Don't forget your Driver
Deceptively long course, if you don't hit long then second shots into the green are 180+. Not a bad thing as it tests your driving. Greens very well paced, ball rolls lovely. Fairways patchy but thats the same everywhere this time of year. Bunkers could do with some work. A number of holes you have to drive over the previous green, can hold up play.We played twilight and the members refused to let a two ball through at any stage, sometimes we were on the tee with a four ball. Some work to be done here.
Staff very friendly, particularly the pro shop assistant. Bellisima.

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.(Round played: Feb 2018 - Score: 83 Handicap: 11.3)

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.(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 87 Handicap: 12.5)

Bit dissapointted TBF.very flat & open. Plenty of bunkers & well placed trees but not the Braid I was expecting. Just thought it would be more interesting. Ground probably needs more recovery time but cant fault the welcome. Glad we played it tho

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.Reviewer Rating

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.Reviewer Rating

A very well laid out but compact course rewards a good shot and punishes a bad one but not too extreme.

Reviewed May 13 2012
Played the course on Saturday 12 May 2012 with a member. Quite a friendly club. The grass had been left quite long in all areas, probably because of the heather rain over the past couple of weeks. Still playing in quite good condition. Interesting holes which, although they are quite close together, all seem separate. Lots of mature trees and different features on most holes. Well worth playing again.

Me (H 15) and my wife (H 29) played Colchester on 5th June. Pro was very friendly and club facilities are OK. Greens were a bit lush and slow in places, and quicker in others so a bit frustrating. Otherwise the course is in very good condition and a fair challenge - if a little short. The Par3's though are a good test.
We played on a 2-4-1 voucher so ended up as £21 per person which is good value. Would not have been good value at £42 per round each!

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.)
