Essexbhoy

The course stood up well to the very wet recent weather. Some greens were wetter then others but the course was perfectly playable.
The staff were friendly the course was a test with some long par fives. It was busy like most courses are just now but the pace of play was slow it took 4 hours for the round. We reckon we would completed the round 3/4 hour quicker but for being held up at every hole.
That aside I would return.

I'm part of a weekly fourball as such we enjoy playing different courses.
Through this website we got a good deal for a round at Abridge.
I checked the course own website and read that the greens had been hollow cored and heavily sanded.
When we arrived on course we checked in with the head pro who was very welcoming and he told us the course was quiet.
Having played on several extremely busy courses recently it was a delight to feel we almost have the course to ourselves. The course was in very good condition. Tees & Fairways perfect and the greens were a little trickier however after the work on them. But we still enjoyed ourselves - found it a tough fairly long course on the legs with lots of uphill holes but we enjoyed a welcome light refreshment on the clubhouse patio behind the 18th green!
Well worth a visit!

This course is not all about brute force, it's more a thinking mans golf course.
Dog legs, lots of narrow tree lined fairways, and some tricky greens keeps you on your metal.
Course was in good shape, greens were well watered and a little slow as a result.
All In all it was an enjoyable round.
A welcome beer on the bar terrace overlooking the first tee & eighteenth green finished it off nicely.
