Second time

A bit slow but not too bad. Greens and fairways were in great shape. I’d come back and would recommend this course to others. I’d recommend a cart as its hilly and walking would be tough for 18.

No narrow here

Too narrow a course for my game and very unforgiving. Couple that with extremely slow play, and you have a less than desirable experience. Staff was great however, as was the restaurant/bar. We were happy to finish and sit down with an adult beverage after this round.

Very Enjoyable

Fairways and greens were quite good. Pace of play was amazing. No waiting and not pressured from behind. Some of the cart paths need a lot of work. A bit of a rough ride in spots.

Mike

Many of tee boxes a little rough, fairways were generally very good, the greens were excellent and probably some of the best greens I’ve seen on any course all year.

Deathly slow!

12:20 tee time turned into 12:35 tee off. Nearly 5 hours later I had only completed 15 holes. Called it a round as sunset neared.

There was no ranger on the course to speed play which would have surely helped. I’ve played this course before during the week with no problem. So I would suggest you not play on the weekend unless you enjoy excruciating slow play.

Brutal pace of play as usual

This course is impossible to enjoy as every time we book it, it is log jammed from 1 thru 18.

.Maddening waiting on every hole.

Sand traps are hard gravel pits, the course though is relatively good. Excellent restaurant.

Norwich 1st Time

Course was really nice and certainly well kept. Proximity to the Casino was excellent but it sure4 increased the price of my golf outing. I will be back for the golf only!
