Monday morning

The course is in very good condition. We played the course on a Monday morning and the price was reduced to £20pp. Which is value for money. I would definitely play at Theydon Bois again.

Avoid for a few years

The course is in poor condition due to lack of care. It will need a few years to recover. They are silly to charge people £39 a round on a weekend. It is shocking.

Animal holes on the greens which are also heavily sanded. Uneven tee boxes. Bumpy, scared fairways. The 17th is mud with lines of grass at one point.

Overall it’s a real shame, because the course layout is nice, so once the course is restored, it could be a nice challenging little course.

Do not play

Terrible course. The course is in poor condition due to lack of care. This isn’t damage from one winter. This is from years of poor maintenance.

The course design is nice and makes use for surroundings. However, the current condition and work being done, they are silly to charge £39pp! I think no more than £20-25pp as it stands.

Shocking course

Absolutely dreadful course. Worst kept golf course I’ve ever played by a MILE. The cheek to charge £30 for a round in the winter when it looks worse than a farm is as utter disgrace. WHAT A CRAP COURSE.

Great course

Brilliant day, started with a great welcome from the staff &. a lovely breakfast. Need to plot your way around the course as quite a few dog legs. Got round in 3 hours for a 2 ball.

Course in poor condition, compared to last visit !

Myself & a few friends have played several courses slinger lockdown was lifted but this is by far the worst course by a country mile. We played has a hot deal at £14.50 a person but if I had paid a full green fee, I feel more aggrieved.

They can't use the lockdown as an excuse because other courses actually look better because they have had time to recover. Don't waste your money & go else where

Too wet

I am well aware it has rained a lot over the past couple of weeks. Also, I enjoy a round of golf just as much as anyone and so would rather courses be open. But, when you turn up to a golf course that is open, one assumes it is in some sort of playable state (especially being charged £27 a round for an otherwise run of the mill pay and play course).

18 winter tees (mats), 3 temporary greens and one hole completely closed which my playing partner and I were completely unaware of until we arrived at said closed hole to find a green that had been dug up, no temporary green in sight and a blank "course information" board plonked on the tee/mat. Also, large parts of the course were pure mud, fit only for a drove of pigs.

Oh, and we also followed a 4-ball contrary to government covid-19 rules at the time of playing...

Hopefully it's pretty obvious to see why we felt the green fee didn't provide value for money. Having said this, the layout of the course is good with some interesting holes. I may consider returning when the weather is better, but let's hope keeping the course open in such wet conditions doesn't do lasting damage.
