What the club says: Frinton is a seaside course that provides a fine test of golf. At 6,265 yards, Frinton is not excessively long by modern standards and, at first glance, the open fairways with their lack of trees may seem unchallenging, but this is certainly not the whole story. The fast, firm, undulating greens test the best putters.
Tidal ditches cross many fairways requiring accurately placed shots. The trademark of the links course, the ever-changing sea breeze, demands careful club selection on every hole.
Frinton Golf Club was founded in 1895 and can look back on a distinguished past as well as looking forward to an exciting future.
The Long course has been renamed as The Havers Course. The 9 hole Short course is called The Kirby Course.

Typical tough links course. Fairway on 7 was like a ploughed field and would have appreciated a warning from the pro shop before hand. Other than that it was enjoyable(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 102 Handicap: 18.1)

Reviewed Jan 25 2019 by Paul W - rated 4 out of 5 Great course, with problems
Unfortunately it was frosty on the day so we had temp greens (or holes in the fairway). However, they have a pretty major issue with about four of their fairways due to incorrectly mixed clover killer being used. This has completely ruined these fairways and they'll be a long time getting them back to decent condition.That said this is an historic layout and a great challenge for all levels. The clubhouse staff and very friendly and welcoming. (And very apologetic for the state of their course)
I hope they overcome the fairway issue because this is a great course.

We play there every year in the Christmas holidays, normally it is dry apart from the second hole, this year six fairways were in terrible condition with a lot of water on them. The greens were woolly and slow certainly not up to there usual standard. A lot of work will now be needed with the courses drainage. The club house and the changing rooms have now been upgraded and looks really good, staff are as friendly as ever. Hope the course improves for the future as i normally tell people how good it plays in the winter months.Course (layout/challlenge)

First visit. Great course. By the sea with the wind blowing, proper golf. Greens in excellent condition for the time of year. Clubhouse staff very welcoming and accommodating. Club Pro very friendly. Changing rooms and other parts of the clubhouse recently refurbished to a high standard. Rest of clubhouse very traditional with an almost 1920's feel in the architecture and fittings. But the club is clearly one in the 21st century.(Round played: Jan 2018 - Score: 99 Handicap: 15.7)

Played New Years eve, well drained as had a lot of rain, greens good as ever but it looked like they had trouble with the fairways getting burnt in the summer as all the high spots did not have grass but probably be in hand for the spring. Friendly as ever with good facilaties and had the men's changing area refurbished which is really good.(Round played: Dec 2017 - Score: 79 Handicap: 5.1)
