Super friendly staff and members, had plenty of available carts , you will need one , great course , greens superb , even though it looks flat in the Essex countryside , it is long and has some lovely holes , great bar area. Reviewed Dec 8 2021 by A Golfer - rated 4 out of 5 Refreshing different
Being an inland links course, it was refreshing different from playing a conventional parkland track. Reviewed Oct 29 2021 by Pete H - rated 4 out of 5 Wide open. And great value
Fed up of hitting trees. This seemed an antidote. Only to lose more balls in 1 round than last 4. Rough unforgiving. There?s water around too. Great challenge when the wind blows. Can?t wait to returnCourse (layout/challlenge)

Basically it's a big field.They are trying to improve it by putting in new bunkers which obviously costs a lot of money but they also need to plant more gorse to make it a proper golf course.Cost is ?15 on weekdays and I think that tells you a lotCourse (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jun 15 2021 by Steve G - rated 3 out of 5 Interesting challenge
First time playing on a links type course, so wasn't sure what to expect. A fairly open track, with a good mix of par 3's, 4's and 5's, with the signature island hole providing a bit of fun. The course is long in comparison to it's yardage, so decent drives are paramount. The greens were very slow, due to their springy condition. The only other gripe, no scorecards were available at the pro shop.Course (layout/challlenge)
