Wensum Valley Golf Club

Wensum Valley Hotel Golf and Country Golf Club is set in 350 acres of beautiful Norfolk countryside and is home to two exquisite courses. Generally regarded as the No 1 layout, the Wensum is a long and extremely challenging parkland-style course. It requires a mixture of power and accuracy off the tee in order to reach the greens, with five holes measuring in excess of 450 yards. The Wensum is in great condition all year round thanks to being built on free-draining soil as well as being located in Norfolk, one of the UK’s driest counties.  The 6,922-yard, par-72 course is the only course in Norfolk to have hosted the PGA Pro Euro Tour and is a real test of a your driving skills. The greens are protected by various water hazards that add further complication to this genuine challenge.  The Valley course at 6,223 yards is a shorter parkland layout that is perfect for golfers of all abilities – from beginners looking to take their first steps to experts seeking to sharpen their short-game skills.  Though most of the holes on the Valley are under 400 yards, there are still several 500-yard plus holes that will challenge the ability of any who tackle it.   The on-site hotel provides excellent accommodation and spectacular views for anyone looking for a break that is not only relaxing, but will thoroughly test your game.  Facilities include a driving range at which to work on your game, a bar and a restaurant plus conference rooms. There is also a gym and leisure centre available to all guests.

Top Holes:

Wensum 12th, 316 yards, par 4  The 12th on the Wensum, requires an excellent shot off the tee in order to hold the sloping fairway and set up an easier approach to the small-ish green.  Wensum 16th, 565 yards, par 5   The 16th on the Wensum course is notorious – with  rounds made or broken here. You can’t overpower it at the expense of accuracy as you can easily come a cropper in the trees or the water that lines the fairway.  Valley 18th, 340 yards, par 4  The 18th on the Valley Course isn’t long but can be tricky if you don’t get off to a good start off the tee. You require an accurate second to give yourself a makeable birdie putt.
