I played the links course in winter, and due to the amount of snow in previous weeks the course was very wet. The course is quite flat and open and in dry conditions would be a good scoring course.

i agree with all previous comments stay away from the links course and play the lakes course. overall the lakes does provide some great challenges for the golfer that enjoys strong winds and tackling well placed ditches for anyone who tees off around the 200 yd mark.
greens are improving but head this warning they play very fast nothing like the practice putting area.

Links course - really poor condition. Doing 'twilight deal' at £12 which is cheap but still not worth it

Links course is absolutely crap. Not worth playing at all. Even for beginners. Don't do it. Lakes course is good though. Greens need work.

This review is purely for the Links Course - extremely poorly kept course. Bunkers full of water, patchy and bumpy greens and the fairways were riddled with puddles - should have been advised that it wasn't worth a penny to play on!!

The Lakes course more than makes up for any disappointment with the Links course and is well worth the effort of playing. Fantastic Greens, Great layout and yes it is difficult but if you enjoy a challenge and dont blame the course for your scoring then you will definitely come back!

Could not believe how poor the Links course. But the Lakes course is better than average and the greens are good. But that Links course is just so unkept. We played in a group of 20 players of various levels and was so disappointed on the first day of 3 when met with this course. To sum it up we spent 3 days playing at 5 lakes and never saw one green staff the whole time. Just play the Lakes course people

Played the links course for £34 on a Sunday morning. The rough was challenging and overal the course wasn't too bad but not too challenging. The greens however were a disaster. I am a member of Colchester and so maybe spoilt but the greens were very patchy. £34 to play this course was a rip off compared to other courses in the area.
