I played today as a visitor after 20 years being away. Previously I had been a member for a number of years. I was very impressed, the course and people so much better than what I remember. If I lived close by I wouldn't hesitate to join again.

Very rude and unwelcoming staff. The members are also very judgemental and one had the audacity to ask if we had paid for our round! There is also a lack of signposting throughout the course and the greens are poorly maintained!

Lovely place to have a weekend camping, or in a caravan and explore the Beautiful countryside on the fakenham racecourse with its golf, bowls, horse racing and its Bar with restaurant.

Always a good day out at the Fakenham races, whenever I go. A friendly group of people attend each meeting, sharing their views on the horses running etc. Quite a few vendors who sell hot food and drinks, best cuppa is the hog roast van next to the Long Bar(only 1) there's also roasted almond stall plus hat and clothing stall not forgetting the homemade cake stall. One visitor today commented on availability of ice cream for a family member. There's a good ice cream van on the grandstand and paddock part of the course. If you want a good day out at the races or a flutter, give Fakenham Racecourse

Visited for the Lego Star Wars event. Was cool to see all the models built in one place, although it was a bit on the small side amd quite random having it all laid out in the stables. Hopefully it raised some good money for charity!
