Rude Ground Staff. Unenjoyable experience. Not worth the money.

Played at Bentley on the 14/03/2018, and was looking forward to the round after seeing good reviews of the course. At £35 a round it was higher than most courses in Essex but thought it's worth the shot.

Without being told we run into trouble, greens closed due to maintenance, ground staff cutting down trees and for some reason, decided to burn them at the tee boxes.

Heavy, thick smoke covered the air leaving the view very difficult, not to mention a chesty cough & one of my friends struggling to breathe due to being ahsmatic.

We was shocked how the pro shop didn't bother to notify us before/after we paid, but more than happy to take our money and find out for ourselves.

Golfing etiquette is a major thing, all courses I play normally deal with this well, eg grass cutters stopping the machines to allow silence for our shots, but at Bentley it was quite different, several Chain saws going off 10 foot away from you.

After we questioned the heavy black smoke and the sound to the ground staff, one replied 'This is our f****g course, not yours, get on with it*.

It's a course that we feel was not worth the value, and a lot better courses out there, with better standards on how to treat their customers, and where your site will be visible throughout the round and not come up with a chesty cough.

Won't be returning to this course, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else should.

Andrew.

Worthwhile a visit. Tight drives and a course you have to think your w

A good course you are a straight player. There is very little margin of error off the tees. Well thought out course.

Nice course

This is a good challenge and it's a good layout with interesting holes all the way round. The greens were very quick, which was impressive for the time of year.
Disappointed that we weren't told in advance that the majority of holes would be off temp tees. Think this is their winter policy as I imaging the place can be boggy when it's been raining a lot. But it hadn't rained that much and we had to walk passed a lot of very playable tee boxes.

The clubhouse is virtually brand new and is impressive. However, they haven't connected the changing rooms to it which was a bit of a mystery as to why not.
The welcome was warm and the food was good.

A challenging course worth playing

Course was pretty wet, so only carrying was permitted, however all greens were in use and very playable. The clubhouse is currently being extended and undergoing some modernisation which is due to be completed by end of February 2018.

A nice tricky course with some very good holes. It is a bit tight in places with the odd golf ball flying over your fairway.

good course. has been a little neglected in places and the greens, whilst being fast and smooth, dont seem to run true. however, it's a top course for the money, a really friendly feel to the place and the members seem very friendly. challenging in a good way and there is still some investment going on.

Membership is a little pricey for what it is. £1000 and I'd join tomorrow.
