The hotel and golf courses were pleasant. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the meals represented good value for money. However the decor and lighting are tired and the overall impression is rather gloomy. Our room was a really good size but the lighting was abysmal and extremely inadequate in the bathroom. The overall impression was outdated and tired. The corridor outside the room needed a good vacuum but this did not happen once during our four day stay. Overall if you are looking for a good value break without any bells or whistles, this venue would be a pleasant choice.

Just back from a very relaxing weekend at the Wensum Valley Golf and Country Club. The Ritz it ain't but for the money, we were all delighted with the setup and the stay. The hotel, though a little tired, is clean and comfortable. The food however, is outstanding and the 'carvery' on Saturday night superb. Alongside the two courses, The Valley and The Wensum are a real test for all abilities as it was for our party [hcps 6 - 28]. Also has a first class, well stocked pro shop with a very helpful team of people.

Better than the Valley Course and despite the rain the Greens had held up well although a bit bumpy. Some nice challenging holes on the back 9 where you need to think about what club you need to hit to avoid the water. As with the valley course, for nearest the pin and longest drive markers we had to carry them so for a society day out, they don't really cater for making it a welcome experience.

Very disappointed with this course and the staff in the club shop. There had been a lot of rain that morning and the day before and i know that can't be helped, but when asking in the club shop how the course was playing he responded "a bit wet in places, but its the best draining course in the area so playing well" On asking for a couple of holes for nearest pin, he recommended them. I asked if they would take the markers out, they said no, we would have to carry them. On heading out to the course there were 15 / 18 temp greens that he failed to mention. We also reserved 2 buggies and understand they couldn't go out because of the weather, so 2 of our group asked for trolleys and were told to come and get them before they tee off as we were having lunch first. On going to get the trollies, they had all gone. This resulted in one of our group not being able to finish the round due to his back with having to carry and he was unable to play the following day - A little care and attention from the staff make a big difference to the experience and has now resulted in us never returning to this golf course. Temp greens were also a rough patch of fairway that were patchy grass and mud - again, a bit of care to rope these areas off when not in use would help protect the temp greens.

The only reason I wasn’t impressed with the greens was that it looked like they had only just worked on them to get them ready. So the aerated holes were still visible and it was tough to put round and over them. The back nine of this course if a real challenge.

Apart from a large group of 24 holding us up hugely on the back 9, the Valley course proved very popular with all our group. A good test for all abilities like ours [hcps 6 - 28]. Wensum was slightly disappointing. Some of the fairways were in poor nick and the greens had just been top dressed with sand. The holes around the water section 11 - 16 were difficult to navigate. Overall, Valley 7.5/10; Wensum 6/10. Pro Shop staff 10/10

Everything was good. A little slow, but worth the wait at times. It was a very busy day on the course. Unfortunately our last group out on the course were getting abuse from their following group about the speed of play; which had filtered down through all of our seven groups from in front. In general we all loved the course.
