Now part of the playgolf group so called playgolf colchester now. Nice course has some challenging holes with water hazards and a few tight fairways. Can hit some big numbers if a bit wayward from the tee.

Was sceptical following recent reviews but very pleasantly surprised. the actual holes are well disgned and the bunker placement is excellent. the American Golf shop is packed full. the fiarways where in good condition. the holes are tight and accuracy is a must off the tee.
i would say that the bunkers need to a bit better as do have a number of stones in them (not good for the wedges) and the greens could do with being cut shorter.
very enjoyable, will play again and may even join...
i would also say that despite the location the road and train noise is minimal and really wasn't something you overly notice. the walk between holes can be long so get a buggy or trolly if you struggle slightly.

Very enjoyable course to play. The holes are reasonably varied making for a more enjoyable experience. The fairways and greens are constantly being maintained and very rarely will you find that holes are closed due to poor weather or that you are using temporary greens.
The facilities for food and drink are not great but a huge rebuilding is taking place and will improve things significantly.

Course is always a challenge. There are some long walks between holes and the layout isn't great due to the land available. Since the playgolf group took over facilities have really improved and the American Golf on site is a great asset.

A new course. the golf course was interesting,
it didnt have millions of trees but it had a great course design,
the clubhouse maybe could do with improving, the shop was fabulous!
customer care second to none, i do like modern courses as play in spain alot so i did enjoy this course as the bunkers were in the right places to challenge the modern golfer!
would i recommend to play Lexden Wood? Yes because it ticks almost all the golfers boxes the greens are fantastic! It was great value for money.
