Needs a bit of TLC & £ spent
I get frustrated with this course, layout is pretty unique and fun but the state of the bunkers and especially the greens are terrible considering the size and ambitions of the club. I really hope the new owners spend the money and labour required to get this course to the place it deserves.
Review
Greens were very poor and the bunkers full of stone, some quite large
Poor greens
The fairways and tees were all in good conditions but the green had been spiked and were rock hard with no water on them and u could land it next to flag and would end up over a out of bounds fence as just impossible to stop it on the green like landing on concrete
Playgolf Colchester review
Nice compact course and challenging enough for the average golfer. Slightly let down by tee mats that don't need to be there and state of the bunkers.
Only twelve holes open on the day, this wasn’t communicated until we checked in. Staff not very helpful
Guess the don’t have a greenskeeper
Having not played here for several years I found the fairways poorly maintained and the green quality intermittent.
Lovely course always enjoy and relaxed atmosphere.
Would the love the fairways to be looked after a bit, more sand in bunkers and markers if distance all holes.
1st time play course
Condition off course eg fairways and greens excellent. Layout of the course good, although some signs to show where to go to next tee could be better especially after the 18th green to show exit to clubhouse. But overall a very nice course to play . Will definitely play here again.
Ok for practice
Watch out for range balls as you walk up the 1st. The bunkers are shocking and full of stones. Not very club friendly. There was hardly anybody on the course so the pace was great. A good place to get some practice in, but not bunker practice. It’s a shame because there are plenty of bunkers in play that would make for a challenging round. I just dropped out of them as I value my clubs
Maintenance Required
The course itself is ok, but the upkeep needs serious attention. Bunkers with stones in, the fairways were more like rough, but if these things were addressed the course would be much better. Wouldn’t play again unless these issues were resolved.
Decent course
Course was generally good.
However quite spread out so will take long without buggy.
Some bunkers were in bad shape.
The course was decent, apart from the bunkers being full of Waterl. I like this course though
Good but not best value
I like the course but it is a £20 course like last year, not £30/£40 that they’re now asking.. Not a surprise there are very few playing compared to other courses
