A bit wet on the day but a great tricky course!

A wet under foot day but the course held up well. A nice front 9 with a really tricky back 9 with plenty of water to avoid. Really sharpens you up.

Decent shop on site and really good value for money at £10 for a round!

Winter round

Even though it had been very wet and the course follows the Wensum river it was still playable and the greens were in good shape considering. Have played both courses the other being the Valley course. The Wensum course with all the water on the back 9 is good fun, but does mean the odd ball will be lost! Great courses well worth playing.

Great course

Excellent course!
Lovely front 9, as you make your way through, you think you've got the whole course sussed.
Then the back nine appears with water, a lot of it.
It gets your brain working and playing strategically.
Then the course ends back on land, giving you a chance to relax again knowing your ball wont be going swimming.
All in all, fantastic course, highly recommend it.

Lovely course

Having played the Valley course a few years ago we decided to take on the somewhat more challenging Wensum course. Have to say we totally loved it. My son and I had a superb round of golf on what I can only say as one of the most picturesque course I have played on from around this part of the country. Yes there are some extremely challenging holes, especially the ones surrounded by water but to combine golf with the stunning countryside and nature is just fantastic. Despite the weather being hot for some time we expected the course to be hard and brown. It wasn't. The greens were in excellent condition and the fairways, albeit a little worn, still better than my regular course. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. We would most certainly would play it again and I always judge a course on whether I would become a member there. I certainly would.

Course good/golfers bad

When we arrived the car park was very busy and we were very surprised to see that golfer were sitting next to each other and there was a bbq on offer and a group of four golfers approaching the 18th on the valley course and then a four golfer group just teeing off on the 1st on the valley in full view of all golfers and two people sharing a buggy/when approaching the pro shop we could clearly see a four ball teeing off the 1st tee of the wensum course inside the pro shop the member of staff gave no information about any rule we needed to follow or made aware of any restrictions in place/we do love the course but felt that the club had lost our confidence in allowing so many people to play in groups of four and nobody checking on the course to insure strict rules were follow or safety of players
