5 Highly Recommended.
Tight course with some real challenging holes. Great atmosphere and really friendly. There is a new club house being built at the moment although there is a delay due to the Covid pandemic.

5 Compact short course
Compact course with a couple of crossover fairways, short and tight in places. Greens very true but on the slow side.

5 £35 I was expecting good greens and reasonable tee boxes at least!!! \\Greens were ok, just ok. Tee boxes were shocking. \Random electrical pylons on three holes.... one along the entirety of the hole! \\Bloke in pro shop was rude and asked me and my two colleagues if we had our own clubs on three occasions !!!! “Yes mate, we are not the sort of people to turn up to a course and play with one set of clubs between three of us” \\On a plus, there were not many people out on the course and those that were were very friendly and happy to advise on where each hole was. Lucky as the course is not very well marked out. \\I’d probably never go back given that Wanstead and Hainault are just as close to me. And for\£10 a round less - piss take to charge £35 for a\Very average course! \\82 shot. 2 over handicap \\

5 Great course, fairways are a bit brown, but expected because of the heat wave. Greens are running fast and true.

5 Tricky gem
Hidden in the East End this course is a must play. Kept very well considering the rain we have had recently. Apparently the layout has recently changed and they are in need of a few new signs to direct golfers to the next tee.
However the course was in great shape with a number of 'thinking holes'. The shorter par 4's allow you to attack but beware of the out of bounds. Would happily play here again.

5 16 out of 18 temp greens
Played here at 9:30am and there were 16 temp greens in place (actually 18 when we started but a couple opened by the time we got to them near the end of the round).
Bit of a confusing layout, rest of course was in ok condition.

5 Lovely course easily accessible from London and Essex. Friendly pro shop and clubhouse serving food.
Recommend for beginners as not too long yet tricky enough to challenge those with lower handicaps.

5 Fairways and greens were running true and right out of the top drawer and hard to fault the club on anything apart from the bar not being open when we finished!
North Circ running past some of the holes is not an issue at all, defo playing there again soon.

The location, clubhouse and facilities are poor but once you cross the A406 the fairways and greens are in excellent condition with short but interesting holes.
We played midweek in a society and took the normal 4 hours. Well worth a visit score 84 Handicap 15
