One of my regular courses which i enjoy playing on,shame we have had 2 long delayed early morning tee offs in the last 2 weeks.this is frustrating to not only my group but many other early morning members.the course has been opened and played in worse conditions in recent years.other courses that are not far from here dont seem to have these problems and manage to get members out on time.

Two very different courses, would like to play it again and not immediately after Greens maintenance work. Was disappointed as the necessary greens work had rendered them very slow and bobbly. The Wensum course has a few really good holes, I will return to play it.

Lovely course but the condition of the greens and bunkers was poor. Putts were regularly jumping 6 inches in the air! But some lovely holes, spoilt by a l back of care/maintenance

If you want to play golf with lovely views in the wensum valley then this is worth a visit. The greens are very testing with most of the pins situated on crowns on what are quite difficult to read surfaces at the best of times!

First time I have played wensum valley. I'm a fairly new golfer playing about 18 months.played the wensum course. Found the second cut long and the sand hard and very stoney ( looked like builders sand) and on one of the sand traps the sand was so hard I couldn't get the rake in the sand after I hit my shot. When you get to the holes where they are surround by water you have to be very accurate (they owe me 6 balls) which killed my round. The last 9 holes are very long but greens are lovely. Good course but could be a brilliant course if they kept it better.

not a short course and several holes are made more difficult by cambered fairways. The REAL difficulty is the greens... massive and VERY slopey, added to a dry spell, this means you think yuo've hit a very good shot onto the front of the green with a short iron, expecting it to bite and then release towards the hole, only to find that it runs in an arc right the way through 50 -100 feet off the green , only to be stopped by the 2nd cut of rough! nightmare.

Played this course on the last day of our Captain's Weekend away. It's fairly tight (lots of water) so we should have played it earlier in the visit and finished with the easier Valley course!
As with the Valley course, greens were quite slow, though not as slopey as Valley. Bunkers were again rough and could do with stones being cleared and the sand being loosened up or topped up where it is too shallow.
Off the yellow tees it is NOT over 7000 yards, but trust me you will be able to tell you've played a long course, and sometimes it's hard work just to figure out how far it is to the landing zones for some of the tees shots.
Overall I enjoyed it and would like to play it again, but most of our party would not (I was the only one not to lose at least 1 golf ball)!

Reviewed Sep 11 2012
Played this course as part of our Club Weekend away, staying in the Hotel, so relaxed standing on the first tee. Course itself is good. Greens were quite slopey, so they can't let them get too fast or they would be too difficult to deal with. Bunkers were the biggest problem - very little sand in them and lots of stones, and in some cases weeds! Never saw a greenkeeper the whole 3 days we were there so you have to wonder about whether they are keeping on top of the work needed. Overall impression was favourable, but can't comment on prices because we were on a 3 round, 2 night package.
