£16 - In Perpective
We as a group had not played Bunsay for about 6 years..give or take and thought we would reminisce. The price was good, not Cafe so we went to the sister course (about a mile away for a Bacon Sarnie, etc) .Back to the golf, we found the course had not changed much, shabby around the edges uncut grass areas, half-decent greens although full of weeds. This has the potential to be a really good club but it's very tired and needs investment. Service in the bar after was poor as the young lad had no idea about bar work.. still, we enjoyed the experience but probably won't be back for a few years again which is a shame.

Mr
Have been a member for over 20 years and will play again.However the last few years have been particularly difficult for the club.
Lack of green keepers has shown course care to be lacking.
Facilities are poor at present and communication levels are non existent from management.
Staff behind the club house counter are always friendly.
All the above is such a pity because Bunsay and Badgers(the 9 hole par 3)are beautiful little courses and deserve better.

Great Little Course
Had a good couple of rounds here at the end of 2020. Used the par 3 course as a warm up before switching to the regular course. Lots of areas to catch you out and some great fun holes to play.The weather was awful but the course was still in really good condition.

Very average course now
Since before Covid struck,Bunsay has been on the slide down.This could be a super little course which combined with ?Badgers'makes for a testing game of golf in a pretty setting at a reasonable price.Regretfully since Covid there has been a noticeable lack of care for the playing public with bunkers and greens in a generally poor condition.put that together with a lack of refreshments other than tes/coffee and the overall experience is poor.Reviewer Rating

BADGERS DENE, GRAYS rated 1 out of 5
Reviewed Sep 18 2020
Havent played Bunsay for a couple of years. Played yesterday. Really sad to see the condition of the course. Weeds & grass in most bunkers, very little sand. Greens very poor, some with holes in. Especially poor was the par 3 course. Obviously the owners are throwing no no money at Bunsay. It was busy when we played with players of a 'certain generation' which did surprise us. Sadly i wont be returning.

A small challenging golf course
Have played many rounds here and like to mix it up with the main nine and the very challenging par three,which should not be taken lightly.Currently,with the hot weather watering can interrupt the use of the courses,so worth checking before leaving home.
The greens are very flat but the sun is taking its toll.
Generally,still a gem set in the Essex countryside and at a reasonable price.
The cafe/restaurant offers a wide range of snacks and drinks from coffee to beer and two excellent breakfasts.
