Norwood Country Club

I was in town and arranged to play with 3 life long friends today. I had saw some reviews on line that were very critical of Norwood and had some concerns about my course selection. I’m not sure what the negative reviews were for because the course, the staff (John, the course pro was great), and everything at the course made the day one the best rounds of golf my friends and I have experienced. I would highly recommend getting out to play here and if you need a little advise to improve your game make sure you try to chat with John.

We have played the course many times but were surprised by how well it was maintained. The greens and fairways were in great shape, the staff was friendly and we were done with 9 holes in just under 2 hours

Great Day at Norwood Country Club

Had a very enjoyable round at Norwood Country Club on Saturday. Overall, it was a good day of golf with good course conditions and very puttable greens.

One thing I really appreciate about Norwood is the variety of available tee times. Sometimes golf is a last-minute decision, and having options available makes it easy to get out and play.

I know some people give Norwood a bad rap, but I don’t agree. I found the starter to be pleasant and attentive, and the course itself is challenging and a great test of your game — definitely good for an ego boost!

There were a few dry spots, but honestly, that’s pretty typical at almost any course.

Overall, a very enjoyable day of golf. I’ll definitely be back.

Course seems to be much improved since being rated as one of the 5 worst public courses in the country.

I think they can put that reputation behind them now.

It's nice to see effort being put into maintaining it and improving the experience.

Very busy course, played on Tuesday, tee time delayed for 20mins. The whole play was 2 hours behind. This is not a big deal to us. Staffs are very nice and professional. Couple of rude players passed us with no notification, staff saw it and got into the issue right away. Those players filed a complaint on us said we were slow, but the truth is we were slow because all groups in front of us were slow, we had no choice but wait, you can’t just hit people with you ball.

If you’re looking to walk a course, this is it. Flat all round, not one hill to climb. I played the gold tees which is the longest, just less than 5,700 yards , so overall on the short side. Just be careful cause when the box is set way back the tees kind of fall off so you fell like you’re hitting driver on an up hill lie. Greens were in good condition but slow and if you read a break it doesn’t happen. A couple of doglegs don’t let you hit driver but fun nonetheless. The airport is right next to the course so I hope you don’t mind low (and mean really low) planes going overhead. Overall a good value for what I paid.

Norwood gets a bad rap. Walkable. Affordable. Played in just over 4 hours on the weekend. Greens are fine. Fairways and tee boxes are not perfect but whatever. 2nd hole is a little gimmicky. Wet conditions used to be an issue. It is much better now. Rained a lot this week and the course was dry.

Course is in the usual shape for late July (slightly blow average), the price for my riding 9 on a Tue at 11AM is a bit overpriced at $48, and the bartender/pro shop attendant, ranger, and club pro are friendly enough. If they hadn't fixed the drainage (it WAS a literal swamp until the town built the course and adjacent airport many years ago), I wouldn't recommend NCC, but now I do.

Norwood country club is a perfect course to hone one’s golf skills.. There is very little water, the rough is not so rough, there is very little where it’s difficult to find your ball and the greens are in great shape. I plan to return many times before the season ends for me.
