Heard a lot of mixed reviews on this course but I was suitably impressed. The course was well managed & the greens were in good condition. Good value for money & have a good driving range to warm up beforehand. Clubhouse is being developed, so expect further improvements over the coming years!! Will definitely comeback here to play again..

Faiways need cutting and defining better, bunkers are useless!! Greens need attention. The couse has a good feel and layout however the upkeep ne3ds attention.

This certainly isnt the best kept course in essex but people complaining about the rough. Come on its a golf course, the idea is you get punished if you hit a shot off line. As for being only one cut and you're in the rough, wrong there is in fact two cuts. I play this course a lot and have to agree about the bunkers, its not that there isnt any sand in them, theyre just not kept well and the sand becomes compact. The greens themselves vary greatly, in the winter theyre really slow but come the summer they can be near on impossible to stop the ball on. I personally dont mind this as its a challenge but can see why some wouldnt like it, id say its similar to playing on a links course without actually playing one. I dont agree about the fairways , although i do recall earlier in the year they couldnt cut the fairways because of how wet the course was, but as compensation when we played we werent charged for our round which you cant knock.
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.

First time we have played the course in three years and we thought £24 was a bit steep.The greens especially the first were always like carpets when we last played there...Shag pile carpet.When we played today they had improved but were still incredibly slow as they are still not cut short enough.Bunkers could definetely do with some more sand but i could say that about most of the courses i play.The bunkers though are well placed and the rough which doesnt look a problem is a good test as your club inveriably has to go through clumpy grass which cost us shots a plenty.Considering the weather the course was very quiet which can only mean 1.Most golfers go elsewhere 2.Their wives wear the trousers and they cant play on a holiday weekend.Its probably a combination of the two but its more one than two i would say.
