Great course let down by staff

Really enjoyed the course some really great hole especially the oar 3’s . Let down by the man working in the pro shop ,seemed uninterested about my questions about the course . I wanted to buy a few things but when I went to the desk he wasn’t there , waited a bit but my tee time was close so just had to leave . A real shame !!

Long but enjoyable 18

Having utilized a few of the deals now for Bawburgh I must say that's it's one of not the best value course near Norwich.

Nice well presented course. Wide fearways and a a fair few long par 5s (a couple over 500 yards) and plenty of long Par 3 and 4#.

Encourages you to get the woods out of the bag! Greens run really well, fast greens.

The only think missing is a driving range, but the nearby family golf center caters for this. There are also nets and a small practice green close to the first tee, to help dust off the cobwebs if needed.

Every hole temporary green.

Booked a round through GolfNow and prior to the round checked the website which stated that the 16th hole was closed which we found fair and appreciated the heads up. We made the trip of just over an hour and to our disappointment found that every hole on the remaining 17 had a temporary green which was not stated anywhere on the bawburgh website. No effort had been made with the temporary greens, just a hole cut into a random section of the fairway. I have emailed the course about the conditions but still not heard anything back, hopefully I receive a reply within the next day or so but I definitely will not be going back anytime soon.

Fantastic course

This course was superb. Wide open fairways & well maintained. A true joy to play. It's rather challenging and the holes are fairly long so if you have issues with mobility or walking, you could find it tricky. Trolley rental was only £5 which was perfect.

So slow!

Sadly only played 15 holes before it got dark, pace was shocking…no idea why it was so packed.

No staff booking people in might have something to do with it, didn’t see anyone in the pro shop an hour before our tee

Course is good but fairways too long and greens very slow, just been sand treated to be fair.

Shame as was looking forward to it

Golf's responsibility to the environment

It it concerning that none of the courses I play show any regard to protecting the environment. It would not take much to provide some areas for wildlife and regeneration of natural habitats. Large land owners should all have a responsibility to provide at least 10% of their land for the regeneration of natural habitats. For golf this should be relatively easy.

Enjoyable round

Had a great time playing this course. You do need you climbing shoes on as there are some very steep inclines. Fairways were parched but no rain in Norfolk for 2 months. Greens were outstanding, pristine, green and consistent. Sat afternoon and the course was busy but after first few holes made steady if not rapid progress.

Super course as ever

Back to Bawburgh again and never disappoints.

Good value for money at £30 for a Sunday , weather was very hot and fairways obviously parched . Greens excellent and true. Plenty of tight fairways lined by ttrees so take your straight game!

Very good clubhouse facilities and overall highly recommended.

Fabulous course and great facilities

Being my first time playing the course I was unsure what to expect. Upon arrival I was greeted by friendly and helpful staff, given all the information I needed to know my way around and how to find the amenities within the clubhouse.

The course is well maintained and in very good condition.

I was welcomed by club members on the tee and asked to join their 3ball which suited me and I had a fabulous round for my first foray around the course.

I will most definitely be returning and may well consider taking a full membership here in the new year.
