Tricky course. Stuck up Members
Pricey course for what it is. No the longest around but tricky, definitely a thinking course. If you are out of place off the tee you have no chance of a par. Practice areas are all good.After golf we tried to take in the clubhouse, to which we were made to fell very uncomfortable. You can see why these types of golf clubs are going out of business with members like these. Told not to stand on a certain side of the bar, continuously asked if we were members, told to move outside because we had not got changed. Will not be going back.

Yellow tee boxes were all temps . No scorecards in pro shop . Got stuck behind a pro-am comp which was fine , but what wasn`t fine was the members behind us shouting across fairways for the pace of play to pick up . We as a four ball were waiting on every tee box , and although we are not pro\'s we kept up with the group in front . We found the members unfriendly . The car park is stupid small , had to park on the street . Holes 2-5 were in a different part of the area , almost field like . Greens were good thou . Shame about the rest of it . Won\'t go back , wouldn\'t even entertain it .

An 18 hole golf course in easy reach of London with good travel connections the course has benefitted from the recent rain so is beginning to look a lot lusher than when I played it last.

Not Bad
Played here September '19 .The course got more interesting as it went on .I wasn't that fussed about the front 9 but on the back 9 i thought the holes had more about them & were more interesting .
Fairly unusual layout in that the uninspiring holes 2 to 5 are in a separate area which is reached by walking along a residential road & then at the end of the round you play 2 holes around a pleasant, large lake & then walk along part of a cricket ground to get to 18 .These 2 lake holes 16 & 17 are good holes & the lake takes you buy surprise if you don't know about it as it is high up & not visible from the rest of the course .
Fairways were dry on the visit but then we haven't had a lot of rain this summer & the greens were recovering from maintenance but putted well.
The visitors car park is quite small & when we arrived there wasn't a space & the residential road didn't seem to have a nearby space but after about 10 minutes someone moved. I liked the feel & atmosphere of the clubhouse & it was pleasant sitting on the south facing patio out the back with a drink after the round by the putting & bowling green .
It's probably worth a knock here if you haven't played it before .

Tight course, perhaps too tight
The very friendly pro explained the oddness of the layout and didn’t quite believe until I experienced it. The first and last fairways crossing, the shleps between 1st/2nd, 5th/6th, 16/17/18, the overlaying fairways of 3rd/4th. Definitely some interesting holes but wouldn’t like to play when busy. Course very dry with grass struggling on nearly all fairways, greens in reasonable condition. Overpriced.Reviewer Rating

Enjoyable local course with good fast greens. Fairway is a bit hit and miss, feels a bit unkempt in parts.

They have spent a lot to improve the patio areas due to the recent pandemic regulations on social distancing and outside eating etc, the course has also benefitted from the recent rains(Round played: Jun 2021 - Score: 81 Handicap: 11.9)

Nice course on the Edge of Epping Forest
The greens were in very good condition and the fairways recently cut, We agreed as a society to play pick and place as there were some bare patches Holes 2-5 are a short walk away and up and down so rehearse the word FORE! Staff and members were very friendly and helpful. Hole 16 is a real poser!!Reviewer Rating

The course was in good condition and they are doing a lot of work to the course clearing bushes renewing the pathways etc, the playing surface was good especially around the fringes of the greens which was impressive as the last time I played the course it was a bit scrappy.
