Pace of play is the biggest problem here. Course is fine, greens were slow

Challenging but playable course

Enjoyed a round with another single golfer. Course including the greens are well maintained. My only complaint is the exit off the cart paths unto the fairways was quite rough.

Sloooow

Everything was good with the round except the pace of play. Almost 5 hrs to play 18. As a threesome that’s way too long. Group in front of us must have lost 2-3 dozen balls between them.

Slow pace on Weekend

Very slow pace on weekend. Course management tried to keep the pace but only helped a little. I have played there during the week and the pace was good!

Please!! No Beginners on Difficult Courses

I was a Member of Norwich GC years ago. I have always loved this course for it's challenge and variety. Saw a Tee-Off or Golf-Now deal at 3:30pm on a Saturday, and took it. Carts have to be back in at 8pm, so pace of play needs to be not worse than a four-and-a-half hour round. Easily done. But it was like beginner-paloosa that day. Had to skip holes three times and only got to play 14 holes. Not such a great deal, then. I don't want to pay *double* to play earlier, so I guess I won't be playing Norwich again.

Good deal

Great course for the hot deal. Tees were a little rough and 1 green is under repair. Greens could use some work as well. Staff is very nice. It's a great layout.

A Pleasant Round

All positives except the allocation of manpower. There were a ton of projects, maintenance, etc being performed, yet one guy with a leaf blower doing the greens would have made a big difference. There was too much stuff just laying on the greens.
