The South (formely Duke)
The 'South' course, at 6,616 yards, is regarded as one of the finest courses in East Anglia. A series of lakes and open water throughout the course encourages exciting, challenging and strategic play within a visually beautiful landscape.

The 'East' course offers a relaxing and enjoyable experience for players of all abilities. This executive length course, measuring 4,670 yards, is ideal for beginners, and those wishing for a speedy and unencumbered round of golf.

Having played the East course on several occasions, it is very hard to criticise the course, the green keeper can only do so much, if players are not prepared to repair pitch marks on the greens there is not much he can do about it, Generally the course is not the most difficult to play but stray off line and you might struggle to make par. Great 18 hole course for those golfers who need to play a proper course without the handicap of seasoned golfers worrying about how you are playing.

Tricky course for high handicappers.
I like this course. It's quite tricky for high handicappers but gives you a good game which tests your abilities when you play. The course is in reasonable condition, the tee boxes need some attention, however the greens are good. Great pro shop and club house with very good food. It shuts at 15.00 for food which means you can't eat after your round if you tee off later in the afternoon.Reviewer Rating

Tricky Course
Suffers from poor drainage but is a great course to play. Only one par 5 but lots of tricky holes where you need to be accurate off the tee. The tee boxes and bunkers are getting some much needed attention. I really enjoy this course and would recommend you play it.It has a very good driving range, putting area but no practice for chipping or bunker practice. good food and very friendly staff.

We play most Wednesday?s on the East course, it has been waterlogged for much of the year so far. This week ( 3/4/24) they introduced temporary tees, by strimming an area in front of the proper ones. Not ideal when trying to play your tee shot.
Then they have the cheek to put up the senior rate to ?18 for a round.
Why don't they wait until the course is actually playable before putting prices up.

Ever improving
Since bunkers were reconstructed last year The Rayleigh Club course is a great course to play. Big hitters will love front 9 with visitors n shorter hitters preferring most scenic back 9. Very rarely closed due to great drainage.Reviewer Rating

Where did the bunkers go?!
Ironic that first tee was off limits as it was being reinvigorated only to find that every bunker bar about three had been filled in on the course since I was last here. Greens okay, but spiked. Fairway grass not great and those drainage channels are a nightmare, as always. Worse still was the standard of the ground that used to be bunker was so poor. Slope rating must be reviewed, surely. Course was all but empty on a Wednesday pm roundReviewer Rating

Nice course
I went here with a few friends to play one afternoon. We played the east course and found it a nice scenic walk and fairly easy holes. Would definitely come back however there is a lot of litter there and it is quite a walk round. Would definitely recommend a buggy or at least a trolley.Reviewer Rating
