Course was lovely both Course Marshalls were prepared to have a laugh with the group whilst keeping us in line
Only downer was that the showers were stone cold and as there was two societies there only the front groups of our society got a reasonable shower
Otherwise a very good day

I was a member at Canons Brook until 2006 and still pay there occassionally as my dad is still a member.
In my opinion, the course is one of the best in Essex. It has undergone some significant changes over the last few years; most noticably the 14th (with a changed tee position, large slope to the right of the fairway with out of bounds and the addition of a large water hazard in front of the green which makes the second shot very daunting!) and the 10th, which has been shortened slightly and a brand new green built. I was worried about the changes to the 10th in particular, but the hole has actually improved with the changes.
Although quite a long course, you have to think your way around and can't just bomb shots off the tee - any wayward drive / approach will be punished, which means that there is never a dull moment during your round!
All of the holes present a different challenge, but the last four in particular have got to be up there with the best closing holes around.
The club also has a thriving junior section, with a lot of emphasis on bringing young golfers through the ranks, which will hopefully ensure the future of the club.
The membership is quite expensive at over £1,000 for 7 day, but if you can afford it then there is no other course nearby that I would recommend more.
I was absolutely gutted when I had to give up my membership, but play there whenever I get the chance.
If you enjoy golf, you simply have to play here.

Along with Abridge golf course this is the best golf course ive played in Essex,it can be a little bit pricey at £33 during the week but they do take 2-4-1 vouchers making this the best value golf course by miles, great fairway's and fantastic greens, you will have to be a straight hitter of the ball to score well round here as the fairways can be a bit tight and generally out of bounds left or right its also quite long at over 6500 yards of the yellow tee's with many dogleg hole's, its a course once you played it you can't wait to play it again.

No hesitation to rate everything as very good and would be closer to excellent than good in all areas.
A good, mature course.
Pleasant clubhouse with good service and excellent food.

Great course, you will have to play well to hit your handicap here, most fairways are quite narrow with out of bounds on most holes down the right or left off the tee, the greens are quite quick as-well as being sloped or two tiered, the bunkers always seem to be where you want to hit your ball, this is a course for the thinking golfer rather than the wham bang thank you man golfer, it was a pleasure playing this course and they take 2 fore 1 vouchers during the week, what a bargain, the club house looked fabulous as-well.

Definitely worth a visit
Very enjoyable course to play. Some challenging holes requiring thoughtful Club selection and accurate shots. Despite being wet and boggy in places course in excellent condition. Greens soft and spongy but running very true. Expect them to be very good in summer!Reviewer Rating
