Swaffham Golf Club

First time playing here, I live 12 miles away and surrounded by local courses, but took the opportunity of a Hot deal From GN , 2 of us went, ample parking, nice pro shop, friendly and polite greetings from staff and clients alike, had a tasty and well priced bacon roll and sausage bap with a mug of tea, couldnt fault it, played 18 holes, lay of the land is hilly and for this part of the county its a pleasure to be on anything other than billard table flat, mixture of long Par 4 & 5 with short challenging Par 3 holes, nice and open so ideal for the occasional golfer like myself as there is room for error unlike tree lined tunnels in strips like is popular in the fens, ground was well drained , winter Tee mats in use on some areas and flags moved off most greens again for winter play so not the best time of year to rate the greens , which will make a good reason to return in the spring..

Very welcoming staff and members. Course is excellent sadly a little wet in places which I appreciate is out of your control. Will defo look forward to challenging myself next Spring / Summer with those tough undulating greens lol. Overall a lovely day many thanks. Lee

2nd time I’ve played here - course was in excellent condition once again, greens fast and true, bunkers well raked and consistent, fairways also well maintained. This is a really interesting course, each hole memorable and posing different challenges but a fair test for golfers of all levels. Well worth visiting for a day out.

Excellent layout and generous fairways.

Greens well covered and healing from maintenance work.

Some of the fairway first cut areas were heavily laden with conkers and shells and to be expected this time of year. Would help if these were cleared to aid finding balks and speeding up play.

I’m general a great day out 👍

We all had a good day. The food was good the golf was good and the 19th hole was ok aswell

Was well worth the money

To be fair there’s not too much wrong here. P

Nice layout with some challenging greens and undulations. Fairways often open up but can at times provide a daunting strike; which is great cause it makes you think. Tee boxes aren’t the best in terms of upkeep and it’s just a little rough around the edges so to speak. For £50 I would be a bit disappointed so try to get it in a deal. Staff are super friendly though and amenities are nice enough. I would play it again.

Best course I have played for a long time, really friendly welcome from everyone at the club albeit a little understaffed at the bar after.

Will definitely be back, greens were immaculate and many of the holes were really special. Keep up the great work!

The course was better than expected, green were really good. Food good and staff were very friendly.

Had a 'voucher' and Swaffham was on the list - we loved it - so many holes that we said "I'd like to play that again" - so it was our first time of playing the course but it won't be the last - we'll be back!

This is an excellent golf course, friendly and welcoming members well laid out in beautiful settings. Travelled from London and would do so again. H Walters

I joined 3 others on hot deal tee time. None of us had played the course before and we were all at different playing abilities. Pace of play was about 3.45 which I thought was reasonable for a 4 ball.

The course layout was interesting with a good variety of holes HOWEVER the condition of the course left something to be desired.

We were not informed that the greens had been hollow tined and sanded within the last week. Consequently the greens did not putt well at all.

Also we were not told that the 17th green was a temporary one shortening the hole by about 90 yards.

Also many of the blue tees in operation were in front of the red tees and just on an area of "fairway".

Would i play the course again? Probably but not at this time of year and definitely not before calling the pro shop to ask suitable questions. You have been warned!
