Work going on a hole was closed due to this and drainage ditches half completed between 3-6 inches deep which rersulted in golf balls constantly going down them losing distance and causing more strokes but the club still had the gall to charge full price despite being a building site .

They have improved this course but it still has a long way to go. Very expensive for such a short course, some of the holes I can throw a ball further!!

Played the Earl Course today - worst course I have played to date may of well played at the local park. None of the tee's are marked - no fairway - greens poor. Not sure what they have done in a year (see post 28/10/07). If I come again will play Duke course which is supposed to be better!
Facilities very good shame they do not spend more on the course.

Reviewed Feb 18 2008
Played 5 holes on Sunday before returning to the clubhouse and demanding my money back. Temp tees and temp greens neither of which had been mown in at least a week if im generous. Par threes were as short as 40 yards. Very poor excuses made when i complained but they did refund my money eventually. I respect what they are trying to achieve and have long said that they need to take the greens out of use but what they have put in as substitutes were no better than playing on a football pitch. Dont be tempted by the £10 green fee, you can get the same quality course for nothing at your local recreational ground. Must try harder.

Where did the bunkers go?!
Ironic that first tee was off limits as it was being reinvigorated only to find that every bunker bar about three had been filled in on the course since I was last here. Greens okay, but spiked. Fairway grass not great and those drainage channels are a nightmare, as always. Worse still was the standard of the ground that used to be bunker was so poor. Slope rating must be reviewed, surely. Course was all but empty on a Wednesday pm roundReviewer Rating

This used to be a lovely short course but for some strange reason they have decided to fill in all the bunkers. How you can have a golf course with no bunkers is beyond me. Whilst I have regularly played the course for the last 5 years, I will be looking for some where else to play.

We play most Wednesday?s on the East course, it has been waterlogged for much of the year so far. This week ( 3/4/24) they introduced temporary tees, by strimming an area in front of the proper ones. Not ideal when trying to play your tee shot.
Then they have the cheek to put up the senior rate to ?18 for a round.
Why don't they wait until the course is actually playable before putting prices up.

Starting to look overpriced
As a nomadic golfer, I have played The Rayleigh Club's east course on many occasions over the years. It's mainly for the pay and play brigade or players that find 5,500 yards plus to much.It's a decent test and has generally been in ok condition, but over the last couple of times I've played it, the greens are showing a far bit of wear and tear and are very bumpy. Now I guess you get what you pay for. But given a midweek round has gone up from ?15 pre pandemic (which was about right), to now ?20 it's looking overpriced for what it is. I know clubs have to make back their lost revenues, but they also need to take into account the quality of the course, otherwise sooner or later people are going to take their business elsewhere.
