Challenging course but not kept at its best. Staff did not seem very friendly. Shame because it could be a wonderful place.

What a shame. Looking a little the worse for wear - and in need of some care and attention. Not what it used to be.
Staff were not exactly welcoming.

Slightly disappointing. Remember it much better from a few years ago, but it is looking a little scruffy around the edges. Unfortunately the staff were a little rude which didn't help.

I played at your course 17/08/24 tee time booked at 12.30 as a two ball.

I have had this course on my wish list for some time and I was glad that I managed to get a tee-time for the above weekend.

I booked the tee-time approximately a week in advance with no indication of any course maintenance being carried out the week prior to my round.

The club states that it’s a premier course with first class facilities.
I couldn’t fault the pratice range, chipping area , putting greens etc…

However, on notifying the pro in the shop that I was due to play he told us that for that day it was green flag position 1.
And duly gave us a card for this.
However on arriving at the 1st tee on the wooden board it stated that it was position 3?

A member of your club, asked if he could play with us due to him being on his own, for which we were happy to oblige. This gentleman stated to us at the 3rd Green that the correct pin position for the round was position 1. This was very confusing as we were told something else by the pro?

As we played the first hole, we noticed that the green had been dressed and subsequently all the following greens were dressed. This was not mentioned by the pro in the shop, nor was it stated on the website that this was carried out on the Wednesday, 3 days prior to our round.

Obviously the greens affected our round, and we believe we should have been made aware of this, and especially for the cost of £125 pp. Had we have been told we would have played at a different club.

I approached the pro after my round and told him my concerns regarding the above mentioned issues. The response I got was “ok thanks for letting me know, the club would take on my concerns and thanked me for raising this.”

I wanted to raise my concerns with you, as we were really disappointed in all of the above mentioned.
The round was definitely not worth the fee paid due to the above issues.

Disappointing

Fabulous looking course, great clubhouse.
But their communication needs work. Failed to tell us that there were some temporary greens and failed to tell us that all there greens had been very recently tined and sanded, which made them almost impossible to putt accurately. Everyone in our group of 12 had difficulty putting.
For the price charged this was not impressive.

now in good shape after major reconstruction in the past 4 years. Based on the old Weston park golf club with a few changed holes.

Last Visit

As this is the last visit by our society, it was somewhat of a sad occasion. The greens were in great order, which cannot be said about the fairways. Many unrepaired divots. However, the clubhouse and the pro shop staff were great, very helpful and friendly.

Country course in city location

This club will move to new location in 2019 - Not many more opportunities to play this established course. Rolling landscape (in Norfolk!) provides good variety of views and challenges. Course in good condition, two new holes in play due to construction work on previous established holes.

Arrived o friendly welcome by staff. When we all assembled the pro went through the course layout which you DO need to pay attention to as the first half criss- crosses holes on the way around so be warned. Testing course which requires you to place the ball in the right part of the fairway. Greens not always easy to hit and once on demand concentration. The course was in good condition for our round. Crossing the busy road is a bit hair raising to access both parts of the course. That aside well worth a visit we enjoyed it. Bar and food also good.
