What the club says: Norwood Park is rapidly becoming one of Nottinghamshire premier golfing destinations. Both the 18 hole Norwood course (measuring 6805 yards off the back tees) and the 9 hole West Wood PAR3 course (opened April '09) have been designed by Clyde B Johnston, past president of the American Society of golf course architects. He has succeeded in creating two magnificent layouts which blend perfectly with the historic parkland setting of Norwood Park. The courses will appeal to golfers of all standards and the club house, with its enclosed courtyard, will cater for your food and drink needs.

What Golfshake says: One of the most improved courses in the County. Good test of accuracy and control on USGA standard greens.

The Holes

1st Par 4, Pretty straight with quite a wide fairway to aim at but be aware of the bunker to the left halfway down and the others on both sides of the green.

2nd par 4, The perfect approach is down the left as this leaves a nice approach as there's bunkers to the right of the fairway.The greens fairly flat.

3rd par 4, open fairway with bunkers to the far right. Be aware that the green is surrounded with bunkers.

4th par 5, This hole can be quite tricky as its a dogleg left with water. The perfect shot is slightly right and about 190yrds which will still leave a testing 2nd through a gap in trees and over the water. This nshould leave you with a nice pitch uphill to the green which again has a few turns in it but nothing serious.

5th par 3, Quite straight forward but the the green is very testing with lots of turns.

6th par 5, This holes called zig zag for that reason. It starts with a turn to the right at about 220yrds then a good fairway wood or long iron shot will leave you with a nice pitch to the green. Depending on thepin position the green can be a bit tricky.

7th par 3, A long par 3 with water to the left and out of bounds to the right so be aware.

8th par 4, Water to the left so slightly right of centre is great for your 2nd shot down to the green.

9th par 4, Dogleg left with out of bounds to the left and bunkers to the far right. Bunkers to the left and right of the green.

10th par 4, a straight run to the green with out of bounds to the left. uphill 2nd shot to the green which is pretty flat.

11th par 4, Dogleg right. A good 200yrd drive towards the X marker will leave a niceapproach to the green but be aware if you miss to the rear of the green it could cost you some shots as its steep downhill.

12th par 3, A downhill tee shot to the green where they are currently building up the back of the green so it can be attacked more.

13th par 4, Pretty straight with bunkers right and rough to the left. The green is guarded with bunkers front and right.

14th par 5, Stroke index 1 but if you can stay down the middle i dont think you'll have too many problems.

15th par 4, A lot of rough to the left with bunkers both sides of the fairway. when approaching the green there's a bunker to the front but they're altering the back so it can be attacked more.

16th par 4, This one needs a straight drive as there's rough to the left and the fairway slopes to the right. The green is perfect to be attacked.

17th par 3, Pretty straight forward with bunkers to the left of the green.

18th par 5, The perfect T shot is down the right which will take out the trees down the left for your 2nd shot. Quite a wide fairway to aim at but a few bunkers await you at the green. - Oct 26 2009

My first ever round, went with a friends who's already a member at Norwood.
