Variable
Because of the weather, the fairways are hard but in need of a cut as some wispy bits of grass impede the run/shot. Greens are in fantastic conditions but the tee boxes are absolutely dreadful - need seed/sand mix but appears to be just sand and not watered. Very difficult to get a good stance on some holesReviewer Rating

Ok
This is a good course for someone looking for a easy going short course, having said this, there are a couple of testing holes. Course in good condition despite having little rain, greens particularly good, fairways ok, tee boxes not so great but still enjoyable ?20 for seniors which is good value. Clubhouse, staff & members all great, could do with a bell on some blind holes especially when it's busyReviewer Rating

Seasons about to kick in
Nice that the course is playing from the tee boxes, fairways are in good condition, but because tbe ground is basically clay they tend to dry out extremely fast making tgem very hard h der Club and foot, but as its the smaller of the two courses money is probably not available to put in water irrigation, greens were in very good condition, please people repair your pitch marksReviewer Rating

No golf etiquette required
We like to play the East course as it is a great way to put into practice what you have been practicing on the Range, which by the way is very good and well priced, the biggest issue we have with the East course is that no person seems to bother with trying to encourage any type of Golf Etiquette, be it with type of clothing being worn, Jogging Bottoms and hoodies seems OK it seems, driving the golf buggies wherever they like, and most annoying, how hard is it to KEEP UP WITH THE GAME IN FRONT AND NOT IN FRONT OF THE GAME BEHIND, we have walk of twice in recent weeks due to slow play, 1hr to play 3 holes is not acceptable, they are not long holes, quit on the 11thReviewer Rating

Having played the East course on several occasions, it is very hard to criticise the course, the green keeper can only do so much, if players are not prepared to repair pitch marks on the greens there is not much he can do about it, Generally the course is not the most difficult to play but stray off line and you might struggle to make par. Great 18 hole course for those golfers who need to play a proper course without the handicap of seasoned golfers worrying about how you are playing.

Tricky course for high handicappers.
I like this course. It's quite tricky for high handicappers but gives you a good game which tests your abilities when you play. The course is in reasonable condition, the tee boxes need some attention, however the greens are good. Great pro shop and club house with very good food. It shuts at 15.00 for food which means you can't eat after your round if you tee off later in the afternoon.Reviewer Rating

Tricky Course
Suffers from poor drainage but is a great course to play. Only one par 5 but lots of tricky holes where you need to be accurate off the tee. The tee boxes and bunkers are getting some much needed attention. I really enjoy this course and would recommend you play it.It has a very good driving range, putting area but no practice for chipping or bunker practice. good food and very friendly staff.

We play most Wednesday?s on the East course, it has been waterlogged for much of the year so far. This week ( 3/4/24) they introduced temporary tees, by strimming an area in front of the proper ones. Not ideal when trying to play your tee shot.
Then they have the cheek to put up the senior rate to ?18 for a round.
Why don't they wait until the course is actually playable before putting prices up.

Since bunkers were reconstructed last year The Rayleigh Club course is a great course to play. Big hitters will love front 9 with visitors n shorter hitters preferring most scenic back 9. Very rarely closed due to great drainage.Reviewer Rating

Where did the bunkers go?!
Ironic that first tee was off limits as it was being reinvigorated only to find that every bunker bar about three had been filled in on the course since I was last here. Greens okay, but spiked. Fairway grass not great and those drainage channels are a nightmare, as always. Worse still was the standard of the ground that used to be bunker was so poor. Slope rating must be reviewed, surely. Course was all but empty on a Wednesday pm roundReviewer Rating

I went here with a few friends to play one afternoon. We played the east course and found it a nice scenic walk and fairly easy holes. Would definitely come back however there is a lot of litter there and it is quite a walk round. Would definitely recommend a buggy or at least a trolley.Reviewer Rating
