Woolston Manor Golf & Country Club

Played a few courses nearby and woolston manor is without doubt the best value for money. Good condition with some really interesting holes- would recommed!

This is the second time I play this course, and I was sort of surprised why I cannot remember anything but the first hole. Soon, I realised that this course cannot be remembered that easy unless one plays it few times. There are so many dog legs, bunkers and natural features, which must have completely confused my brain the first time. I do not know who designed Woolston Manor, but I must say they have done very well. Part of it uniqueness and beauty is river that runs through it.
I found the course really challenging, I do not want to be understood wrongly, so I will add charmingly challenging. There are so many bunkers, dog legs and lateral hazards, and the course makes you think about every stroke.
The quality of the greens and fairways is close to perfect. There are some GUR areas, but I could tell that the club is in a process of upgrading the course.
Number 19 is also very nice. There is a big TV screen in the outside area (enormous), with supper comfy garden furniture and a pool. Absolutely brilliant place to have a refreshing and well deserved pint, after being morally trashed by the intelligence of this beautiful course.

As a person who has played most golf courses of Herts, North and North East London, I would give Woolston Manor 9 out of 10. 9 because, I have not been to a place that stroke me with a 10 yet.
I definitely recommend this course and I will definitely get back there!!!!
All the best!

Lovely layout and a real pleasure to play. There are beautiful holes all over the course and challenges from the tee and fairway. Just avoid the bunkers (very shallow, compacted sand which left its mark on my wedges!), the large areas of barren ground around on some holes and dial in your game from 140 yards in beforehand. Will definitely come back again and again.

Haven’t been here for 2 years.
Love the lay out.
Greens have improved but bunkers need some sand in them.
Always enjoyable

I booked a t time for 3 people and on arrival 1 person was put into our group. Play was very slow took 4 hours to play 13 holes , eventually walked off once we saw 6 people waiting on the 14th.
Course in fair condition apart from bunkers won’t be coming back

Nice course with "resort" feel.

Only small gripe is having to putt around all the bird (geese) $#%t.

This lovely picturesque golf course has everything i enjoy on a golf course. Plenty of thinking required for shot placements but also opportunities to open your shoulders and attack. Fairways and greens are well maintained although the bunkers were bare and grainy. I went midweek and the clubhouse was closed before we finished at 7pm so didnt get to enjoy a drink afterwards which was a shame but very much enjoyed the golf. Highly recommended!

Come on Woolston, this could be a really decent course but get some proper sand in the bunkers. Worst sand I’ve seen in Essex. There’s rocks about 3” x 2”. the rest is between sharp sand and ballast.
This is not exaggerating either……

Course was quite firm I guess due to lack of rain. Greens were slow but ran true. Only real criticism bunkers around greens need more sand. Near impossible to play a proper bunker shot as Club just bounced on a hard base with just a dusting of sand. As this course has a great deal of bunkers would need to see this addresses before I would return again. Price of round for a Saturday was good value however.

Second time I’ve played this course. It has some interesting holes and is a good challenge, however it could do with a bit of TLC. The greens are very bumpy and slow and the many many bunkers could do with a freshen up (I.e put a bit of sand in them). The entrance to the club itself is quite grand and considering they call themselves a country club, they could really do with sprucing the place up a little throughout.

Very nice course, a bit challenging as there are plenty of Bunkers and Water hazards but it makes it really nice!

This course had it all, bunkers, water and trees! Great fun, great course condition, great layout. 2nd time playing here, can't wait to go back for the third!

I really enjoyed playing here and I will certainly return.

There is plenty of water and LOTS of bunkers - I genuinely don't think I've ever played anywhere with so many. I probably got more bunker practice than ever!

My only small criticism would be that there was no course guide available.

On a course with numerous holes where the flag is not visible from the tee this made for extra difficulty.
It also meant that it was hard to get a feel for the overall layout of the course, and it wasn’t always obvious where the next tee was.

However, all that being said, I had a thoroughly enjoyable round and I will definitely return at the earliest opportunity.

Played midweek. Course has dried up well. Winter tees have gone and you can get a golf trolley around with ease. Played here a few times and the course is always in good condition. Greens are starting to speed up now as well. Will definitely be back.

Great course with some very well designed holes...back 9 has some very challenging greens with ideally placed hazards..would definitely recommend if you like to play relatively flat but challenging courses...

Course looks very tired and wet under foot but overall good condition
Club house and patio very tired and needs some work wouldn’t want to eat there also no cushion for patio furniture
