The third, a dogleg left of 376, typifies most of the holes on this course: not long, but challenging in other ways. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Seven ( # 3 index) seems like one of the best par-4’s in Connecticut. This photo doesn’t reveal just how tough it is to make a par here. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Eleven is another great hole, its protected green seen here in the shadows. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Twelve, another challenging par-5, plays downhill and through the woods. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Green six is fronted by a daunting, frontal bunker with a high lip. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

The tenth hole’s green is set fairly close to, but below, New London Turnpike. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

This sprawling bunker flanking the right side of hole 11 is typical of the challenges abounding on these eighteen. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

The fourteenth green, at 560 yards, will take two Herculean shots to reach in two, but anything less may find its way into the small brook before it. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

Very Impressed
Very solid track with interesting and scenic holes. Greens were in excellent shape. The real standout though was the staff. Every single person I encountered from pro shop to starter was incredibly friendly and helpful. It was very refreshing and appreciated!

Its alright. Not a fan of hilly CT / Mass courses. No flat lies off tee box into fairway. Easy layout. Good for beginners.

Fees have increased. Course not so much
This course is not worth the new outrageous green fee of $70+..
While there have been numerous cosmetics of new trees, new bridge and finally replacing the COVID disappearing ball washers.
Still the ball washers have no water and the washer handle pulls entirely out of the base. Sand traps are still rock quarries and pace of play has improved slightly. But I believe pace improved because it cost so much.
Golfer getting gouged again.

Too Slow
The pace of play was extremely slow. We tee off at 1pm and got to the 15th hole at 5pm. This seems to be the norm at Norwich. Way over crowded and no course marshall to keep the course moving. Don't know if they allow members to walking in but when we got to the 10th hole it was a bottle neck at least 4 groups waiting. Probably won't play again at Norwich.
