Course in excellent condition
Had a thoroughly enjoyable round of golf the Wensum course is definitely a course of two halves. First half relatively easy second half much harder with a lot of water coming into play
Pretty course
Great course, well maintained with some tricky holes due to surrounding water. Some beautiful views that come with the course as well as wildlife.
Weekend Golf
A beautiful and enjoyable golf course at Wensum Valley.
However Weekend Golf Backed Up tee times left a really slow pace of play. 3-4 balls with carts taking so long meant a huge back log on back 9. Played 10 holes in 2hr40 so walked in. Really disappointing understand value for money and booking as many tee times yet weekend golf here is too busy and players also finished early due to how slow it was.
During the week, this is not an issue. Hopefully it will be better for next time for us golfers as well as others.
Very good course
A very good course offering excellent value for money.
Great day out
A lovely course. Courteous and friendly golfers and staff. Enjoyed it.
The Wensum Course
Great course, great variety from 1 to 18! Highly recommend!
Nice course
Enjoy this one, particularly all to the water later on. Pace of play can be slow, as it seems to attract large groups.
My review
Course was in great condition, I like the changes you’ve made, especially to the water section of the course. We were unfortunately stuck behind a group of lads using 2 buggies with no course etiquette , wearing trainers and who appeared to be playing Texas scramble ( peak time on Saturday! ) we called out to ask if we could be let through, which fell on deaf ears! We just about finished before the light went. Upon finishing one of the group called out and said it was slow because they were a four ball ( without any awareness that you should let groups behind you through if you are not keeping up with the pace of play! ) It was a real shame as we were having a great game until we encountered this unsavoury group. My solution would be that if you have hotel guests playing or visitors you explain the basic rules when they are checking in at the pro shop, this seems very typical with hotel golf complexes. Course was in great condition and is great value on a Saturday, just need to educate visitors on golf etiquette!
An interesting woodland/wetland course
A difficult course as the conditions were cold and ground was wet underfoot. The greens were temporary, which we found a bit disappointing. The course design was interesting with lots of tree-lined fairways, ponds and lakes. Maybe this was the wrong time of year to play this course?
Pro shop was well equipped and staff were very friendly and helpful.
Best £25 per round anywhere!
Cracking venue, the green keepers are constantly busy with something, and as long as the water line is still below the banks you'll have a days work to keep your balls dry. Excellent conditions, thanks for your efforts guys, looking forward to my next round 👍
Slow play on a fine day
Played the wensum on a Sunday with an 11am tee time. We thoroughly enjoyed the course layout and quality but the round was marred by a 5 hour play time. Two groups of 4 balls in buggies were back to back and extremely slow.
I feel a marshall would help this situation.
Great course!
Booked for a two ball at 2pm. Arrived early expecting to use the range while we waited but could go straight out.
Friendly staff at all areas of the club, would highly recommend, in fact thinking about joining, its that good.
