What the club says: Hainault Golf Course actually consists of two 18 hole courses, both are spectacular.
The Upper Course
This course hugs the hillside closest to the country park. The course has tighter fairways and is more hilly than the lower course. Although it is shorter and has a par 70, the upper course is still a very good test and will punish the wayward golfer.
The Lower Course
This course hosted the 2003 Essex Amateur Championships final and was the first pay and play golf course to be awarded such a prestigious accolade. The course is a par 72 and is a very good test of the long hitter, rewarding accurate long tee shots, but punishing poor course strategy, beware not to be tempted to mimic Tiger!

Muddy
Played the upper course for the first time in a few years and while it remains a great layout with some great holes It is becoming a mud bath in places already simply because of the popularity of buggies and the fact that they are allowed in the fairways and around the greens .Reviewer Rating

Great value
This was the first time we'd played Hainault (Upper Course) for over a year, and we had a great day. The course was in good condition, and the Monday offer on buggies is great.Reviewer Rating

Excellent Course
What a fantastic course, greens are in perfect condition. Although they are very busy all week they manage to stick to allocated tee times. They have very lovely staff working in the shop and are always available to helping any customer needs. Any issues that may occur on the course, the staff are very good when handling any situations that may happen on the course. For example people playing 5/6 balls.Reviewer Rating

Has the potential to be a great course, just needs looking after. Bunkers need sand, greens aren't in too bad condition (given thats its a municipal in Jan) but shame idiots in buggeys don't respect the course

Great track spoilt by non golfing regular societies.
If you don’t mind being behind a society that has no idea of etiquette or the rules of golf crack on. 5 hour rounds behind 5/6 ball’s playing from 2 or 3 sets of clubs and they get away with it and are never challenged by the management. Most days around 10ish so stay away around this time or after????Reviewer Rating
