What the club says: Hylands Golf Complex was part of the old Hylands Estate in bygone days. Two notable previous owners who lived at the mansion on the Hylands Estate were the Pryors and the Hanburys. It is appropriate that we have named our two courses after them, as they both had an active part in helping shape and preserve the land and local heritage as we know today.

Went for the 2nd time with my 5 year old. Asked for small person borrow clubs and they charged and stated they should have last time. I said this is hardly helping young kids get involved and selling your facility - she didnt care.

Its more expensive than other driving ranges locally.

I will not be returning as I support clubs that support youthg sport.

PS Have played the course previously and it is dreadful. Its a giant rugby pitch with flags.

Reviewed Apr 22 2017

The best part of it was that the round was free as the greens were unplayable. The whole course is unplayable and I left on the 8th. It's such a shame though because the layout of the holes is fantastic. A lot of work and money needed to make it playable, but if it's invested it would be a cracking course.

Never played on such a terrible course, greens are brown with no grass, only weeds. Fairways not cut and very poorly signed. Staff didn't seem to care & definitely no course maintenance going on. AVOID!

I used to play here a lot, it was always in fairly good condition, and it's a well laid out course. I played there on Saturday, and it is almost certainly the worst course in Essex. The "greens" were brown and black, not a living bit of grass in sight. Every single bunker was unplayable, and there was no definition to any of the brown fairways either. The ONLY thing this course has going for it now, is that the layout is still awesome. SOOO much potential, yet SOOO poorly maintained. Wouldn't even pay a fiver to play again.

Faiways need cutting and defining better, bunkers are useless!! Greens need attention. The couse has a good feel and layout however the upkeep ne3ds attention.

Reviewed May 21 2016

I was visiting the area and looking for somewhere to play a round of golf. However I really should have listened to the reviews and not gone to Hylands. I thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt but it really is as bad as others have said. In some areas you can't tell what is rough and what is fairway. And if you're shot is anything other than bullet straight you'll have a job to find your ball in amongst the countless weeds, dandelions, Daisy's and grass that hasn't been cut well at all. The bunkers are a complete mess and as for the greens, slow, bumpy, awful. I will certainly never be returning.

We played the nine hole course on 27 March 2016. It cost £13.50 which is expensive when you see the abysmally poor quality course. It is difficult to distinguish the fairway from the rough - the grass looked like it hadn't been cut all winter and the bunkers resembled big craters with weeds, moss and grass - there was no sand in any of the bunkers. It's no surprise then that the course was empty on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We certainly won't be going back there. The owners obviously don't read the reviews or want to invest money in making the course fit for purpose. Quite frankly, I would be embarrassed to be associated with the complex. It's the worst, I've ever seen.

Reviewed Sep 20 2015

I thought £22 for 18 holes might be OK, as I had consciously not played the course for years for its shocking rough. Teed off thinking the course was in not bad shape until I got the greens. So disappointed. They need a complete relaying to avoid your ball jumping all over the place. I had a few puts going in but then jumping wide.

The bunkers are a disgrace. Total lack of sand. The fairways are in dire need of a decent cut and some of the greens are poor with patches of weeds etc.
