The course was great considering that here has been rain over the last 2 days also it was very windy 40 mph and the greens were very quick especially for winter. Clubhouse shut due to renovation which is being completed by the end of next week.

Pricey at £31 for twilight but this is a superb course with fantastic facilities, easily the best I have played in the county (though I am yet to try Thorndon)

Tough course, punishes those who are not straight off the tee. Needs a few more bunkers on the course I think.

We do suffer a few pretentious members at this course, but as time passes and younger members with healthier attitudes toward golf gain responsibility at the club, things have changed for the better. Most decent golf courses have issues with a few members... Don't believe that SWGC is anything like as stuffy or as unfriendly Royal St Georges or Sunningdale for example. Ok, the course isn't in the same league as those places, but there's no excuse for rudeness where-ever you choose to play. There is a thriving junior section, (boys and girls) and the Professionals, administrative and catering staff are all excellent. The course itself really has benefitted from a top notch Head Greenkeeper who has given us, (members) some of the best greens in East Anglia. The course isn't open to visitors on Saturday morning to 1pm and there is most often closure for Ladies on Tuesday mornings. The quietest day of the week is Thursday. Unfortunately breakfast isn't served, but there is a good menu served from 11am. The putting green is a bit dull, (by that I mean flat) but it is at least in the same excellent condition as the greens on the course. There is also a new chipping area which offers you a good variety of options to practice your short game. A full size driving range is also available along with 4 nets. I'd put this course on a level with the Old Course at Gog Magogs- interesting, undulating, excellent conditioning, well tree-lined and well designed, in that you'll have to use decent course management to get round somewhere near to your handicap.

Easy to find and very attractive club. The club house looks datedfrom the outside, but insde is very well appointed. The Pro was welcoming with some useful advice as well as a well stocked shop.
The course is quite undulating, and will certainly give you some exercise walking it, though this does lend itself to quite a few "blind" tee shots, though all of which had fairway marker posts to aim at. The greenkeepers are certainly doing a great job the greens were very fast, but a little difficult to get any thing to stop on, surrounded by challenging but fair bunkers.
I really enjoyed the round and would happily go back again.
