To be fair the course was in fairly good condition for the time of year but a few of the greens were a little bare in places. The course is relatively flat and has some variety with some nice views as you progress around the lake. One criticism would be the noise of the adjacent industrial park and the main road but having said that its only really noticeable on a couple of holes. At a £1 a hole on a week day its good value. Just don\'t expect any food or a beer in the clubhouse afterwards as the \"Hut\" only has a vending machine for dtinks.

Lee Valley has 18 different holes, the layouts of some of the holes are very challenging (Holes 8 and 15 have blind dog-legs to the right; 10 has a tight corridor fairway; 6 has a tight corridor of trees and is very hilly). The layout is the best thing about this course.
The course is on a holiday park and the shop, facilities and green keepers are holiday park workers, not golf pros (or at least that is how it seems). The fairway are rough or rougher with horrendous rough or mini forests framing each hole. The hope that Summer may bring shorter grass is based more on the possibility of debilitating heat rather than a good mow. The greens are full of pot holes from previously un-repaired pitch marks, or just wear and tear, and there seems no effort to sort this out.
All this being said, I like playing there. It's only 4889 yards and the fairways and green are awful, but it is a challenge. There are 6 Par 3s and no Par 5s (if you play off the yellows) but you wouldn't come away from playing there thinking you had it easy.
PROS:
Challenging conditions
Challenging holes but not because of length
CONS:
Staff
Facilities (no club house)

Firm ground, adds distance to drives. Greens in very good condition. Bunkers could do with some more sand.

Nice course, not amazingly maintained as most fairways were almost like rough. Play was held up by lots of slow play, but some good holes and well designed around the lake.

I can't believe more people don't play this urban gem. A gorgeous Friday afternoon in August and there was hardly anyone on the course. OK, the fairways need a cut, but the layout and the greens are superb. You won't find a better course for the money anywhere. Great fun!
