Theydon Bois Golf Club

Great looking course. Friendly staff throughout the day. Course in good condition. Greens were very smooth. Ten out of ten. Every hole has a different story with an individual challenge. With only one par 5, the course didn’t feel quite as long as it is but it’s tricky and you need to manage your round, ensuring you work out the correct shot on every hole. Great fun

great, challenging course - well kept greens

Only negative we were unable to get breakfast It was explained the catering was independent of the club

Course in excellent condition very enjoyable day

Wie schon viele andere Bewertungen schreiben hat der Platz einige Löcher bei denen ein Driver nicht benötigt wird oder eher zu riskant ist, um in eine gute Lage für den Schlag auf s Grün zu kommen. Der Platz erfordert daher auf einigen Löchern gutes Course Management, obwohl diese nicht sehr lang sind. Trotz der Trockenheit waren die Bahnen gut spielbar, Abschläge, Grüns und Bunker sind in einem gute Zustand. Zum Einspielen stehen ein kleines Gün und zwei Abschlagboxen zur Verfügung. Von der Terrasse der Bar hat man einen schönen Bick auf das Grün der 18 und Abschlag 1.

Für das Greenfee ist dieser Platz eine klare Empfehlung!

A challenging course with a lot of tree’s lining the fairways. Front 9 was harder than the back 9 but both were challenging.

Greens were slow in pace, many of them two tiered.

Well worth the money at £22 on Friday afternoon work round.

Went to play Theydon Bois a week ago was brilliant from start to finish excellent service in the pro shop very helpful the members made us feel very welcome who we met before playing and the course was very interesting and fun. The food was very good in the club house and will be back again soon for another round would thoroughly recommend this course 5 star.

We really enjoyed playing this course it is in great condition, very good test of short game as holes aren’t too long but greens are quite tricky!

Everyone was really friendly and welcoming … we hope to visit again one day

Greens were in excellent condition 30th May 2025. Fairways and Tee off areas were standard. A picturesque parkland course winding through Epping Forest. Despite its length (lack of), the course demands careful club selection. You will NOT be able to let leash with your driver. Personally, this doesn’t appeal to me, but the course is interesting and well maintained and represents good value. Staff as always, very friendly. Slow play on the day put down to Junior Comp ahead and tee shots running into the trees which frame the fairways. Expect dodgy bounces. I called it Theydon Boing!!

First time here , was a little worried due to the yardage however this place is incredible

Don’t let the yardage put you off

We played off the whites

I Play off 7.8

The condition was excellent

The layout was tremendous

You really only need a driver on 2 holes , the rest an iron or 3 wood

Overall a fantastic place and I will be returning soon

If you like narrow and trees in your way this is the course for you.

I’ve never been on a golf course which is trying to win garden of the year on the fairway…….

If you look inconsistent greens this is also the course for you. Oh and don’t forget the bumps like a Belgian waffle.

Enjoy!

We've played at Theydon quite a few times over the last few years and it's a nice enough track. Still a little muddy underfoot but that's to be expected as it's built on clay, its definitely a summer course.

Only other moot points are that the kitchen doesn't open early enough to grab a bacon buttie before an 11am tee slot and we weren't advised about the state of the greens when booking, they'd been hollow tined recently and not sanded very well, as one of my playing partners commented it was like putting on a Belgium waffle. 🥴

I know this work needs to be done but a warning would have been nice as we could have left it a week and played on their usual lovely putting surfaces.

All in all a nice course.
