Woodford Golf Club

Superb greens. Fairways excellent. Brilliant variety of holes despite only 9 greens. Friendly staff (including the Course Marshall). Thank you as always for providing an excellent golfing experience.

6 hcap, played on Monday 2nd June. Superb greens. Fairways in excellent condition. Tee boxes always suffer, owing to size and double useage, despite having 18 separate assigned tee off positions to the 9 incredible greens.

Friendly course Marshall doing his job very well and ushering me through a slower 2 ball, not required but appreciated.

This is a very good course. Despite its length (relatively short with at least 2 drivable par 4s (1st and 7th) and makeable par 5 in 2, 6th hole), the course requires respect, and can easily bite. Play the percentage when needed because the course will present opportunities. Thanks to the greens staff/marshall and all concerned.

I definitely encountered racism here. The manager of the club, who is clearly familiar with their rules, treated us unfairly. We were asked to leave our credit card as a deposit for a trolley that we had already paid for. Later, we found out that leaving a credit card is only required for people who rent clubs — not for trolleys. No one else was asked to do this, except for the two of us, both Asian women. This is blatantly discriminatory and completely unacceptable. I will never recommend this club to anyone.

I re-read my original review and everything still applies. Absent are benches, ball washers, on-course bathrooms or port-o-potties or comforts of any kind. You must consider the slope of the fairway before picking a target line because it is quite common to hit a straight drive down one side and end up on the other side. There is a strange spot where a par 3 plays right across the fairway of a par five. Several of the tee boxes are placed in such a way to put those upon it at risk. The greens were strangely slow, and I came up short on putts nearly every time. Considering the price and the pleasant staff, I'd say it was still worthwhile overall.

We turned up to the club house (club shack), we was expecting some form of staff member to be around considering it was a Monday, so we could sit down in the club shack before our round. However, the staff member that was working was out playing with the members. Normally, i would suggest that is a good thing to do, however, when youre the only staff member working, i would suggest not to do this.

Nice friendly course. Exceptional value for money. Played well in the dry. Decent enough length and couple of nice water challenges. Check in at the bar before you tee off and ask for an explanation re finding the 2nd and 3rd holes. Would definitely recommend for a nice 9 holes near to central London.

6hcp. Precision is key. Greens are (all in all) for time of year, very good and VERY difficult. You’ll find out when you short/wrong side yourself! Fairways very good with plenty of roll out, making accuracy key to scoring low. Spring/Summer tee boxes in play. It’s a good course if you play it smart, with plenty of opportunities. Don’t underestimate it. Enjoy.

We wanted an early tee time . Woodford had one , went with all the best intentions. Booked a 2 ball on golf now . We had 2 extra late additions on the Friday night . Tried to book the extra 2 spaces but couldn’t . Arrived to an empty pro shop ( not open . Then the rudest greens keeper ever arrived out of a house next door , abusive , wouldn’t let us speak , offered to pay the extra 2 spaces but he kept abusing then walking off . A right piece of work . Avoid this place at all costs , greens where nice , everything else is toilet

Had an argument with a dog walker that let his dog come up to me and bark aggressively. This is not the first time dog walkers have disrupted my game,it happens most times you play here.

Then there was a club member that was hitting his ball off the tee when I was in the same fairway,and was obnoxious when I pointed this out to him saying he was a member and he was in a hurry.(he owned a black Lexus)

The course itself is pretty good (especially the greens) it’s a shame you can never have a smooth no incident game there.

Well my 1st Game of the year and had fantastic weather for it. Pace was okay, but there was a Club Competition (4 ball) that we followed so was a bit slow, but as it was a nice day I didn't mind. Local course to me and suited me. Conditions was okay a bit wet in places but you expect that and it will only get better

Absolute the worst course I have ever played at:

- Tee shop did not open when I showed up at 12 PM, couldn’t rent a trolly

- worst maintained Greens

- walkers on the course make the pace of play 1.5 times

Never going here back again

6 hcap player. Played 28th Dec 2024. Winter tees in respectable condition but alignment poor. Fairways in good condition for time of year. Greens, testing at best of times (imo possibly the most difficult and arguably the fastest in Essex, during Summer) hollow tined recently and therefore inconsistent, but manage your expectations, it’s December in England?

Biggest let down. Pace of play. Too many ‘hackers’. If you don’t know what a ‘hacker’ is, you’re probably one of them. Please go to the driving range until you are competent enough to play. I beg you!!! OR, just wave competent golfers through. Then we don’t mind if you’re slow or learning, and we respect you for it. Nice course. Thank you. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

What a cracking 9 hole course just off Woodford high road .got to be some of the very best greens I’ve ever come across and considering it was the beginning of December and had been raining for the past two days got to take me hat off to the green keepers 👌

Pace of play was good, but Fairways and Greens need more work as they are being repaired but you should be told before booking

The course is OK.. a few fairways has trench ditches on which you can't see. Lots of dog walkers and school kids walking through as your playing.. On one drive off I did smash the ball about 280 yards and the local school kids walking on my fairway run and picked up my ball and run off with it lol 😆. Overall OK for a 9hole but 18holes is the same 9hole so front 9 and back 9 are the same holes which is abit 😴. Staff are lovely parking is easy just register your number plate in the club house.
