Nice course
Nice course. Plenty of challenges but nothing impossible. Some interesting dog legs. Hardly any flat lies, but good fun. Food is very good. Club house friendly. Has a lot of society play so can get very busy and slow.Reviewer Rating

Found the course very samey, A par 5 that you cannot attack as the ditches prevent a driver from the tee.Some indexes are inaccurate due to length of par 4?s. ..overall good value for money but uninteresting overallc

Always a great day
Have been coming for a number of years and always had a great day. Course challenging enough for our society - food has always been fantastic. This year following work on the greens making it hard to putt upon was our only downside on the dayReviewer Rating

Tucked away in the Essex countryside
Mature tree line parkland course with undulating fairways some with small climbs. Some fairways had lateral ditches & ponds. Therefore course management comes into play. Most of the Fairways were in good condition. Sadly the greens were very slow. Bunkers some were good some poor.Did not see any practise facilities. Club house & pro shop had friendly staff.
At £17.50 with an English breakfast its great value for money. Overall worth a visit

Looking Unloved
Sad to say, Top Meadow, though a good layout with a good range of challenges, is looking very tired and unloved. Many bunkers fill with water after moderate rain and paths are eroded into what look like shell holes from WW1.Many greens could do with a roller, as they have developed a kind of 'broccoli' finish.
Such a shame. On the positive side, fees are very reasonable compared to many courses and breakfast is very cheap too!

Tired course
Have to agree with those that say it is a good winter course compared to many but the dreadful pathways let it down, making it seem rather unloved and very unpleasant to walk / drive a buggy on, even though fairways and greens are mostly very well kept.Bunkers, if there has been appreciable rain, are very hit and miss, with many filling up with water.

Course was in good condition with a few challenging holes some of the ditches and water hazards were not that evident, however that was probable down to my poor course management.
Pro shop was well stocked.
One small criticism would be that the practice putting green was a fair distance in the opposite direction from the 1st Tee but this is a minor point. Good day had by our society and the Bar and Restaurant staff were attentive and efficient.
