5 min tee time intervals on a friday afternoon??

Pace of play was terrible due to a few groups being slipped in on 5 minute tee time intervals. Starter was quite apologetic saying he had no control & it was a decision made by the pro....first time encountering this at Norwich. This course doesn't have a ranger to keep things moving. We stopped after 10 due to pace of play.

Last time I played this course was at least 30 years ago. There have been many improvements made over the years and I was quite pleasantly surprised! Much better than I ever remember.

Norwich Golf Course

Pro Shop and restaurant staff were very friendly. The course was in good shape considering the extensive drought the area has experienced. The beverage cart stopped by several times during the course of play, so thirst was never an issue. The course also has a convenient snack shack accessible from several different holes.

Best public course deal.

What more can you ask of a public course? Nice layout, green grass, nice greens and frequent cart/beverage service.

Slow crowded play haunts this course

No matter when we play this course the crowded /slow play turns whatever nice round you could of had into a suicide attempt by hole 10..

I wouldn't play this course at the advertised rate of $55 and up! Thank god for reward points to make the 10-15 min wait on each hole a little more bearable.

The course is in good shape, most of the Starters are friendly except for one old Timer who thinks he is Deputy Duffer on the scene.

Marshalls would go a long way here on improving the pace of play, but it seems Management is more in to counting the money.

Traps

Traps are in need of some sand not rocks! They are hard and a lot of rocks. The rest of the course is in great shape for being in a drought.

Great Golf Course

2nd time playing this course and I love it. It has a little bit of everything. Open, woodsy, straight, doglegs, long, short. We were fortunate to be paired up with a member (Goose) & His brother Sly. Goose is a great player and taught me a few things that day. He could be a caddy on the pro tour in my opinion.
Even the maintenance crew is so courteous they stop, quiet thier machines & move out of the way when your hitting. Even Hannah the beverage cart girl (I hope I got the name right) stopped her cart when we were hitting and was so pleasant and came around often. I highly recommend Norwich Golf Course. Wish we could've tried the food. Maybe next time.

Always a pleasure golfing here

Course is in great shape, particularly in the middle of a drought in late summer. Greens were great, fairways very good. Some of the tee boxes were a little rough, but overall a great day, as usual. I try to play this course at least twice a year, as I live an hour away. Always worth the trip

Enjoyable

Considering how dry it's been the overall course conditions were ok. First time playing there. An interesting mix of short and longer holes. We would return.
