What the club says: The Heron Golf Club lies mainly facing south and basks in the southern sunshine. The panoramic views over the Thames Valley and into Kent are truly magnificent. The three courses, Hawk, Heron and Vixen have been designed with spaciousness and nature in mind and have been blended into the established gently rolling landscape. Varying the mix of course can give some interesting combinations. Every hole is completely different offering its own individual beauty, interest and challenge.

Worth a visit
Course in very good condition. Although some fairways a bit soggy in places the greens in very good condition. Bunkers also very well maintained. Some tees playing off mats but even these were in good condition - your tees could be used without difficulty.Reviewer Rating

Great staff, very obliging. The course seems to have had a lot of money spent on it and it is still continuing. They are now improving drainage throughout the Heron and Hawk courses. Buggy?s are used all year round as the path goes throughout the course. One problem is that the card and Golfshake stroke index?s don't math on the 2nd Vixen and the 14th on the Heron course.Reviewer Rating

Backat The Heron
The Chooseday Nomads - Eight of us descended on a miserable July day to return to formerly South Essex now The Heron Club. Playing the fantastic Heron and Hawk courses. Course was in vg condition and the greens were quick despite the deluge of rain. It was a tad expensive for mid-week at £32.50 but that's because we are used to paying around £25ish.Bacon rolls were ok but again a tad expensive as well as the coffee prices
Overall very enjoyable despite the rain and all golfers said they would return .

Nice people boring golf
This is quite a long sloggy course.Not very pretty and the bunkers were dreadful.
The greens were not consistent.
If you like big open and long fairways this is for you.

From South Essex to The Heron - noticeable changes, big improvements, both on and off the course. Looking forward to a return trip when the course is drier to really give it a go.Reviewer Rating

Renamed Heron from South Essex, 3 9 holes courses Heron, Hawk, Vixen, we played Heron/Hawk. Course was wet but still in wonderful condition, must give credit to ground staff. This club has transformed since being taken back by original owners who have invested a lot of money & it shows. All staff friendly & food great, had a really enjoyable round with brilliant facilities
