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!

Love the course but it does need some sand in the bunkers plus it would be great if they had some system to indicate where the flags are (front, middle, back) as there are few holes where you are playing uphill and can't see the green.Course (layout/challlenge)

Nice course and in great condition. Plays longer than the card suggests as it felt you're foreverwalking up hill !! A bit of overnight rain as well. Greens and fairways in great nick. Bunkers well sanded too. Will definitely come back here.

Reviewed Aug 11 2021 by Andy T - rated 4 out of 5 Great Course and Service
It's a great club, there is no doubt. The layout is challenging without being savage so every standard of golfer can play to its particular charms. There were seven players today of varying degrees of talent and all bar none enjoyed the experience even if the golf was not that productive. On the days previous there had been a lot of rain so some fairways were a little sodden but efforts were made by the excellent team over there to lessen the impact. Overall really enjoyable.Course (layout/challlenge)

I have played this course for nearly 40 years and it’s sad to see the decline in standards.Everything from course condition to staff hospitality is now poor.
The greens dry, the aprons need repair and seeding and most tees are bare and uneven
