Drastic price increase. Nothings changed

The brain blowing new 2026 rates give you the sense they changed this muni course into Augusta. They didn’t. Stones the size of my golf ball in the gravel bunkers. Same ol’ course, BIG price.

Poor pace of play NO Marshall’s to control

It.

Restaurant has excellent food.

Underrated

Norwich GC is probably one of the most underrated courses in the area. It's a challenging but fun layout. Lots of elevation change keeps it exciting.

Major improvements

Since I last played this course about five years ago, Norwich has put a lot of money into upgrading this hidden gem. The greens roll true and fast as well as the fairways and tee boxes being tidy and well-groomed. Also, it was exactly 4 hours and 10 minutes for our round. I recommend this course as it is great layout with many different holes requiring lots of different shots and club selections.

Very Impressed

Very solid track with interesting and scenic holes. Greens were in excellent shape. The real standout though was the staff. Every single person I encountered from pro shop to starter was incredibly friendly and helpful. It was very refreshing and appreciated!

Its alright. Not a fan of hilly CT / Mass courses. No flat lies off tee box into fairway. Easy layout. Good for beginners.

Fees have increased. Course not so much

This course is not worth the new outrageous green fee of $70+..

While there have been numerous cosmetics of new trees, new bridge and finally replacing the COVID disappearing ball washers.

Still the ball washers have no water and the washer handle pulls entirely out of the base. Sand traps are still rock quarries and pace of play has improved slightly. But I believe pace improved because it cost so much.

Golfer getting gouged again.
