Blakes Golf Club

First time playing this course. Very cheap at £10 a round so can’t complain as good value for money. However, course conditions were poor - greens dreadful and fairways like hitting off concrete. Lots of litter around.

Overall, could have been worse for the price.

what a fantastic surprise this golf club is , far reaching rolling hills of Essex , less than 10 minutes from M11 /Harlow A414 exit , really good course , very hilly ,take a buggy , greens are good and will only get better , well looked after and some stunning looking holes from tee blocks , the 8th island green is a stunner but has a few more that are just as good.

well priced round at £20 buggy £20 , we played on a dry day and the ball travelled for miles , like a links course .

members and staff very friendly and helpful , all in all we will be going back , great days golf had by all.

scoring I play of 12 and shot a 86 , partners play of 16 he shot 91 last but not least plays of 24 he shot 107

highly recommend .

Give this course 5 years and it will be a gorgeous thing, challenging but a little gem of note.

We've just started playing this course and are really enjoying it. Has some good challenges (Hole 8 is very intimidating) which are enjoyable challenges. The greens are currently letting it down a bit, just need some work but didn't spoil our day

I will have to leave this blank, as this site is Unable to distinguish plain English and twaddle.

It seems this site plays golf it's self and has no need for reviews from everyday people

A lovely gem of a course, featuring 18 very different and individually challenging holes on a links style layout.

Only slight issue was that there was some reconstruction going on on some holes, particularly 17, but I imagine it will look fantastic when it's completed.

Overall, fabulous value, I strongly recommend it.

Good layout . Shame it hasn’t had the attention over the years it probably deserves .

Nevertheless , perfect condition , game was ok . Cheap and cheerful sums it up really . . Shame , could be so much better .

Course was in excellent condition drinks offered while on course was handy due to great weather conditions

Played on 1 st day back. Car pack heaving but got off ahead of time & never held up nor did we hold anyone up. Hot test day of the year so far. Clear skies & wind was gentle. We were very lucky & would play again in high summer when would hope the greens would be flatter & faster & the fairway lies more even. An excellent comeback course after the 84 day lull

Blake's is a brilliant course all year round, greens firm and true, no temps, only 3 fairways slightly muddy.

The Only thing to spoil a cold but excellent golfing day on an excellent course was GOLFNOW you Double booked tee times....so with course's only allowed 2 balls=total congestion.

Even with a starting Marshall organising front and back tee off's we still took 51/2 hours, waiting on each tee. TOTALLY RUINED the day.

Was very very cold! -1/-2 our whole round, but considering the temperature and all the rain we’ve had the course played really well and was dry. Managed to get a buggy in December for my dad which is rare in Essex.

With all the new lockdown rules, club houses closed etc... it was definitely hard being outside in the cold but the hot food/drinks buggy going round was a great idea, wish more clubs did that! The young girl serving was lovely, although she looked frozen, course was hard, very little carry because of frost but we would definitely play again.

Slow start and by the 3rd tee there were 3 groups waiting as the course was so overbooked with 5 minute tee times.

On the 10th there were more people filtering in so even more standing around which is 0 degrees isn't much fun. The ground was frozen in most places but where it wasnt it was like a bog. I understand courses need to make money but after a nearly 5 hour round as a 2 ball I wont be in a rush to go back.

We was first out in the morning which was great as we went round front 9 in 1:45min when we got to the 10th there was a que of 10 groups.

The club decided to let groups start on the 10th and had massively over booked and we then spent 20min on each tee waiting.

Shame as the course is very good value for money
