Wensum Valley Hotel, Golf & Country Club - Wensum Course

Was disappointed with the condition of the fairways, very poor we thought.

Played The Wensum a few times now. Front 9 is definitely your scoring holes as the back nine brings in water. If you are a slicer then the back 9 could cause you some trouble. Greens are very fast. Quite tricky to read. Definitely a challenge. The fairways haven’t completely recovered from the recent hot weather. Patchy in places. Tight bare lies around some of the greens. Very busy at weekends. Our playing partners walked off after 9 holes last weekend. Too slow, however it’s a decent golf course to play and at £13 a round through Golf Now it’s good value for money. It’s a challenge for even an accomplished player hence the reason why they’ve hosted the EuroPro tour there a few times I believe.

We played the wensum course which we have played a few times before. The course layout is enjoyable with some good challenging holes but this time out we were disappointed with the condition of the course. The greens were ok but fairways were very poor and around the greens were not great either. Didn’t effect the enjoyment of our round but it has certainly been in better condition in the past when we have played. Noticeable worst than previous rounds.

Great course and facilities. Greens good. Layout fun. My favourite hole in norfolk the 10th. Water holes also a bit of fun. Wensum is a test for average golfer.

On a hot deal it is worth it but not at the full rate, the bunkers are really the let down of the course, layout is good. Pace of play at the weekends is terrible from previous experience.

Have played this course since it was first built.
Many good memories of times with friends and family some sadly departed.
Now I have Jack my Grandson to join me on the course.
Always look forward to that view from the Pro Shop and The Wendim holes are like a nature walk.
Just hope I can continue to replace the balls that seem to like the water..
A pleasure to play.

Great value for money. The back 9 is especially interesting with water coming in on nearly every hole. Some of the tee shots are daunting because of this. Quiet when we played so no hold ups. Looking forward to playing the other course at the venue

Front nine was scenic parkland undulating and with some dramatic dog legs and interesting holes , unfortunately as we entered the back nine we were met with a selection of excessive use of ponds , lakes and various water hazard that did nothing to improve the holes and was in our opinion poorly planned and just made the course in a breeze almost impossible to play .
The second nine with the exception of 17 & 18 spoiled the experience for us and the condition was no where near that of the front nine .

Had a great day even though the weather was awful. Played the wensum course the first 9 holes are straight forward but the back 9 a very testing. Course was in good condition for winter. The temporary tee boxes were vert good will definitely be back.

What is a tough course for a high handicapper in normal conditions the 40 mph winds made it very difficult over the water holes... However can’t wait to go back when the weather warms up and give it another go. Don’t let the course beat you and go again. If nothing it teaches you to play to the conditions and for £10 hot deal it was a great afternoon and value.
