A good test of golf it has a bit of everything
A good municipal mature tree lined hilly parkland course with undulating fairways with some tight fairways & dogleg holes with fairway bunkers & true greens. Don’t remember seeing any water hazards. There are some lateral ditches so course management comes into play on some of the holes.The greens, fairways & bunkers were all in good condition. Not much rough due to the trees.
You will find practice putting green, driving nets & friendly staff. Overall a good challenge.
Sadly no racks for the bunkers. We paid £12 with a free paint of beer. At £27 is about normal now days.
A good test of golf it has a bit of everything. It's had a lot of money spent on it in the last couple of years and it's now paying off. It gets thumbs up from me. Definitely worth playing. 4 Oct 2023

Sad but True - Its going Downhill rapidly
We have played Basildon so many times over the past decade or so on Weekdays and Weekends. Its now official it's money first despite the shocking fact that the powers to be are letting the course drift to such a poor standard. Some of the greens were completely unplayable with tyre tracks all over them. Our society was charged £39 for a microwaved bacon roll and the privelage of playing a course which has now disintegrated into such a state. It's very sad, some people really need to look at themselves and get this changed before it's too late. I know a lot of investment went into the clubhouse, that's no good if the course is now terrible. Such a shame.Reviewer Rating

Like many Essex courses, heavy rain on clay based soil is difficult to manage. Despite this most of the greens and fairways were fine. The Christmas dinner was marvellous and the staff were fantastic.

Nice course in good condition. Quite a few holes where you really need to think about positioning farther than just how far you can hit it off the tee. Would definitely recommend.Reviewer Rating

A good course quite hilly in places with some tricky holes due to undulating fairways, course in good condition seeing no rain for a while, greens very good but slow, some tee boxes need attention, but overall an enjoyable course. Clubhouse good, staff & members very friendly

Decent public course
Basildon is my local course and so I have played it regularly over the years. This time it was very dry and with many fairways sloping across the line it proved a very tough challenge to stop the ball running off them. The greens were in decent condition, but the rest of the course needs some water on it.Reviewer Rating
