Wensum Valley Golf and Country Club

Set in 350 acres of Norfolk countryside, Wensum Valley Golf and Country Club is an easy, fuss-free option for a UK golf break, with three courses on-site and a hotel you can walk back to after your round. Better still, you're only about 15 minutes from Norwich and within easy reach of the Norfolk coast if you fancy a change of scenery.

The star billing goes to the Wensum Course, a PGA EuroPro Tour host that asks you to plot your way around proper parkland golf. Trees tighten up the driving lines, water comes into play at the wrong moments and the bunkering is placed to catch anything slightly lazy. If you're travelling with mixed handicaps, the Valley Course is the friendlier option, with more breathing space from the tee and a layout that still rewards decent iron play. There's also a nine-hole loop for a warm-up, a quick extra spin, or settling any post-dinner grudge matches.

Off the course, you've got a solid leisure set-up including an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym, plus fishing and clay shooting for groups who want more than just 36 holes and a pint. All in, it's a strong pick for societies, pairs and corporate groups who want variety, comfort and straightforward logistics.

Who is this for?
Golfers and groups who want an easy Norfolk break with on-site golf, hotel comfort and a pool for post-round recovery.

Who is it best for?
Societies and mixed-ability groups who want two proper 18-hole options, plus a nine-hole add-on and a few off-course activities.

Golf Courses at Wensum Valley Golf and Country Club

Wensum Course

The Wensum Course hosted the 2011 YourGolfTravel.com European Championship and in doing so became the only course in Norfolk to have hosted a PGA Europro Tour event. Unsurprisingly then this challenging golf course requires powerful and accurate hitting from the tee. The high quality putting greens are well protected by numerous water hazards and the course is also exposed to the elements meaning the wind can play a big part in your battle with Old Man Par.

Valley Course

More so than the Wensum Course the Valley Course requires accuracy from the tee as extremely penal rough awaits any misplaced shots. A common feature as Wensum Valley is the top class putting surfaces so hitting the greens in regulation should give the golfer a chance to score well by holing putts.

Accommodation at Wensum Valley Golf and Country Club

The hotel has 90 en-suite rooms overlooking the surrounding countryside. They're practical, comfortable and ideal for golf groups, with complimentary Wi-Fi, direct-dial telephones and flat-screen TVs, plus enough space to get kit dried out and ready for the next day. Don't expect boutique luxury, but do expect a clean, well-run base that does the job between tee times.

Food & Drink

The Valley Restaurant is the main dining room, with big windows looking out over the estate. Menus lean seasonal, with a rotating specials board, so you'll usually find a couple of local or time-of-year options alongside the reliable crowd-pleasers. It works well for breakfast before an early tee time and for a relaxed dinner when the scorecards have been put away. Expect hearty options that suit golfers coming off the course, from traditional mains to lighter plates if you're pacing yourself across multiple rounds.

If you'd rather keep things informal, the bar is open throughout the day for light bites and drinks. It's a sociable spot for groups, with pool, darts and full-size snooker tables, plus Sky Sports on screen when you want to follow the golf or football. The atmosphere stays relaxed and easy, making it simple to mix with other groups or keep to your own corner.

Leisure Facilities

You've got an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and spa pool for a proper soak after 18 or 36 holes, as well as a well-equipped gym. For a bit of variety, the venue also offers fishing and clay pigeon shooting, and there are conference facilities for corporate days and team weekends. If you're planning a society trip or a corporate outing that needs to blend golf with a bit of business, Wensum Valley handles it without feeling too formal.

Wensum Valley sits just outside the town of Taverham, a 15-minute drive from Norwich and easily reached via the A47. If you're travelling by train, Norwich Station is the nearest stop, with taxis or car hire available for the short onward journey to the club.

We had a great time all in all, however we all felt that the rooms and the facilities that we used felt alittle dated. The snooker room was very dark and dingy. Staff were ever so friendly food was good. Bearing the above in mind we still felt we got good value for money.

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.
