Norwood Country Club

Being formed out of swamp, Norwood CC is usually wet and marshy, even with a small amount of precipitation. This summer being extremely dry, the course plays close to what it should. The greens are in worse shape than usual though, with some burnt out areas. Not a bad routing for a course so short and flat. Worth the money I'd say, and I'll be returning, mostly because it's my town course.

Friendly people, dedicated to junior golf programs, organized and a great place to groove your game.

This course used to be a lot nicer! Whoever manages it now has ran it into the ground. In additional to dirt showing everywhere and greens half green and half sand, there are spots on the course that look like a herd of cows licked! This is what incompetent management does to anything and especially to a golf course. If you pay more than $10 to play 18 holes, you are paying too much! It’s that bad!

Honestly your average public golf course. Greens decent. Had been recently punched. Very bumpy. Sparse in some areas. Fairways plush but very bumpy. Not flat. Carts were pretty nice. Had a cart girl , practice greens. Starter was unaware what tee time I was despite asking me multiple times. I realized my obvious pairing was on the tee box already so I had to ask if I was joining them or not. Bar tender wasn’t overly friendly when asked to fill water bottle. Overall. Not a bad course for 40ish dollars. Bit of a shooting range though. Lots of “FOREEE”. Would go back all things considered.

The Norwood people who run Norwood CC should be ashamed of themselves. Grass not mowed!! Aerated greens in JUNE!! No sand spread on the greens to fill the holes. Water drains in the MIDDLE of the greens?? This course is in a populated area, gets tons of play and the owners treat it HORRIBLY!! Golf course management is fairly easy. PLANT GRASS, FERTILIZE IT, WATER IT, MOW IT. Come one guys get your act together.

The course was not in great shape. The obvious was the un manicured grass and dirt patches everywhere. Part of me almost gives them a pass on that but what I can’t get over is (1) the first hole is directly next to the driving range which has a net diving the two, that’s supposed to stop balls from hitting the fairway of the first hole …but it doesn’t. Literally 60 years from the green the fairway is littered with dozens of driving range balls. That’s just unacceptable of you ask me. (2) the pace of play was horrendous. Worst I’ve ever seen. I left after the 11th hole bc there were 3 carts sitting in front of me waiting to tee off.

With just a little more care this place would be fine.
