What the club says: Hylands Golf Complex was part of the old Hylands Estate in bygone days. Two notable previous owners who lived at the mansion on the Hylands Estate were the Pryors and the Hanburys. It is appropriate that we have named our two courses after them, as they both had an active part in helping shape and preserve the land and local heritage as we know today.

Went for the 2nd time with my 5 year old. Asked for small person borrow clubs and they charged and stated they should have last time. I said this is hardly helping young kids get involved and selling your facility - she didnt care.Its more expensive than other driving ranges locally.
I will not be returning as I support clubs that support youthg sport.
PS Have played the course previously and it is dreadful. Its a giant rugby pitch with flags.

Never played on such a terrible course, greens are brown with no grass, only weeds. Fairways not cut and very poorly signed. Staff didn't seem to care & definitely no course maintenance going on. AVOID!

Its a long course and is usually windy but i like the layout. You get rewarded for good shots and penalised for bad ones which is what golf is all about.
I do think £26 is a bit steep , £20 would be a fairer price and yes it would be better with a proper clubhouse. The driving range is really good and they have one of the best club fitting set ups in essex.
Overall, an average course , slightly overpriced but a decent test of golf even with the dodgy bunkers.
As for those moaning about the rough, just a suggestion, hit the ball straighter , then you wont find it.

The greens were by far the worst I have ever played on, large patches of brown dirt and very inconsistent speed due to the way they are kept. The practice green is astroturf so is pointless before playing a round. Although you could never practice for greens like the ones they have. There is also a mini golf course which we played for free, although I believe you are meant to pay for it, which is a joke in itself. A fun mini golf course which they should let people play on after the round to make up for how terrible the course is.
There is no bar which is slightly annoying but there is a pro shop that sold the essentials we needed such as tees and pencils, and they also sell some soft drinks and snacks.
One positive: the driving range is good.
2/10, would not recommend. Don't waste your time.

Fairways ok but the greens were not good
Needed water and a cut. A roller wouldn't of gone a miss
Nice use of water around the course
Great for beginners as its open and forgiving

Generally well kept - although if you hit it in the rough then you have 80% of a penalty cos balls just disappear!!!
Greens a very inconsistent, and bunkers are virtually void of sand - mainly rocks and fibreglass matting.
Its £24 a round so i suppose cant expect superb facilities - but shame as if they spent a bit of money on general upkeep would be a good course instead of a fair one.
