Nice course with some interesting holes, position from tee crucial, 6 par 3,s 4 par 5,s and some long par 4,s greens not particularly fast or slow but true. The BUT could do with signs for next tee or map on score card as next hole not always obvious.(Round played: Oct 2020 - Score: 97 Handicap: 21.8)

Reviewed Sep 25 2020 by Paul W - rated 4 out of 5 Cracking Course
Course in excellent condition. Tees, fairways and greens are really good and well maintained. Bunkers are pretty awful, but understand that lots of work is planned for these in the coming months. The course is a real challenge, but the layout is superb. Every hole has something interesting about it. The clubhouse is very comfortable and the service is excellent. The outdoor area, overlooking the 9th and 18th greens is lovely. The welcome is a very warm one and the food is really top notch.Course (layout/challlenge)

I must admit Colne valley is not one of my most favourite clubs but it does what it says on the tin . Fairways and greens in good condition but if you go in the rough you can be in big trouble as it’s very overgrown(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 101 Handicap: 22.9)

There are some very good features on the course. It is challenging, with some narrowing fairways between the trees; it is an attractive course; its greens are well kept. However, the bunkers are not well kept, with many stones and weeds in them (I know the answer is to stay out of the bunkers!).(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 94 Handicap: 25.9)

Reviewed Mar 8 2020 by Colchester - rated 5 out of 5 Played a couple of times and really enjoyed it. A great course despite the recent weather. My only gripes are the that the bunkers need more sand and less stones, and it would be nice to have some form of signage at the tees to show the lie of the hole/green/hazards etc.\But I guess the more I play the more I’ll get to know the course!!

Our first visit and we were very impressed. The course is beautiful and even though it’s January the conditions were top quality. Well drained, firm fairways and immaculate greens. The hole variation is interesting & every hole poses a challenge. Cannot day enough good things about the course, members and hospitality in the clubhouse. Very excited to get back there again, I imagine it is stunning in the spring/summer.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Dec 31 2018 by Matt H - rated 4 out of 5 Great Parkland course.
One of the better courses in Essex during the summer months.A great mixture of longer and shorter holes combined with the 6 par 3's means your iron game will have to be on form if you want to score well around here.
Some of the tee shots provoke thought from the tee and then greens can be the courses greatest protection.
Can get slightly wet during the winter but that goes for most courses in the area.
