peak summer period.
Fantastic course shame about the golf club and players
We had lovely weather to enjoy a golf course in fantastic condition but we felt let down by the pro shop as we arrived and checked in (course quite) we were not told that a group of five (a group of three followed by a group of two which all knew each other) were ahead of us just that a tee off just before us then we could go (we had waited 20 mins for the tee off before us to sort themselves out ) we were also not informed that we had been paired up to make a four ball
So we started are round driving off the first to then be informed that we has two other people on our tee off time
The five golfers before us never offered to let us through making a very slow round with each person playing the own game and not playing together meaning on a few occasions we believed the hole was free forbus to take a shot because a player on yhe green had left to go to next hole only a minute or so the other playing to walk onto the green
Undulating well kept challenging.
Undulating course challenging at times. well kept. friendly staff. greens very fast today and extremely tricky. Miss that hole by a inch and because of the slope you could be 15ft past. Great day out for the four of us.will go again.
Unreal when you have the entire course to yourself and don't see anyone else for 18 holes for just £10 and a great course
Monday round on teh Valley course
The course was in good condition for the time of year. Some winter tees and one winter green. There were few playing as it was cold and windy. However when the sun was out it was great. The course has its challenges for a game with interest but allows less proficient players the chance too.
Great coarse.
Great coarse. Greens a little hard but overall, a really lovely place to ruin a nice walk
