Not Bad at all
I had to see for myself, the course was closed for 4 weeks due to the flood. They are giving out discounted rates as they work very hard on the fairways of holes that were flooded. The greens are awesome, tee boxes level and overall not too bad at all. Loved the staff, and the cold beer afterwards.
First timer
A couple friends and I decided to try out Norwood Country Club, we are brand new to the game of golf so we’re trying out a few different courses to try and get an understanding for the game and further our skills at different pars. As a result of us being beginners we try to tee off during the evening so we do not hold up any experienced players.
We started on the back nine due to a class that was schedule around the same time as our tee time, which is not a problem whatsoever.
Hole 9 was green and in pretty good condition, after hole nine all of the hole were full of dirt on the fairway and barely any green. The green it self was in pretty good condition. But as I said we are new golfers so course conditions are obviously not going to be a huge problem for us
As we started there were golfers behind us but they were also somewhat beginners so they understood it may take us longer than usual, after a little while we let them jump ahead of us so they did not have to wait on us to finish a hole.
After sometime there we were on the fairway about to hit our balls when, one man of a group of three yelled to us “what the f are you doing on a golf course”. We finished our hole and moved on
The staff was super friendly and very helpful as I told them we were new to golf so they helped us out in anyway they could. A friend needed rental clubs and they had them ready for us before we got there, the man at the pro shop also walked us to our carts and directed us to hole 9 and told us if we need any help through the course to just call and he will do what he can.
The only reason I would not recommend this to a friend is because of all the airplanes flying overhead (obviously not the courses fault) , and the course conditions.
Terrible conditions
I am a new golfer and have played here a few times before the course flooded.. some of the holes have no grass in the fairways now. Hopefully they will close some of the holes and fix the course.
Rough shape but nice course
The starter here is a wicked grouch. No hello, just a “no booze in the bags right?!” And it was 7:45am. The guy inside was really nice and said the course was in rough shape due to weather…he was very accurate. The third hole was a swamp. We picked up and played through to 4. I would hit a 200yd drive down the fairway to end up an inch under mid/water. Lost 5 balls in open play. In better conditions this course has tremendous potential but I won’t be going back this season.
Not worth it
Worst course conditions I have ever played. Sometimes I hit in the fairway but there were not grass at all, was like a dry swamp
Change your voicemail
My friend set up a tee time to play in the morning. Called the course to confirm it was open. Voicemail said we’re open today. We got there, walked into the shop and was told the course was closed. After playing the voicemail to the employee, he said 90% of the year that voicemail is accurate and it’s not worth changing when they are closed. He went on to smugly say that they’ll contact their IT department. Terrible customer service. Set up a tee time and drove right over to William Devine (great course).
Staff was dense
4th of July weekend it rains so before I drive down from the NorthShore I call to make sure the club is open. Voicemail comes on, “ Norwood country club is open, all 18 holes and driving range”.
When I get there, holes are underwater and they won’t let us on the course. I bring up the voicemail, and the bartender says we can’t change the voicemail just for one or two days.
Don’t see why they wouldn’t just remove the fact that the course was open from the voicemail. Then you’d have to speak To someone in person to confirm either way. Not at all helpful.
Smug kid said, “I’ll pass that on to our IT department”
Trash
Course is nothing but clover and dandelions with bare spots and dead spot everywhere. Total trash.
