Starting to look overpriced
As a nomadic golfer, I have played The Rayleigh Club's east course on many occasions over the years. It's mainly for the pay and play brigade or players that find 5,500 yards plus to much.It's a decent test and has generally been in ok condition, but over the last couple of times I've played it, the greens are showing a far bit of wear and tear and are very bumpy. Now I guess you get what you pay for. But given a midweek round has gone up from ?15 pre pandemic (which was about right), to now ?20 it's looking overpriced for what it is. I know clubs have to make back their lost revenues, but they also need to take into account the quality of the course, otherwise sooner or later people are going to take their business elsewhere.

I played the course in early October and found the greens to be in excellent condition.
The tee boxes and fairways had improved greatly in the last few months, the new owner is visibly improving the overall quality of this enjoyable course.
I especially enjoyed the holes furthest from the clubhouse, while parring the picturesque final hole improved things. The food, staff and facilities are spot on.

Small but nicely formed
It's an OK course that makes you think on most holes. The ?20 green fee is justabout right in these current times but certainly no more. Due to its yardage
circa 4500 yards it means you can get round quickly and a good course to
sharpen up your game. The 6 minute intervals were too short as there was
a bit of bunching.

Since the new owner has taken over the club (previously Lords) the club house has been improved, bar menu is excellent, reasonably priced and well presented. The courses have improved in the last 6months beyond recognition,greens are excellent,fairways good and rough not too punishing, a most enjoyable round of golf, very helpful and pleasant and polite staff, you will do well to find a better all round club in Essex.

It was disappointing to find that the 18th hole was closed today and not to have known about this until arriving at the tee. £1 off the green fee would have been a nice gesture.

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

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.

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
