Chelmsford rated 1 out of 5
Reviewed Jul 13 2013
I have played a number of courses in my life but none as bad as this for what you pay. If it was £10-£15 for 18 holes then I would have been more accepting, however for £26 it was appalling. The fairways were of poor quality and the greens were completely brown. That grass had died some time ago. The whole course looked like it was never watered. Most of my shots to the green that came in high bounced like they were hitting hardcourt and large plumes of dust flew up. The bunkers were not bunkers. The sand in them was minimal and they were full of stones and most of them were pretty much soil. I can understand that renovating the clubhouse may be costly but a coat of paint and filling up the large holes revealing wires would have been good. The carpet was repaired using stips of gaffa tape and the front desk looked like it was held together the same way. There are a number of courses not much further away from Chelmsford that provide course and facilities of a considerably higher quality for the same price or less.

I thought £22 for 18 holes might be OK, as I had consciously not played the course for years for its shocking rough. Teed off thinking the course was in not bad shape until I got the greens. So disappointed. They need a complete relaying to avoid your ball jumping all over the place. I had a few puts going in but then jumping wide.

The course has a nice layout and is challenging with thick rough making hitting the fairways of extra importance. There are a lot of dog leg right holes playing into the hand of those with a natural fade. The greens have always been in poor condition whenever I have played here, as they are patchy and the grass is too long, making putting difficult as the ball tends to bobble off line consistently.

Greens awful. Just earth in places, and mossy grass in others. Long course with hazards, and quite interesting as such, but poorly kept. No clubhouse, so can't even get a drink (let alone a snack) after. And it's expensive! Good teaching pro, and good clubfitting facilities, but not so good for enjoying golf.

Not that great for £24 more like a £15 course
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

My local public course so one i play the most.
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.

The greens really arent good.
The course is very average, and at £28 for a round it really isnt great value for money.
It's saving grace it's proximity to the town of chelmsford which means it can get away with this but it really should invest in some effort in greenkeepers over this winter.

Just got back from playing here,
I didnt think it was as bad as others have said here.
The fairways and greens looked like they have been cut regularly, although the greens were a bit slow with a few brown patches on them.
Overall there were some tricky holes and a few of them have water in play.
Maybe £24 is a tad to steep

We have not played here for a couple of years as the greens were very poor ,very slow and of need of a good cut .Not much has changed the greens still need cutting but the rough is a good test for any golfer .We play every week and play different coarses every week and this must be the most overpriced coarse that we have played.At a time when most coarses reduce there prices around the 1oc mark Hylands seem to think it right to keep there prices the same all day what a rip off!!!!!!!!.
This coarse is a sub standard pay and play and there are many better coarses in the area that charge a lot less than £24.00.
