Some excellent holes especially 11-16 where precision off the tee is more important than distance. Greens were very slow and quite bumpy but it's winter so not unexpected really. The whole round was, however, spoiled by the pace of play. We followed a large society and had to wait to play on every hole.

Wensum Course longer than the Valley course with good drives and very good approach shots needed to get you anywhere near close to the green. Bit of work taking place on the course but this would be expected for the time of you. A few holes play along by the River Wensum with lots wildlife around. Tight fairways on a few holes on the course so not always a driver off the tee. This course could be a long walk if you are carrying so would recommend a trolley (powered) or maybe even a buggy if you intend to play this course a couple of times over 3 days or so.

Wensum main course was tiered not in good condition we were told there had been a problem with the sprinkler system installed even so fairways were poor and the ruff untidy So bad that the second time we played it we agreed to pick and place through the whole course

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.

As the other course bare patchy fairways with lift and place. Greens again the same not running true. With the lack of rain in the area unfortunately there's not much you can do unless you can water fairways high is impossible. Perhaps best to play these two courses let Spring

The fairways were very dry and bare of grass in places. Lift and place in summer was actioned because of the dry bare earth on fairways. The greens didn't run true but I think they had been holotined recently. Could have been a lot better

Nice course, the shorter of the two. Not a Hughes amount of water which is a refreshing break from the Wensum

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.

The facitities offered were good, buggies good value. The course was playing quite difficult as the fairways were very dry and mainly lined with pine trees. if you played a shot off line there was not a lot stopping the ball running underneath them. Greens were not bad but not very receptive.

If I had one complaint it is that the sat nav distance finder was not picking up this is usual at this course so I think the course should have more distance markers along the side of the course in the form of posts. Other than that it was a pleasing experiance

The course is pleasant without any memorable holes. It was not particularly challenging but a pleasant and gentle round. Once again due to the time of year and weather conditions, the fairways were hard and patchy.

The fairways are forgiving and not particularly challenging. Because of the time of year and the weather, they were extremely hard and fairly worn. The greens were fine, Overall a pleasant course.

Can be frustrating as a good drive can find itself rolling down the slopes into the trees. Try to be below the pin as the sloping greens take no prisoners

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.
