Nice greens
Nice greens watered still looking green . Short course couple of holes have trees in front of the greens so you need to hit high shots to get over the trees or go under. Long walk to the 10 tee.Reviewer Rating

Fantastic!
Forrester Park plays beautifully from the whites — a true test of ball striking. Fair but challenging layout, especially around holes 3 and 16. Greens roll true, clubhouse is top class.”Reviewer Rating

Tight holes.guarded by trees
Frist 9 mature parkland, the second 9 more open. This had an easy walk with some undulating fairways. Tight fairways and fairway bunkers some hidden ponds & ditches. 90deg dog legs 7th par 5. Some holes guarded by trees.So, course management comes into play.Some fairways were a bit suffering in places, greens & bunkers were in good condition. Some long walks from green to tees.
Friendly staff, pro shop, paid over the bar One Driving Nets, Putting Greens, driving range

Greens had been sanded - would've been nice to know that in advance to be honest - I guess they'd been expecting rain.
Some blind holes over tree lines which are a little confusing, otherwise a tight course offering decent value for money.

A good layout with a few interesting holes, wasn't at its best as -4 temps made fairways & greens frozen which lead to some amusing bounces. Having said that have played here in summer & is a very good course. Members & staff very friendly & helpful, my friend is very interested in membership here.

First Time playing at Forrester Park
~Six of us at this Tuesday club round.Course in very good condition considering we have had a lot of rain over the past few weeks. Friendly sociable service and good food.
Old school in terms of layout and some very interesting holes, particularly the tree holes of the 8/10/12 which as a first timer were challenging. Enjoyable round.

Friendly staff and lovely breaky. The course is playing well in the most horrific weather recently fairways kept well Greens are as always the best kept part of the course. T Boxes are the only thing that lets the course down. Temporary Mats on four holes hoping to give T Boxes some relief. Overall most enjoyable round of golfReviewer Rating

a new course for us
This was my first time playing Forrester Park. It started easy with straightforward level holes but as the round progressed there were a few holes where we couldn't see where the green was. At the 8th the green is behind a row of trees and on the 10th the fairway is on open ground shared with the 18th hole. Although they are separate fairways the slope of the ground and the "not very obvious" 10th green makes for uncertainty with new players.Reviewer Rating

Brilliant Condition, a new favourite
Hadn't necessarily heard of the club but have played 4 times this year and have loved every visit. Greens have remained some of the best in Essex in all conditions and the rest of the course including the fairways is well kept. Some of the tees need some work, had some mats down in Winter. But would thoroughly recommend if you haven't been before.Reviewer Rating
