Dog Walkers Paradise
Decent enough course for the price, well kept greens.
There is one drawback, the amount of dog walkers on the course. I'm not exaggerating when I say there were at least 20 people taking their dogs for a walk up and down the fairways. There were other people just going for a walk as well. It was terrifying walking up to a tee not knowing whether a dog or a person would come running up the fairway just as you were hitting.
I think it just a matter of time before someone gets really hurt on this course
Great 9 holes
Great little 9 hole course on the edge of Epping Forres. We played 9 holes, in a 3 ball, and pace was steady.
It was autumn so greens had been hollow tined, and some fairways still recovering from summer drought, but, still played well. Ther are some tricky holes so makes you think when you can't reach green in Regulation.
Took the dog which is great.
Around lovely autumn afternoon.
Great greens, overall fun course
Stunning greens. Fairways very much parkland style and quite dry in places. Some tee boxes not in the best condition.
Matched up with 1 other player who was a good craic.
Great 9 hole course
Course in great condition, especially the greens which were excellent. Interesting layout in Epping Forest. Really need to think carefully when on the tee. This is not a course to just pick out your driver on every hole. Careful placement is vital. Greens are true with Interesting borrows. Will be back.
Played 9 holes, Greens seem to be cut smaller than last visit. With the pace being slower than expected for prime season.
Pace of play was very slow, joined as a 2 ball on 1st tee, caught up another 2 ball on the 3rd tee as was being held up by a 4 ball.
Fairways burnt out which made course play short, still good value for money 9 holes price of a basket at the driving range.
I took the dog!
Great friendly open course that let me bring my own dog!, My dog enjoyed it so much we went round twice. Take mozi/ bug spray as there's quite a few. Overall I had a great round of golf and will definately be going back.
Great greens!
Great value round but lots of public out on the course as it’s an open park. Would recommend and the greens were really good. I’ll be back.
It was good but I couldn’t play the last 9 holes
The course itself was good, quite short but very tight and offers a unique set of challenges. I am couldn’t play the final nine holes as there were too many groups in front of me (you play nine holes twice) so this was poor management by the club. The course was pretty good and had a good time

Warm welcome on a warm day - by staff and members. Course in really good condition, especially the greens. Remarkable as it’s got walkers, dogs etc as well. Smooth rate of play until the last couple of holes. Everyone very respectful of each other.
All in all a pleasure to play and one of the best 9 holes I’ve been on.
Dreadful
Wasn't expecting much given the cheap price but whole experience was dreadful. First time visitor, no signage to even tell you that you are at the right place. Couldn't tee off due to dog walkers and joggers, like playing in a ploughed field.
Not what was expected
Although I have graded this a 2/5 I genuinely believe they have done best with what the could.
So to clear up what was not expected, this golf course is actually in a park. Like people, dog walkers and cyclists constantly around you, Making it hard to keep rate of play up. To note on this my friend hit one down the fair way and a few dog walkers walked roughly near the area, we couldn’t find the ball anywhere so we’re like 95% sure one of the dogs grabbed it.
The fairways are roughed up because it’s a park, me and my friend decided to pick and place because of the lack of grass. However surprisingly they’ve done a really good job with the greens.
I definitely think it’s overpriced.
Great greens!
Enjoyed the round but had some trouble navigating from tee to tee. I’ll be back. Great little course!
