Facilities
Clubhouse facilities include a comfortable and friendly bar and restaurant. The varied menu ranges from a full hearty breakfast and light snacks to a choice of home style cooking. The south facing terrace overlooks the putting green, providing seating and tables for al fresco dining, or a well deserved glass of something cold. Frequent evening events are held throughout the year, including casino nights, and barbecues in the Summer. The plans for the new clubhouse are now well under way. The two storey building will be constructed behind the existing clubhouse and incorporate a south facing balcony at first floor level and gymnasium below

Description

Mardyke Valley Golf Club is an 18 hole Parkland Course with undulating fairways, challenging holes and lakeland views.

A wealth of mixed specimen trees, both young and mature, add dimension and character to the course; streams and lakes lead down to the River Mardyke.

Set in the grounds of historic Ford Place, the signature hole is the 'Watery Grave', possibly one of the most charming holes in Essex!

Okay course

This is a course that probably doesn't give a great first impression, with a lot of holes visable from the front of the club house. The holes on view look very up and down (adjacent fairways), very flat, and seperated by recently planted trees. Indeed, a lot of the holes aren't especially memorable, but there are some nice holes here. The par 4 17th is probably the standout hole here, and it's one that will really test your game. The fairway is certainly narrow, and there's a lot of water to cross before you reach the green.

The greens had all recently been spiked when I played here, but I can imagine that they'll be very good once the holes have closed up. The (mostly wide) fairways aren't the best though. They were very dry and there wasn't a lot of grass underneath the ball.

Great winter course, ideal for beginners

Practice facilities consist of range balls and a nearby field with a few yardage markers and a putting green. Not fancy, but does the job.

Clubhouse staff friendly, serve alcohol and basic snacks and breakfasts. No frills. Changing rooms good and have showers.

Course always seems in good condition. Even in winter, course plays well. This course and nearby Top Meadow must benefit from natural drainage? A good mixture of holes, some short par 4s make this an ideal course for beginners/high handicappers. Midweek it doesn't seem busy.

Winter midweek rate was £15 complete with a breakfast! Check summer rates. No booking, turn up pay and play.

Recommended.

Decent course and at a great price

Course portraits to be easy but once the wind comes up the fun and games begin. Played here a few times and course is kept in a good condition.

Very nice course in early spring weather

Played Mardyke today and had a good round and only one temp green on 17
Would recommend this course to anyone and it's only circa 5miles from where I live in Dartford as long as tunnel and bridge is okay !

Enjoyed the day
