What the club says: Since opening for play in 1907, Thorpe Hall has proved to be a fair but stimulating test for golfers of all abilities.

Although modest in length by the standards of modern course design, recent additional fairway bunkers give longer hitters pause for thought while the ever present mature trees that line the majority of the fairways provide the main defence of the course against all players. A wayward tee shot into the trees can often be costly on the scorecard.

Absolute carnage!

Turned up to play with a member at 10:30 on a Saturday as guests cannot play until 11:00. Walked to the 1st tee to be met by a 40 person queue as there is no booking system. This was made even worse by people that teed off on the 10th cutting in. We had to wait 50 mins before teeing off and every tee box after that was met with a 10 minute wait. The round took over 5 hours.
Apart from that carnage the course was in great condition. Greens were great. Clubhouse is welcoming.

I asked the pro after why there was no booking system. He said that the older members believe it is their inherent right to be able to play whenever they want. He also said that every weekend is the same. Honestly will not be visiting again unless a booking system is put in place.

Top Notch Course and Club

On a beautiful afternoon in late May, it was fantastic to get out on one of the best courses and clubs in Essex, its a gem of a course, difficult and long (over 6000yards off the yellows) and in fatastic condition. Stay on the fairway they said as the rough is very difficult to get out of...no kidding. Could not fault the course just my driving. Highly recommended to anyone to try it. Its expensive to non members (£45) but worth it IMHO.

(Round played: May 2021 - Score: 99 Handicap: 20.1)

Great track, amazing fairways

Loved this course. Long enough to use the driver but tight enough to be really challenging. Some amazing holes, big drivers can drive a few greens (hitting 300 to 330 yards). Greens quick and challenging but true.

Proper Golf club

Really well maintained and everyone was very friendly.
Tight course but challenging. Was very wet but nevertheless was in good condition.

Great Course

Well kept and hard but enjoyable to play course. The course has a great clubhouse with good changing facilities. The course is fairly flat and had plenty of choice of play.
