The Essex Golf & Country Club - Championship Course

Catering for a 2nd time let it down,but will return

A very well maintained course, easy to navigate, long manageable holes, quite a flat and easy course to play, quite forgiving and usually have a shot even if in the trees.

Early tees are quite a bit more money but afternoon tees usually come down to a reasonable price.

Definitely worth paying the money to get on this course vs other courses I’ve played recently.

Lovely course to play on great playing conditions and course well looked after.. the only nip pic I would have is when you get to a tee you had keep looking at score card to make sure was playing the right hole and also get distance from tee off .. the no sign or plaque say if at the right tee or how far it is to the hole … but overall definitely play there again lovely course

As per the title, great round, greens in fab condition. But. Quite alot of geese, and consequently a huge quantity of goose poop.

Absolutely brilliant course greens fantastic course fantastic

only bad thing was had 4 ladies in front of me who had not got a clue . And I was also on my own and they would not call me through also one lady was actually playing in sandals which I thought a little wrong . Everyone as to learn how to play but have bit of common sense lat people through

First time I played it and the deal through GN was too good not to take and I'm so glad I did.

Very challenging and a good mix of distances on each hole.

Nice and flat so you didn't need to different thickness shoes to hit the ball.

Greens ran true and bunkers actually had sand in them.

Will play again this week.

18 handicap

Great course for every type of handicapper,. Staff friendly and helpful. Course in great condition given the weather recently. Highly recommend. Book on website or on App to save some money paying on the day at the reception.

Front 9 is hard work, opens up on the back 9.

Nice track

The Essex has never been ione of my favourite courses but it is a decent test with some really nice holes.

However on this occasion, although most of the course looked in good condition, for this time of year, the greens were just awful. There’s no excuse in June and when people are paying upwards of £28 for green fees, that your greens are in such bad condition.

It’s a pity because the rest of the course looked and played really nicely.

Long course but not a lot of character. Fairways were burnt but greens were soft. It’s ok but wouldn’t want to play here every week.

Maintenance was poor. Over priced. No practice facilities. Too many in the course. No course Marshall. No one let anyone play through. Waste of time. We walked off on the 15th as there was a queue of 3 groups of 4 balls

Winter conditions as one would expect this time of the year, muddy in places and some bunkers waterlogged, but still very playable, four of us and we all enjoyed it, no holdups so we got around four and half hours , good for a long par 73 , we will definitely will be back.
