Went back to Thetford on Monday, after an absence of nearly 25 years, as an interim stop on the way up to Hunstanton and Brancaster. To be honest, I was a bit less whelmed than I hoped or indeed expected to be. The new holes (post by-pass) are now, after 40 years, fully bedded in, but they remain long, flattish and frankly uninspiring with rather monotonous tree lines. The first five and the last five have plenty of heathland vim and challenge, with a much greater variety of surrounding trees, but the middle eight is, in essence, a slog. Bungay the week before was (to me) altogether more fun (and 800 yards shorter, which may answer its own question), as well as barely half the price.
