Was very very cold! -1/-2 our whole round, but considering the temperature and all the rain we’ve had the course played really well and was dry. Managed to get a buggy in December for my dad which is rare in Essex.

With all the new lockdown rules, club houses closed etc... it was definitely hard being outside in the cold but the hot food/drinks buggy going round was a great idea, wish more clubs did that! The young girl serving was lovely, although she looked frozen, course was hard, very little carry because of frost but we would definitely play again.

Last time we came we saw some improvements, we decided to play again this week and glad to see the same work has continued.

With all the rain some mud was to be expected, the 8th was still quite wet so hard to walk up but still playable. The 18th was fun chipping over the lake, with the lake one side and bunkers the other it's like coming up on an island green. The 3rd hole coming down between the lakes and the river was a little wet but still tidy.

Last time we came the bunkers were much better than they were in the past and its nice to see they've kept it up, although might need a bit more sand in some of them and some were holding water, but nothing too bad.

This is a tough course, but the mixture of holes and all the hazards make it a good test of your game!

Been playing here maybe 1 or 2 times a year for a few years, and let's be honest it was really run down over the last few years. Messy and hard to play.

But a really pleasant surprise this time, considering the bad weather we've been having down here it was lovely to go out and see they've made some big course improvements! Yes there was some mud on the way round, and it looks like they've laid new paths to help get round the course. The 18th playing into the club house was really well presented, looked very pretty playing in towards the building and chipping over the lake.

Biggest improvement is the bunkers! a few still had some standing water in them, but we had a lot of rain the last few (months lol) but seeing that they've tidied them all up and really improved the sand and presentation for play was a big surprise.

This is a tough course, its long and there's basically water and sand everywhere, but in decent condition its a really good course to play!
