What the club says: Since opening for play in 1907, Thorpe Hall has proved to be a fair but stimulating test for golfers of all abilities.
Although modest in length by the standards of modern course design, recent additional fairway bunkers give longer hitters pause for thought while the ever present mature trees that line the majority of the fairways provide the main defence of the course against all players. A wayward tee shot into the trees can often be costly on the scorecard.

Reviewed Jun 1 2021 by Andy T - rated 5 out of 5 Top Notch Course and Club
On a beautiful afternoon in late May, it was fantastic to get out on one of the best courses and clubs in Essex, its a gem of a course, difficult and long (over 6000yards off the yellows) and in fatastic condition. Stay on the fairway they said as the rough is very difficult to get out of...no kidding. Could not fault the course just my driving. Highly recommended to anyone to try it. Its expensive to non members (£45) but worth it IMHO.(Round played: May 2021 - Score: 99 Handicap: 20.1)

Reviewed Jul 21 2020 by Joel P - rated 5 out of 5 Great track, amazing fairways
Loved this course. Long enough to use the driver but tight enough to be really challenging. Some amazing holes, big drivers can drive a few greens (hitting 300 to 330 yards). Greens quick and challenging but true.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jun 22 2018 by Paul W - rated 5 out of 5 Fantastic course
In top condition at the moment. Greens are very quick.A course to think your way round as it's quite tight and there are plenty of holes where the driver has to stay in the bag.
Position is everything.
It's also very flat so little strain getting round.

Reviewed May 7 2017 by Eddie M - rated 4 out of 5 This is the first time this year I have seen a green course in England. The tee's are excellent and the fairways have a nice layer of grass so the ball sits up well. The greens were a fraction slow (although it was early evening) but ran slow and received a ball well. The course is not too long, but there are plenty of trees to penalise a wayward tee shot. There are some well positioned bunkers to catch a mis-hot shot. The last three holes are a nice, interesting finish with a tight par 3, dogleg par 4 and straight short par 4.

Amazing greens. Really hard to ready the subtle breaks though. Really tough in places and not every par 4 requires a driver. Lovely mixture of testing holes. A joy to play.
