For a course that's voted top 4 in Essex the course wasn't in great shape. Wasn't able to get breakfast at 9:30 as bar was shut. Greens had not been whipped which was disappointing and the course was so so wet. Drainage is very poor albeit we've had a bit of rain but courses I've played in the top ten ( Chelmsford, toothill, canonsbrook etc) are a lot firmer under foot. I will go back but not until the weather improves.

One of the finest inland parkland courses in the Essex, London Region. James Braid has created a little gem with 2 very different nine hole loops. Once we played the course the members were so welcoming and I must say what a greta

Course was testing with excellent greens. Clubhouse though was very dated and looked like one of those 'little chefs' that you find on the motorway, all run down and tired.

Slick greens
The course is a real contrast of two halves. The front 9 are tight, big elevation changes, framed by mature trees, where you have to think your way around and make sure you put your ball in the right place to get to the green. The back 9 is more open and longer and presents less natural challenges. It is expensive to play but worth it - particularly with a county card - but be warned... the excellent greens are incredibly fast. I have barely come across faster in the UK, and certainly not in Essex. A great day out, pricey (including the clubhouse etc) but very welcoming. An interesting, enjoyable challenge.Reviewer Rating

Great condition for a course in February - will be back when the sun shines and the fairways have a burnt out colour - enjoyed it.

Nice course - tight fairways many of which bit untidy due to recent weather. Nice greens - would be deadly fast in summer. Quite hilly front 9 but definately worth a visit(Round played: Oct 2019 - Score: 94 Handicap: 18.2)

Very good value at £20 after 2pm weekdays. Well kept private course. Some of the tees go over the previous greens, which could cause delays if the course is busy. Not a problem when we played though.
