One of the best in Essex

Simply one of the best in the county. Not particularly long but very tricky set up. Wonderful greens. Tee boxes very tidy. Will be looking great when the weather improves. Definitely considering joining.

Lovely old Golf Course

Lovely true - fast greens. Some parts of the fairways were quite dry. The tee's are in great condition and the course was a delight to play.

Marvellous Golf Course

Very well established course (1907). Definitely a thinkers course. There had been a deluge the night before but was still in fantastic condition. Greens were quick but true, fairways were running pretty well. Plenty of interesting holes. Staff were helpful and attentive.

The best in Essex

Finally found a great course in Essex. Immaculate greens and tee boxes. Fairways decent, not sure the fairway yard ages were accurate. A difficult course that puts a premium on putting the ball in the right place.

Very nice

Course is still recovering from this years drenching. Fairways were a bit fluffy, rough was very tough to get out of. All excusable. Greens rolled ok but some had recently been tined so a bit bumpy. BUT, this is a quality layout, and I'm sure will be in great nick again soon.
Some very long par 4's given the conditions. Only one of our group of 38 made handicap! (And we're not hackers by any means.)

Outstanding course, best in the area by far. Good golf challenge and impressed by bar and food offered. We paid twilight fee of £25 after 3pm (£15 for 9 holes) which was great value and whizzed round. Perfect for after-work golf or slipping off early from the office. Just don't tell the boss!!
