Quality greens

Mature tree line parkland course which had an easy walk with undulating fairways.
With fairway bunkers all in the right places.
Only the 3rd has a pond water hazards on the left of the fairway.
The greens are fast & true the best I’ve played.
Practise putting/chipping green, indoor driving nets! Driving range. Tee Ball washers.
Each tee & 150 marker has a flag green indicator post.
The course was in excellent condition.
Old charm club house & pro shop with friendly staff.
“Value for Money” is based on internet price of £21 normally £45which makes it a bit pricey.
This is a club I would become a member.
Would recommend to any golfer to have a round. You would not be disappointed.
Golf course is one of the best I’ve played in Essex

Quality course

Saturday afternoon 2pm tee for £21 on a top course has to be the bargain of the year. Coupled with fast but beautifully consistent rolling greens, James Braid layout, mature tree lined fairways. A few visits to bunkers revealed a nice depth of soft sand. Many thanks to Ed for booking and will definitely play again.

Friendly but a bit pricey.....

Played here on a Sunday afternoon in the hope the course would be clear but actually nice to see local members were still teeing off after 2pm! The course is parkland in design and has enough holes to keep you interested all the way round. The greens were is great condition too given the recent dry patch but the fairways were a little bare in places. There is no water to speak of but there are some fairways bunkers to avoid (I didn't!) The clubhouse has a very traditional feel as the course dates back to 1907 but it is by no means stuffy. Everyone was very friendly and made us welcome, so I would definitely recommend. My only criticism would be in the green fee? £40+ for visitors is way too high. Speak to the secretary before booking as they may be happy to discount. Will be back!
