Tough course undergoing redevelopment
Basildon Golf course is a tough little course, but for many many years lacking in money spent on it as a pay n play but someone took it over at the end of last year and they are spending money and making repairs.
Don't get me wrong, there is some way to go still I think, but out on the course today, you could see many workers cutting fairways and fixing the golf course.
The clubhouse and practice facilities are v limited, but they are building and extension at the moment so will be far better when completed. This also affects the practice green at the moment too. So fair play to them, and see what's like next year.
Now to the course itself ....
It's quite a tight course in places, so fairway tee shots are vital if you are going to score well.
There are many undulating and sloped fairways, which you will need some course management, (refusing driver), to stay in with a chance of par. Biggest problem is weekends and school holidays, as kids can and do get onto the course and can be a royal pain.
But it's a good layout of course and bites you hard at times, but good play can give quite a few birdie opportunities. I'll be back again next spring if not before
