Great course, very well kept

Loved the course. Very well kept and the greens are fabulous

Staff are friendly, shop is good.

For the course i would love to see 150yard markers as an improvement.

Speed of play was very slow. 2 groups left in front of me due to a group playing extremely slow and wouldn’t let anyone through. I caught up with them my hole 13 and even being by myself by then they wouldn’t let myself through.

Excellent afternoon of golf.

First time playing here and the Wensum coarse. I am still relatively new to golf and I found this coarse a challenge at times. The coarse is lovely and well kept with great views. The front 9 the pace of play is good, then the back 9 are slower I assume this is due to the water hazards!! What is funny as I played much better on the back 9.

Think the driving range could do with a little more investment, looks a bit run down but is still serves a purpose. All the other facilities here are great.

Great test

So we ended up at this course because our original round was cancelled apparently due to weather, this course is literally up the road and sits in a river valley, and the conditions were unbelievable, I thought it would be a bog, but it's not, the condition of course for early in the year and with weather we've had in last year was just amazing. Would definitely recommend this course, when you get into the valley with the river winding it's way through its a real challenge

Enjoyable Course to play

Played the Wensum course which had some holes closed due to being water logged, but still played 18 holes & throughly enjoyed the course. As a bonus everyone we met were very friendly.

Sat 2nd March 2024

Lovely course. Only 9 holes available to play due to the wet conditions. But allowed to play 18 holes. Can’t wait to play in the summer and see all the hard work from the winter make the course even better.

To start…very rude woman in the pro shop..course was in ok condition…was surprised to see groups of youths in hoodies and tracksuits trashing the course as they hacked there way round…also people drinking booze and throwing cans around …it seems they let anyone on this course.

Slightly let down

I know this course well as until recently I was a member at Wensum. I received the usual cheerful and friendly greeting from Nick in the pro shop. Despite the very wet weather recently, the course was in very good condition. However, it was only when I arrived at the pro shop did I learn that 4 of the holes were closed. Whilst I understand this is good practice for the club in order to prevent damage, it would have been nice to know at the time of booking that the whole course was not playable (which it has been for some time) Had I known this, I would have played a full round elsewhere. I’m not sure if this is a Golf Now issue or the club itself but somewhat took the shine off an otherwise enjoyable day.

Great value for money, but...

... we had to cut the round short by 5 holes due to slow play. At one point, three groups all on the same 11th tee. The price of a warm autumn afternoon.

Nice course

Played it a few times now, nothing wrong with the course, but once you have completed the first 9 holes, you are waiting on every hole until you finish. It's because the back 9 are very difficult with so many water hazards it simply takes so long.

Excellent Course

Very good course, we played the Wensum a great lay out & excellent value for money we paid.

After golf we decided to stay and have a meal & drinks, the staff, particularly Adam were very accommodating, the food was delicious & the price of the beer very reasonable.

We would recommend to take a visit & play a lovely course.

We will definitely be returning.
