Good shape for this time of year

This course is consistently in good shape. Some of the greens are showing the wear and tear of a heavily played course. Despite this, they have managed to keep them very "puttable".

This was the fastest I've ever played this course. A special thanks to the foursome that was on the tee when we pulled up. They let us go off first as we were a twosome.

The layout is nice and can offer a challenge if you never played before.

Always enjoy plating this course

With the lack of rain in the area for many months the course was in pretty good condition. I've always enjoyed the course layout and have enjoyed playing it.

Looking forward to my next round.

The staff was very friendly. The course was in good shape given the dry summer in Ct. Although I haven't played the course in several years it is still one of my favorite courses in the area.

not for me

four of us decided to play this course after reading so many positive reviews and we just couldn't figure out what all the hype is about. The greens we found to be in rather poor condition, fairway was okay considering hot, dry weather, tee boxes were also okay. It certainly did not warrant the expense. Do not plan to return.

Greens and fairways are in great condition

My husband and I played this course for the first time and found it a very enjoyable experience. We have played dozens of public courses in CT and throughout New England and Norwich Golf Course is now on the list of places to return to again and again. It's also a good value when golf fees have become quite expensive at many courses. Friendly staff, too.

Nice round

Course was in good shape, some of the greens were aerated which made the putting speed inconsistent from green to green.

Rough greens.

I have played NORWICH many times.

In this date the course was damp from overnight rains.

The greens were slow and bumpy. They usually are in good shape and are medium fast.

I like Norwich, and will play it many more times, but today I was disappointed in the greens.

Very Nice Ct course

My wife and I play regularly and we visited the Norwich area and decided to play the course. The layout was challenging and fair with pretty wide forgiving fairways. The greens were in very good condition and a bit soft after a little rain. We tee'd off on a Saturday just before noon and finished within 3 1/2 hours. The staff was very friendly but in the club house at in the bar/restaurant afterwards. Overall a very nice afternoon.

Qualty course, great value

Norwich is one of the few clubs on golf now in Connecticut that really severely lowers their prices when the weather is a little iffy I applaud them for that I tend to go to this course whatever those occurrences happen yesterday I played 18 with the cart for $14 at 12:08 in the afternoon Didn't rain a drop while I was playing and the coursed softened up a bit made for a little easier scoring . The course is in very good shape and the most interesting thing is there are no part threes on the front nine. I like the layout said sup better for my fade 10 most courses Would highly recommend at prices between 14 and $30

Nice older course

Staff was nice, price was good. First hole is a bit scary alongside the road (bad for us whose miss is a pull-hook) but that fairway and most of the others are wider than most courses. Lots of holes where placement off the tee is crucial, including the 16th where I hit my drive 280 and had 0-chance to hit the green because of the elevation (a hybrid would have been a better choice). Most greens and fairways were very good, although some greens on the back 9 were bumpy. Lots of sand, hills and elevated greens.

Good course but very slow pace

Took more than 5 hours to finish 18 holes which is ridiculous. Other than that it was a great course, great price and good restaurant inside.

Slow, slow, slow!

Play was unbelievably slow for a Thursday afternoon. There were twosomes that could have been paired. There were foursomes that did not belong on the course, and with no marshals, chaos ruled. Our round was 5+ hours and we waited on EVERY shot. One hole even had three foursomes in the fairway waiting to hit on the green. They were all hitting into each other out of frustration!

Shorter course but challenging

I really enjoy the layout of Norwich. I live close and play it often. The course is always in great playing shape regardless of the time of year. Also I'm usually a single golfer and I haven't been paired with any miserable attitudes to date. Great place to play and the cart girl was really nice and appeared often! I highly recommend to play at Norwich GC for a challenging yet fair round of golf.
