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

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

Norwich Golf Club
Great staff very friendly...... fun course not long but very challenging greens small and undulating..... fairways in good shape great bang for your buck..... will recommend to try your skills
Great conditions
Course in great shape. Staff friendly and nice greens
Decent Course
Course conditions were good but very slow! 5 hour round is not acceptable at any course. They should invest in rangers
Faster pace, great conditions
Wanted to write a follow up review after playing again. The course is really in exceptional shape. Greens are fast and perfect, and a ton of break. Chips will run off pretty easily on the wrong side of the hole. Bunkers are pure. Fairways mowed tight. The downhill and dogleg fairways are pretty inviting, to say the least. I played off the back tees and had great angles into most greens, but there’s some subtle elevation changes that you need to factor in. It’s not long but there are some woods that will snag you on a few holes. Pace of play was much better today (2pm). Couple holes/ take less club into the green than you think. Definitely will play again. Hope to score better next time, something about this place is tough for me. Thanks for keeping the course in great shape!
Course was in great shape
Course was challenging. Greens were tough to read. Greens in great shape.Would play once a week at that price. And to top it off, put it in the hole on hole 10, 70 yards out!! Yayy me!!!
Greens
Best Norwich Greens of the year.
Civi. Is the best starter.
Still think a couple of wholes need closer women's tee placements and a few more Senior tees
Played twilight rates great price...course was in the best shape I have ever seen it. Pace of play was slower on the front 9 but wide open on the back 9
Will be back often
I got on late, around 6pm to play my second round today. I live nearby and it’s always busy so I figured I could walk a quick loop. Sadly, both the front and the back side had slow groups reloading every bad tee shot. Come on man. So I skipped ahead.
That being said, I was able to walk about 14 holes until the sun went down. $25 for the twilight rate. Pro shop guy was cool. The elevation changes and slope is very challenging, which I love. Tee boxes are mostly very good. Every green is in great shape. But man, a ton of undulating that I hadn’t seen before , being my first time here. Next time I’ll know better. Fast rolls. Gotta stay below the hole.
It’s not a long course from the back tees. And it’s pretty wide open on most holes. I wasn’t perfect but I had good lies on most holes, even off the fairways. Rough is maintained pretty well. Bunkers were solid. I really don’t have any issues except these guys were way too slow and shouldn’t be hitting that many tee shots with groups in front and behind.
If you walk it, be ready to climb some hills. I’ll be back soon, hopefully with a faster loop.
Better Policing
A foursome jumped in on Hole 10.
Apparently they had been terribly slow and inconsiderate in the first nine. They went to the clubhouse, came back out and pretty much angered several groups with the their lack of etiquette. The cart return staff was aware ... Which surprised us. If they were aware they should have sent a ranger to deal with that group.
Excellent Municipal Course!
The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The course is historic and reasonably challenging, with tough hole placements. Sand traps were gravelly as is often the case in New England. The course has a an excellent cafe serving food and beverages with a pretty patio overlooking the course. I will certainly return with my friends.

One hundred and nine years of golf tradition. Norwich Golf Club is just an Awesome place to play!
Good challenge from the Blues
Course in very good condition from tees, fairways and greens. Pace was OK but waited on almost every hole. Fair value for a weekend day.
Great value
Great Value, fun layout! Not the longest course but definitely challenging. Fairways and greens where in great condition, sand traps definitely need some work. Great pace-of-play for a Thursday afternoon, 3 hours 15 minutes to play 18. Staff is always on top of things and very friendly and helpful.
