I do enjoy playing here as i find it relaxing and the new people who have taken it over have improved it but with that comes extra cost and £22.50 at the weekend is a bit over the top when i can play far better courses for less.

The par 5s provide some challenge, but the greens are in need of repair.

This is an interim view because I really like this course. However, the clubhouse is closed at present due to total refurbishment although you can get a beer from the restaurant next door to drink outside. This is OK on a sunny day but I'm not sure what happens if it's raining. Also, on this visit, the greens were the worst I've ever known them and really need some work. As I say I normally rate this course as being excellent value for money and worth a visit for a fun day out but, until the clubhouse is finished and the greens improve, you might want to give it a miss.

Not a bad course, but this is part of a huge complex and it looks like funds are spent elsewhere as some bunkers for example didn't even have a rake

Having not been here for a while and having seen some poor reviews on the internet I wasn't sure quite what to expect. Overall I was pleasantly surprised. The course was in decent nick if not fantastic and the greens were ok with the exception of one where someone appeared to have lit a campfire! Clubhouse is pleasant with views over the lake. As long as you don't expect too much you can have a pleasant round at a reasonable price.

I have played the course on many occasions, it's where I learnt how to play the game so I do have some emotional attachment to the course. However, it is without doubt the worst course in Essex. Dog walkers, runners, people bunking on, geese poo everywhere and less said about the greens the better. But if you are a high handicap player and want to play a course that will not punish you to much then go but be prepared.

The course is still very wet in place with flooding near waters edge and in many bunkers. It's a shame that not all players respect the greens and repare pitch marks as many of the greens are in a bad way.

Have a good par 3 course for praticing those approach shots & putts.
The 18 hole course is better than it was a few years back but not quite there just yet, up & coming though

DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE
U MAINTAINED. no effort has gone into maintenance 0%. The tees are longer than the rough. The fairway is the same level as the rough. The greens are what you expect from a poor fairway. All holes are waterlogged and there is no indication of any of this on their website. I drove up from Ramsgate as I used to play here some 15yrs ago and what a serious waste of time and effort. If there had been any sembelence of what laid ahead I would of run a mile. Avoid like the plague and play Hainault or Risebridge. The only reason I give it an excellent course layout/challenge is because it is impossible to complete a par score on this course. This is without doubt the ****** golf course I have ever played in 30 years of golfReviewer Rating

Gone Downhill
Greens are dead and cracked making serious putting impossible - more hit and hope. This used to be a good option for a fun day's golf - it was never anything like a top course but it was good value. Even though it's still very reasonably priced, it's not good value anymore. Whether it's council cutbacks I don't know, but it's gone seriously downhill. And despite the course being virtually empty, there were no trolleys available due to a lack of handles. I've enjoyed playing this course over the last few years but I won't be going again in a hurry.(Round played: Aug 2019 - Score: 115 Handicap: 26.3)

Disappointing
I used to play this course regularly about five years ago. It is now in an awful condition. The tee’s are mostly overgrown. Ninety five percent of the greens have little or no grass. All have cracks in them due to dry weather. I am not sure if I shall play there again.(Round played: Aug 2019 - Score: 95 Handicap: 17)
