Lovely course
The Essex County Course is long and I mean long. If you're a straight long hitter, then this is the course for you. Unfortunately the recent scorching weather had ravaged at least 4 of the greens, making putting a challenge. Have played this course before when it was in much better condition. Hopefully it'll return to it's full glory in the Spring.(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 103 Handicap: 24.3)

Needs attention
Long, flat course with water in play on most holes. Rough generally isnt too penal and fairways are wide, but there are strategic fairway bunkers scattered around. You need to hit driver on most holes or your second shot will be lengthy. A few dog legs mostly to the left so a good course for lefties. Not easy for a higher handicapper with a fade/slice though. Bunkers are bare, need more sand in them and a lot of the greens are bobbly, the most unrepaired pitchmarks ive ever come across, not sure why this is? Not the toughest course if you are a power hitter but a real slog if you are short off the tee. Can be quite slow pace of play some days. Decent winter course though. Holds up well in wet weather.Reviewer Rating

Pleasant course
Considering how dry it has been thought the course was in good condition . Greens very true . I played when the course was empty and I was a little confused which way to walk to the next tee a couple of times . I am not a long hitter this was worried as course may be too long for me at 6900 yards . As weather has made the fairways so dry it did not feel long . Maybe a long course in the winter . I am considering joining as like the Garden course and thought in winter could do nine holes on the County Course and nine on the Garden .Reviewer Rating

The course was in great condition with quick greens. The rough was tricky due to the fallen leaves.

Very good round and played after 4.00pm so was only £15. Course in good condition, but water in every bunker even though it had not rained that day, service was ok but could be better.
