Swaffham Golf Club

It was my first time playing this course and I was really happy to find how beautiful, how peaceful and how well everything was laid out.

Even though the course was extended from a 9-hole course originally you really do not get the feeling anything is crammed in. Each hole has room to play.

The only reason I give 4-stars to the “layout” is because there is a practice area but you need to drive to it (not that far), which does seem a little disjointed from my typical experience. But once you’re there the practice area is still part of the course and you don’t feel removed.

We hired a cart which was £30 for the round, and it was really well liked after and was a nice treat in the some great weather.

If you’re walking you may want to bring some snacks as there is no half way house as such but the turn is alongside the clubhouse. It will depend on pace of play to whether you can nip in for refreshments or not.

The course is clearly well looked after. There are some great challenges all over the course, and a lot of the greens that are complex in design. I’m relatively new to golf (around 18-months) and it was a welcome step up in challenge from my home course.

The gorse bushes await.

All in all this was a superb experience and will definitely find my way back here at some point.

My first time at Swaffham and really enjoyed my day. The Pro was very helpful with information. I used the practice facilities before my tee off and everyone were very polite and I felt very relaxed. The course was fantastic, challenging but very enjoyable. Each hole had its differences but none were stupidly difficult. I chattered to some members whilst playing who were great and I'm looking forward to my next round which will be shortly, many thanks.

A lovely course in good condition and with friendly staff 👍

Really enjoyable 18 holes of golf on a tree-lined parkland course. Fairways and greens were all good. Good pace of play. Each hole is in a wide space of land, so even though the course was busy, you could not see or hear anyone else when playing.

Great course with helpful staff and fantastic facilities.

Very warmly welcomed in the pro shop, had a nice conversation about other courses in Norfolk! Very impressed with the course, layout was fantastic through woodland, greens were very receptive that rewarded a good putt/chip. We let a 2 ball through who then proceeded to hold us up for a few holes ( they didn’t know the rule that if you are let through by a four ball, you move quickly! ) The course surpassed my expectations, set in a lovely setting and well looked after, very friendly and knowledgeable staff in the pro shop.

Lovely course with a good range of variety of holes. Course was in excellent condition.
Staff were friendly and hopefully. Gave good advice on the course.
Clubhouse had a relaxing atmosphere which was just right after 18 holes.
Definitely go back again

Swaffam did not disappoint and was a joy to play the 18 holes without any hold ups.
The first 6 holes were undergoing some ground works but this was to help the drainage and completely understandable.
The remaining holes and greens were in great condition for early April and can be a positive fit the coming Spring summer season

Thank you Swaffam GC
