Good course but very slow pace

Took more than 5 hours to finish 18 holes which is ridiculous. Other than that it was a great course, great price and good restaurant inside.

Slow, slow, slow!

Play was unbelievably slow for a Thursday afternoon. There were twosomes that could have been paired. There were foursomes that did not belong on the course, and with no marshals, chaos ruled. Our round was 5+ hours and we waited on EVERY shot. One hole even had three foursomes in the fairway waiting to hit on the green. They were all hitting into each other out of frustration!

Shorter course but challenging

I really enjoy the layout of Norwich. I live close and play it often. The course is always in great playing shape regardless of the time of year. Also I'm usually a single golfer and I haven't been paired with any miserable attitudes to date. Great place to play and the cart girl was really nice and appeared often! I highly recommend to play at Norwich GC for a challenging yet fair round of golf.

Worth the travel

I ended up playing with 3 individuals who all had came out as a single and got along great. The course was in great shape for this time of year and the greens were also in great shape. The ranger had to break up one group, it really didn't effect us, but was good to know when pace is slowed. I would definitely recommend this course, which is also a stone throw away from Mohegan Casino

Solid Course

The course layout is fun and challenging. Tee boxes and fairways were in decent shape and greens were excellent. Paid $20 per person for 18 holes with a cart, and you can't beat that with a stick. Recommend and will be back.

Course with variations

Good course with different variations. Staff was rude. After playing 18 staff walked up to us and requested we give cart back ASAP. I asked what the big deal was because when I got it they said it needs to be back at 5:30pm and it was only 4:30pm. He said we finished our round so we had to give it back. He was very aggressive and rude.

Wonderful course

Scenic and challenging course. Our only problem was we had a hard time finding our balls but maybe it was the direction of the sun (mid-day). Staff was very helpful and friendly. Really good value for such a fun and enjoyable course.

Always good

Norwich is always in pretty good shape, especially with how much play it gets. Pace is not the best due to new bees. Greens were on the slow side for norwich, usually above average in speed.

Disappointing

From the moment I stepped on the course, me and my gps disagreed on where I was standing. For a muni course, it was in fair shape, given the time of year but the design felt like someone just dropped a course on the side of a hill.
The greens had just been aerated, making the round worse.
Lost my interest after 10 holes...

Norwich Golf Course

Fairways and greens were well manicured and in very good condition apparently result of watering during the scourging hot weather. Bunkers were harsh - not raked and course with pebbles. Pace of play was excellent. Overall an enjoyable round on a good course and would recommend - plan to return soon.

Good course if your at the Casinos

It was hot! The weather has not been great for course conditions and it showed. The greens were really beat up and the lies on and of the fairways were not great. I liked the layout. The par 4s were all pretty easy. The par 5s played as 3 shot holes for me. The par 3s (three on the back 9) were all pretty different. I was paired up with 3 other people who were all nice. The staff were all great. Pace of play was good. We were actually a little slow. I scored well which is nice. I will give it another try in the future but not until we get some rain.

Nice Public Track

My wife and I enjoyed the somewhat challenging course. Variety of uphill and downhill shots to smallish greens. Tee box and fairways could use some TLC, greens were fine. The staff was friendly and the Caddy Shack Pub/restaurant was very good. GOLFNOW.COM hot deal made it a good value.

Disappointing

My husband and I booked a tee time here on a quick trip to Mohegan Sun. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately there was a member championship tournament in the morning. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes. We are used to planying public courses and long rounds but this was disappointing as we had to wait between each shot. especially for the 60 per person. We quit after 10 holes. The course is in ok shape for a public course. You need to search for yardage markers. Greens are ok. Sand traps are full of rocks. Will not go back again
