A local favorite

Really enjoy this place. Fairways and tees a bit average at the moment but you've got to make allowances given the times we live it. Greens were in good nick. £18, happy days!

Nice course

Nice established golf course, not a driver friendly course, very strategic. Pace of play is painfully slow though. Overall good course of less people are playing.

Lovely country golf course

A lovely golf course which is well designed and has some good challenges with strategically placed water hazards and bunkers. The course is in very good condition and was a joy to play. The only downside was that a large Society went out before us and that constantly held up play so it made for a long afternoon added to the dreadful weather (not the golf club’s fault obviously!!) which wasn’t much fun!

Easy to get to and plenty of car parking. A lovely all round course in the Essex countryside.

So slow.

Arrived for our tee time at 2:10.

We didn’t tee off until 2:30 because of the amount of people in front of us.

After we finally feed off, we had a 20 minute wait between each hole.

After 2 hours of playing and only getting round 5 holes, we decided to walk off because we had evening arrangements we would of missed because of the pace of play.

The club booked too many people on to the course, without properly spacing the tee times out.

Poor course and massively overbooked

We arrived for our tee on time and there were 16 people on the tee box. The course was booked out for a 50th birthday but they should have had exclusivity as there was no room for anyone else. We teed off 50 minutes late and our front 9 took 3hrs and 15 minutes. We had to wait for 10 minutes at every tee box so we walked off after 9 and headed for the car.

The course itself is not in best shape considering how nice the weather has been. Hard fairways with little grass on them. greens were very average at best.

It is only £17 a round but they are trying to book so many on it that it is £17 wasted in my view. Not enjoyable at all.

Course in great condition

Course in great condition, good variety of holes, some dogleg, water to avoid, mix of distances. Course is very flat which made walking easier.

Staff very friendly and still serving limited food menu and drinks, but seating outside only, clubhouse not open.

Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back

Nice sunny day good greens

Played here twice ove the last 6 weeks, course is in good condition greens are well kept and fairways nice and wide. Some nice holes with water and dog legs so have to think about some shots. Course suits left handers with a fade and right handers with a natural draw. Nice and relaxed with a decent pace of play never rushed or hanging about for those in front. Well worth the money booking on Golf Now

Essex wannabe

I played here years ago when it was a members only and had a few society days. But time budget and Covid have taken its course. To use a poor pun this old jumper is worn and shabby. . Perhaps a few more fairway cuts and a general spruce might help. It’s ok for the mid to high handicappers

Boys day out

Good day in the sun, course condition was good greens ran true a little slow on a few. Nice wide fairways with a few dog-leg holes so iron selection comes into play. Will play again
