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!

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.

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.

Lewis/Essex rated 1 out of 5
Reviewed May 13 2014
Probably the worst course I have played in Essex, would rather play the Pitch and Putt near the town centre. £26 for a round is absolute robbery, the owners must be laughing. I would pay £10 a round for this course. While it could be good, there are too many negatives, for example: Bunkers do not have sand in them, more of a soil/sand/dirt hybrid full of stones. If you hit your ball just off the fairway, you're in the rough... Not too bad, you might think: Wrong. There is only one cut of rough and it is knee high thick long grass that means you have a 90% chance of losing your ball.
The greens were by far the worst I have ever played on, large patches of brown dirt and very inconsistent speed due to the way they are kept. The practice green is astroturf so is pointless before playing a round. Although you could never practice for greens like the ones they have. There is also a mini golf course which we played for free, although I believe you are meant to pay for it, which is a joke in itself. A fun mini golf course which they should let people play on after the round to make up for how terrible the course is.
There is no bar which is slightly annoying but there is a pro shop that sold the essentials we needed such as tees and pencils, and they also sell some soft drinks and snacks.
One positive: the driving range is good.
2/10, would not recommend. Don't waste your time.

Nice setup to the course but poor quality greens and fairways. Easy to get on the course as it is rarely busy

Chelmsford rated 1 out of 5
Reviewed Jul 13 2013
I have played a number of courses in my life but none as bad as this for what you pay. If it was £10-£15 for 18 holes then I would have been more accepting, however for £26 it was appalling. The fairways were of poor quality and the greens were completely brown. That grass had died some time ago. The whole course looked like it was never watered. Most of my shots to the green that came in high bounced like they were hitting hardcourt and large plumes of dust flew up. The bunkers were not bunkers. The sand in them was minimal and they were full of stones and most of them were pretty much soil. I can understand that renovating the clubhouse may be costly but a coat of paint and filling up the large holes revealing wires would have been good. The carpet was repaired using stips of gaffa tape and the front desk looked like it was held together the same way. There are a number of courses not much further away from Chelmsford that provide course and facilities of a considerably higher quality for the same price or less.

Not that great for £24 more like a £15 course
Fairways ok but the greens were not good
Needed water and a cut. A roller wouldn't of gone a miss
Nice use of water around the course
Great for beginners as its open and forgiving

My local public course so one i play the most.
Generally well kept - although if you hit it in the rough then you have 80% of a penalty cos balls just disappear!!!
Greens a very inconsistent, and bunkers are virtually void of sand - mainly rocks and fibreglass matting.
Its £24 a round so i suppose cant expect superb facilities - but shame as if they spent a bit of money on general upkeep would be a good course instead of a fair one.
