Short but enjoyable course.
Warm welcome in the pro shop and bar afterwards.
Large group of 'yoofs' hanging about on the 17th tee which was awkward but not sure the club could do much about that.
Would play again.

Played Theydon for the first time last month. A really tight course but in great condition. Greens were well maintained and the club house is well appointed. They have a loyalty scheme now where you buy 4 rounds and get the 5th free so quite a good incentive to play again. Swerve your shot off line and you'll be punished! Thinking mans course 100%.

A testing course with some delightful holes. A tremendous feel good factor is achieved playing this course.

A course that requires accuracy and cunning rather than brute force. Wayward drives will be punished and if you can work the ball, then the course will open up tremendously.
Due to it's age, there may be some temporary greens over the winter - which can be frustrating. However, they are absolutely immaculate in the summer and this more than makes up for it.
A great course that keeps on surprising you!

A tough course made harder by tight fairways and lots of forest, but very nicely maintained and good pro shop.

Short but tight in reasonable condition
Short course, mainly woodland so tight. A fair number of dog-legs. Course condition reasonable but patchy grass in run-ups to greens. Greens themselves okay, true if a little slow. Came up against a slow members competition at end of round.Reviewer Rating

Nice spot in the forest
Nice layout of different holes, need to play it more than once as many holes just need an iron as its not a long layout. some greens a bit wholly at present but the forest setting cannot make green maintenance easy, also fairways bit bare and very hard so some very unhelpful kicks and bounces.Reviewer Rating

A bit too tight
For the twilight rate of £14 it really is good value, but some of the fairways are so narrow, it does make it a bit silly sometimes. Plus there are just too many short dogleg par fours. Lovely welcome from everybody we spoke to, but broadly not a great course(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 93 Handicap: 19)

Friendly people, decent course, but....
This is a tough challenge. Very tight, lots of dog legs. Which are the defences over it not being very long. Knowing where to go off the tee is pretty much essential and on some holes leads to taking some very serious risks. However, there are a few holes, especially on the back nine that, IMHO don't work or are kind of tricked up to make them more difficult. For example, The 12th is played over a hedge from the tee. It's a short hole, but you have to play even shorter because there's another hedge about 50 yards short of the green. There's what looks like a gateway space cut into this hedge. It has an air of a crazy golf hole. The 17th could be a great hole, if not for another hedge, across it at about 250 yards. Sure, it's there to stop you driving it. But bunkers would do the same job. Get it slightly long / wrong and you're in the hedge and penalised unnecessarily. On the day we played here, most of the greens were soaking wet and incredibly soft (not just receptive). Many had also been recently tined (in a hot August?). My guess is they have had issues recently and are trying to correct them. Big plus point is the people here, really couldn't do enough for us. That said, I'm not sure I'd rush back.(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 88 Handicap: 10.2)

Short, tight course
Tight little course that makes full use of Epping Forest to make up for its lack of length. Lots of irons off tees and clever placement required. Make sure you have your range finder for the lay ups.(Round played: Jun 2020 - Score: 91 Handicap: 0)
