Its one of my favourite courses and we get good rates there as a guest of a member only £22 per round. downside is tee off after 10am and that means 4.5-5 hr rounds a bit slow!
The course keeps you thinking but I have had my 2 alltime best round there both about 80!

A booked this course using the Saver Golf facility on the Today Golfer website and got a price of £18 so the value for money rating is maybe more praiseworthy than it should be.
The course was in excellent condition, considering that we were playing at the beginning of February, with only a couple of tee boxes that required you to play from mats and the couple of temporary greens that made the Alps look flat !
The holes are generally challenging and some course management is required (one of my playing partners used a 9 iron followed by a wedge on one of the par 3s to avoid plirting with the stream protecting the green, a good move as it turned out). It is a long walk between some of the holes and this could be an issue for any bag carriers.
Other than the temporary green the major disappointment was the lack of a driving range. I am given to understand that a few years ago they decided to put a gym on top of what was their range. They have a proactice, bunker, green and a par 3 course so a range seems an obvious omission.
The club house facilities are excellent with a moderately well stocked pro shop.
I will be returning in the summer to see the course in its full glory.

Great Course, Great facilities, Great setting. I like this course. Have a lot of testing holes which you have to think about your shot a lot. Played some of my best golf here. Not played the sister course 'The Essex' yet but heard it is just as good. Can prove to be expensive but they accept 2-4-1 vouchers after a certain time which adds to the pleasure. Try at least once

Fantastic golf course spoilt a bit by the focus of the club shifting from golf to leasure and fitness. Whilst the course is maintained to a very high standard, the clubhouse has got rid of all but a fraction of the pro shop, and seems to be moving away from the traditional golf club. With that in mind, the bar is OK and the changing facilities not bad.
The course is superb to play, from the lovely sloping 4th with its tough approach from the valley to the green, to the lovely 16th Par 3 - can't say I've laid up on many par 3's before! The tee's are normally in very good condition, the greens are well kept and true.
I would recommend the course to anyone, I would hesitate before doing the same for the club as a whole.

been a junior member here now for little over two years and have enjoyed every round since. beautiful course with some tricky holes, very easy to lose yourself in a round of golf here but if your really looking for a challenge then this is the championship course to play. could do with a better driving range but it will do but apart from that a superb place to learn and to play week in week out. if you can play well here then you know that you are good!

Good challenge for golfers of all skills, some open fairways, some tight tree lined holes and short tricky par 3's. Well worth a visit and the long par 3 over the river is a B***h.

Tidy track, very friendly club
Course is challenging but always interesting. A few too many tight tree lined fairways at times but very good greens and overall presentation was above average. The club and members seem very friendly, welcoming and with some nice food and drink options to round off the long and hilly walk. Well worth a go.Reviewer Rating

Best greens I have played so far this year, course in very good condition for the time of year, staff at reception the bar and the half way hut were very nice and friendly. Would probably join the club if I lived nearer. Bit annoying though when your putting and a green keeper keeps mowing around the green, but didn’t spoil the day. Would like to play in the summer when the trees are in bloom.Reviewer Rating
