Norwich Course in good shape

Course has great tee boxes and greens. Some spotty patches where carts scatter could be worked in. Overall in nice shape.

Good value next to Mohegan Sun

Course was in good condition but a few holes have thin grass in the fairways. Tree work on third hole opens up the left side on your tee shot. The greens are in great shape and running true. Hot Deals on GolfNow made weekend round affordable.

Mike

Realize the time of the year doesn’t bode well for good course conditions; but if you are going to charge in season rates then conditions should be better. Debris on the course and poor trap conditions have little to do with time of the year and more to do with routine maintenance. If time of the year precludes proper maintenance, then rates should reflect that.

I have played this course in the past and will play it again. When conditions are better it is enjoyable to play.

Great shape but slow play

Course is in great shape for this time of year. Maintenance crews are doing a good job. The rough is a little bit tall so can be hard to fine your ball here and there. The only problem with Norwich golf course is the pace of play is always super slow. If your going to play there it’s normal for it to be at lease a five hour round. Used to play it a lot and used to be a member there and it always plays slow. Other then that it’s a good course

Management greed

We avoided this course for the last part of the Summer as the pace of play and lack of Ranger made it a maddening experience.

We have voiced our concerns to management that fall on deaf ears. So on a warm day in Nov we tried it again. A frost has pushed back Tee times 1 hr 1/2, not under Managements control. But in this day and age how about an email or warning of the delay.

Our 1210 tee time was pushed till 1pm. With carts due in by 4 and the back log of foursomes management knew dam well there was no chance of completing our round. Yet they took full price anyway!

The starter told us that it has been the most profitable season ever with packed in Tee times every day.

So complaining gets you no where, and its a shame, as the greens are in excellent shape the staff is friendly and was doing their best to get golfers out. To include the hackers. Which do not belong on this course with No Rangers to assist.

I guess i have to remember this is a City owned course. Regardless management cares little about the spirit pf the game and more about lining their pockets.
