Great place to play a round

Norwich is an old style Donald Ross design that retains its heritage. Most of the course is in front of you. Not too long from the back, be prepared to play for position off the tee on some holes. Greens were great, fairways great, tees not too bad (a few were thin). Pace of play was great and the staff are super.

Good Round

Course and greens in very good condition. Only complaint is they would NOT allow 3 carts (per hole) on course. So if you get teamed up with some one you have to ride with them or they with you. Plenty of carts just a stupid rule for this course.

Course not bad, but pace of play was.

Course in okay shape, really liked the greens. Rolled slow, but true. Tee boxes and fairways were pretty good. A little more hardpan in the rough than I'd like to see, but good for distance.

The one problem was pace of play. The way the first couple holes are set up (Short Par 4, Driveable Par 4, Dogleg Par 4) lends itself to a logjam. The problem was compounded by the groups in front of us merging into a six-some. I had read about this in earlier reviews but apparently management turns a blind eye to this? Because it happened to us as well.

If you stay out of bounds, it's not a tough course. Good for all skill levels. The pro was very nice when I arrived, giving me advice on the greens and sending our group off quickly.

19th hole staff was very nice too. Liked the $1 mini Coors Lights.

Nice Day at Norwich Golf Course

Found a great last minute deal through GolfNow, so my husband and I headed to Norwich for 18 holes. The starter got us right out and we never waited on any hole. The course was in great shape and the greens were very forgiving. We found the course to be longer than most we have played. I would recommend the course.

Good Municipal Course

Overall for this time of year the course was in good shape. Greens were a bit scruffy (possibly because of overseeding as most courses do this year) but they putted true... just slower than normal. Couple holes had brown spots, but it was a harsh winter! Course is short, but for the normal golfer it is ideal.

Beautiful course

It was worth the $30 I paid but the pace was so slow I had to skip the last three holes. We actually had a six person group in front of us and it ruined the pace

Diamond in the Fall

Played this course with my son for the first time. Will definitely be back for sure. Course was in excellent shape for late October. Greens were mint, very few ball marks, a plus for a public course. Course was not very crowded even though it upper 60's and sunny. Able to play 18 in 3 hrs and 15 minutes. Favorite part was the amount of elevated tee boxes allowing you to grip it and rip made for a very enjoyable round. Hope to be back before the end of the season.

Friendly Staff

When we arrived we were ready to play. The starter was able to let us "Load n Go" we had a foursome in front of us that we caught up with early. This slowed us down considering we were a 2some and they never offered to let us play thru. However we decided to pair up on 10 with a couple of great guys.

Decent public course

Overall good experience. Play was slow a twosome was holding up play on the front nine but left the course after the 10th hole. Was looking for a ranger to help but none was in sight. Again what you may expect at times on a public course. But if I was paying full boat $60+ I would not be pleased

Completely Happy

Staff was super nice. Course was in great shape. Some burned fairways on the back 9 but we have had a dry summer. Tee boxes and greens were perfect. Great round. Wish it was cheaper but it was a decent price.

Great value, interesting layout

Played this course for 1st time. Perfect day for golf (80, mostly sunny, light winds). Paired up with a local member who was very helpful at describing features of each hole; a couple of approaches played longer than yardage. First of all, greens were in fantastic condition. They are very undulating, but true. Also, landing areas off tees are very generous. Water and bunkers off tee are not an issue. Lots of elevation changes and doglegs. Pace of play was excellent, and staff was all very friendly. Will play this one again.

Good course, fun to play

Overall the course is well maintained and a fun course to play. There is one very short par-3, up-hill, that is like 105 yards, that is not a good par 3. Besides that the other 17 holes are challenging for all skill levels.
