The course was very well maintained and well laid out, much more challenging than before it moved. I had to work hard to score well, but it was a great test of my skills.

Stunning
Everything about the new course is amazing.The course is fantastic and the different tee options means you can play the anything from the Longest course in the county or the shortest - a great idea.
The holes are tough but fun and great run off areas. Some dog legs with bunkers meaning you have to think about shot choice from the tee.
Condition is perfect and it really is a high class venue.
Make sure you factor in some time to hit some balls on the range, every other bay has trackman!

The course is currently in great condition. Fairways, rough, bunkers and greens all combine to give you the best chance of a great round. Each hole has a distinct character and for my game the bunkers were extremely well placed, I ended up in six of them. Definitely a course to visit if you are in the area.

Great test of golf. Every hole makes you think and no hole is the same. There is no let up throughout the round with accuracy rewarded. Definitely worth a visit. Club house has a industrial look and feel. Food was good and service friendly albeit they appeared short staffed. This does not feel like a members course, more geared for societies and passing trade.

good new layout
Course layout/challenge The course is very well laid out over a large area, so you never feel like the holes are crammed together. There are 5 sets of tees, which make the length of the course anywhere from the longest in Norfolk to the shortest. Gold (137) and Blue (134) tees are assessed for men only, but the remaining 3 tees ? Silver, Black and Red are gender neutral, so assessed for men or women. We played Silver which has a slope rating of 129 for the men.Club and Facilities The clubhouse seemed to be quite large, although we didn't visit all of the facilities. A number of our party of just over 30 golfers, of a wide range of ages and handicaps, commented that the dining area which was in use had a slightly Corporate feel to it. Apparently there is a snooker table, and it was obvious other facilities were being added. The Pro-shop was well stocked, but another comment said that the stock was somewhat overpriced.
Value for money This was our corporate Spring Meeting, and as such was probably the most expensive course we have played on my memory, but I don't believe we paid the full standard rate for guests, bearing in mind the size of our party. It's also a long drive for some of our players, who travelled from Liverpool and Manchester to play.
Pace of play Tee intervals are 10 minutes, which spread out the players, but our group started with a couple of 3 balls who caught up with the members 4 balls in front, and so slowed us down. The pace though was generally acceptable.
Friendliness and hospitality Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly and helpful. This included changes to the number of our party, where a few had come down with Covid in the run-up to the event. The organiser was also told that they would be happy for those who had missed out a voucher for another chance to play at the same price.
Course conditions The course itself left a little to be desired. Whilst it was well laid out, there were no tee signs to indicate the shape of holes, or whether there were hidden hazards just out of sight. The tees and fairways were in good order, but there were bare patches around, which the ball would invariably find. A large number of the bunkers were marked as GUR. Not all sprinklers had yardages on them, and for those that did, we were not told whether the distances were to the front or centre of the greens. We worked out from the GPS that they are measured to the centre. The greens themselves were very, very slow, resulting in quite a number of putts left short, so leading to 3 putts. Also, the greens were extremely large (my GPS put one at 51 yards deep). The slopes on the greens made us believe they will be excellent once they have speeded up, but this would probably also mean a decent growth of grass before they can be cut to the right height. I should add that there was no starter in place, so nothing was explained to us before we played.
Practice facilities There were good practice facilities, in the way of a driving range, large putting green, although to be fair only half of this had flags, and I believe I saw an area to practice chipping.
Food and drink The food we had was excellent. Coffee and bacon roll to start, and for those who had breakfast at their hotel, the rolls were made to take away for their round. Lunch was fish and chips, which was very tasty and hot, and delivered to our tables on a rolling basis as we came off the course.
