What the club says: We play on the Chingford Golf Course. It is the oldest course in Essex, dating back to 1886 and believed to be designed by James Braid. The original layout was different. It once spread all the way to the Epping New Road and some of the old teeing areas can be found behind the Warren Wood Pub.

This is a public course, situated on common land. It has been managed by the Corporation of London for over 120 years. We are one of three clubs who are based on the course and who enjoy regular tee times in order to play weekly competitions and matches against other clubs.

Value for money

This course is well worth a visit especially on a weekday afternoon. Some tees need a bit of attention. The fairways had a nice amount of grass on them just to give you a cushion under the ball. The greens are reasonably small but were in such good conditions and ran at a decent speed, Even though they are small they are also tricky to read and a 3 putt is always possible. At ?18 for a weekday afternoon you will not find better value for money anywhere else. The scorecard makes some of the holes look short and easy but this is not the case. Holes are tree lined but not too tight. Side slopes need to dealt with, especially after the dry spell of weather. Undulating but walkable. Well worth a visit, plot yourself around and you should have an enjoyable game with a decent score.

Considering the lack of rain we have had, Chingford was in remarkably good condition. It's always tricky and never easy to score low - especially the relatively short par 4s of 4, 5 & 6.

Great greens, slow pace

First visit and reasonably interesting layout. Course was in good condition especially the greens that were fast and true even with the recent wet weather. There were some slow players on the course that was frustrating but certainly good value for money.

A very nice course

Chingford is a very nice parkland course, especially for £10 after 2pm!!
It's a great layout, tight & tree lined in places, which makes you think off the tee, plus a number of holes where you can open your shoulders (as per previous reviews look out for the dog walkers, they are clueless!)
The greens are in superb condition, couldn't comment on the 3 bunkers, I didn't go in one.
If I was being picky it is missing a few bunkers & one or two of the greens are a bit flat & featureless, but that's being really picky.
Overall a superb course, well laid out & in great condition.

Picturesque course in Epping Forest . Narrow fairways on many wholes with unforgiving forest lining the fairway on many holes . The short par4 6th is at a steep angle to the forest on the right and many balls end up in the forest . Lacking in bunkers ) only 3 on whole course )
