Good deal

Played on a day they just finished a tournament. Conditions were good. Greens rolled true. Course was mostly empty so pace of play was whatever we decided it was. Good price = great value

My playing partner did notice they had an illegal cup position on hole 18 - only 2.5 paces from the edge

Nice Public Course

Enjoyable experience. Friendly staff. Good conditions. Pace of play was very good. The rate was very good with my Golf Now / Golf Pass booking. I’ve played here several times during the summer months. I’m a Florida resident the rest of the year. I do recommend this course.

Disappointing Conditions

Norwich has a good variety of holes which usually makes it an interesting track. Greens feature undulation & usually roll well. Despite the wet & cool summer the course is in relatively poor condition at the moment. Many of the greens had fringe or surrounding rough suffering from rot / disease/ burn out / unkept areas. The rough was spotty on many holes with conditions ranging from bare compacted dirt to short grass to thick crab grass. Greens featured many unrepaired pitch marks, bunkers were thin with many small rocks. Mid day watering of the greens interrupted play making an already slow round unbearable at times. Overall very disappointing conditions.

Pass of play still haunts this course.

Lack of rangers continues to be a problem at Norwich. Painful long rounds as several slow groups hold the rest of the patrons hostage with no one pushing them forward.

Course is in good shape, very good restaurant over looking 3rd fairway.

No course ranger continues to allow poor pace of play. I called the pro shop to complain after seven holes and they still did nothing about it.

Mid week bargain

Played on a wed at noon with $10 tee off reward each. Greens were inconsistent. Fairways were good. Pace was a little slow (4:20). Very hot day, could have had more water on the course.

Very good conditioned course. I was playing solo and the pace of play was a bit on the slow side, but expected when playing behind a couple of 3/4 person groups. Other than that it was very nice course to play. A cart was very usefull as there are a lot of slopes and hills.

Short but Very Challenging

Played here 3 or 4 days in a row. Loved it. Short course - I played irons off the tee except for a few par 5s. Be careful of bombing it past where you can see. Some hidden creeks and drop offs. Rough was TOUGH. Easy to lose a ball that you thought was in play. Greens were fast with some very difficult pin positions. The greens were hard to hold approach shots from mid or long irons so you really have to think about every shot.
