Pine lined and picture perfect
Lovely course which is incredible value as well as a solid test for good golfers. Plenty of tough par 4s but also some lovely par 3s including no 16 which could easily remind visitors of a more illustrious Surrey or Berkshire layout. A good Norfolk piece of hospitality always awaits too.(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 87 Handicap: 10.2)

For the final day of our Norfolk trip we ventured to Thetford GC. We had been trying to decide between Kings Lynn GC and Thetford and plumped for Thetford based on personal reviews we had been given. Upon hearing that the two courses were similar, we opted for Thetford on the understanding that it’s more welcoming and a fair bit cheaper - and are pleased we did so.
Thetford is a heathland style course, although the day we played the course was burnt to a cinder by the long dry spell of weather – as a result all the fairways were firm and completely brown. The greens however were absolutely fine and would hold the well-struck approach shot. The course is long, around 6,700 yds, however this is largely compensated by the relatively generous fairways. If there’s one gripe of the course, it’s the fact it becomes a little monotonous with its length – we felt it would benefit from having a couple of shorter par 4’s in its layout to offer something a little different.
That aside it’s a lovely layout, a trail-style course winding its way through the wooded, heathland terrain. Only a couple of holes run up and down and that we think always makes for a more enjoyable and varied experience. It opens with a tricky mid-iron par 3, never an easy start and another par 3 at the 3rd. Thereafter, you dive into the guts of the course, which as said is notable for its length. The course finishes with an extremely tough, slightly uphill par 4 at around 460 yds !
Everyone at the course was very welcoming to the extent we were able to play as part of the Captains Charity day despite not being affiliated to the club. Overall, it’s a course we would like to visit again in less arid conditions – however, we’d recommend playing here if you have the opportunity to do so.

Fantastic Layout & Good Test
Really welcoming secretary and staff. Had a great round here despite rain of biblical proportions in places today. Course drained really well and remained playable throughout. If you cannot enjoy this course you either so not like golf or you are dead! Will come back again and hopefully be luckier with the weather next time!Reviewer Rating
