Challenging course

Small and challenging greens which I enjoyed. Good test of golf. Staff was great. Need to play course more than once as there are some blind shots, ravines that you expect to be wet that are not. 18 holes, cart, single, finished in 3:15. Full menu and bar. Burger was good. Well worth the GolfNow Hot Deal price. I will be back soon.

Awesome links. Great course!

I really enjoy the course a lot because even the sprinklers have yardages on them. So when my phone gps is acting up on the course. I can rely on the course to have yardages all around my ball which is pretty cool and should be at more golf courses in CT. Awesome job guys!

Late winter golfing.

Not to bad for late winter golfing. The ground crew were working hard everywhere. Kudos to them for getting the course ready for play. Signs of winter and heavy rains made its mark. We will be back.

Snails Pace of Play

Perfect weather day to enjoy a fall round of golf. I don't play fast but like to play ready golf with my partner. We unfortunately got stuck behind two groups of inexperienced golfers. They rarely hit straight shots and would still hit multiple balls. They did not seem to care they were backing up the rest of the golfers on the course nor would let anyone play through. No course ranger available so we called the pro shop to complain but they did nothing. We finally skipped two holes on the back nine to get in front of them. The rest of the back nine was totally open from there.

By Myself

First time in a while I went out as a single. Lightening fast pace till 12 when I ran up on another single with a slow single in front of him. Little weird that I’d catch up to them unless they started on 10. Really jammed up by 16 but overall good pace. Course in great condition. Cart paths could use some repair. Always enjoy the course and today was no different.

Good deal

Played on a day they just finished a tournament. Conditions were good. Greens rolled true. Course was mostly empty so pace of play was whatever we decided it was. Good price = great value

My playing partner did notice they had an illegal cup position on hole 18 - only 2.5 paces from the edge

Nice Public Course

Enjoyable experience. Friendly staff. Good conditions. Pace of play was very good. The rate was very good with my Golf Now / Golf Pass booking. I’ve played here several times during the summer months. I’m a Florida resident the rest of the year. I do recommend this course.

Disappointing Conditions

Norwich has a good variety of holes which usually makes it an interesting track. Greens feature undulation & usually roll well. Despite the wet & cool summer the course is in relatively poor condition at the moment. Many of the greens had fringe or surrounding rough suffering from rot / disease/ burn out / unkept areas. The rough was spotty on many holes with conditions ranging from bare compacted dirt to short grass to thick crab grass. Greens featured many unrepaired pitch marks, bunkers were thin with many small rocks. Mid day watering of the greens interrupted play making an already slow round unbearable at times. Overall very disappointing conditions.
