Loved it!!
Just when you think you've played every kind of golf course, along comes one that surprises you....this course is like no other I've played!
If you like to smack a driver 300+ yards when you play or if you have a power fade, this is not the course for you but if you like 'thinking' your way round, have a good short game - you'll love it.
Nestled on the edge of the famous Epping Forest, this course winds its way through parkland with narrow fairways and small greens but note, 70% off the holes favour the 'draw'. Alas, something I don't possess.
At only just over 5000 yards, leave the driver at home and enjoy laying up and flying in the flop shots.
Otherwise, friendly staff, a big veranda that overlooks the 18th and a small but well-stocked Pro shop makes for a good golfing experience.
I'll definitely be back....but without the Driver!

You got too hit fairways (but isn’t that part of the game?)
Mature tree line sort parkland course cut in Epping Forest with some undulating fairways with firm & true greens with green side bunkers an easy walk. Every hole is individual.
Rewarding course, not just a “grip & rip driver”.
I went round only using a 5 wood & irons off the tees.
Your course management will have to be at its best as there are plenty of doglegs more left then right with tight fairways.
No water hazards but some holes have lateral ditches & hedges. Bunkers OK. Some tee boxes were a bit poor.
Overall the courser was in excellent condition.
Excellent club house & pro shop with friendly staff.
Practise putting green, driving nets, ball cleaner on every tee box.
Definitely worth playing, but you got too hit fairways (but isn’t that part of the game?)
I will be coming back.

Testing fairways, very well maintained.
It's a long time since I played Theydon. Better than before. The course is in really good condition. Very competitively price for green fees, with a loyalty card scheme that means even more golf for your money. Had a long conversation with the Pro, now Director of Golf, about a taster membership which looks very attractive. Would save having to travel so far to play around Herts and Essex (cost of fuel and all that!) Seriously, a nifty short course, not too taxing for the old legs, and the electric trolley helps.
The clubhouse would benefit from good food being available before and after 18 holes. A more varied menu would help to make the taster membership more appealing if I were to make Theydon my home course.
All said and done, I will be back, much sooner than later through the Autumn months.

Normal service resumed at Theydon Bois
A much warmer welcome than last time. Pro gave us all the information we needed and we were able to tee-off early. Course very quiet which made for a speedy and pleasant round. Fairways were in very good nick and lots of work had been done to remove a number of untidy areas around the course. Greens extremely firm and will not hold so game needed to be adjusted to cater.
Friendly welcome from young lad behind the bar on return to the clubhouse capped a fine afternoon.

Trees and more trees
Tight course where your iron play needs to be straight and up to scratch - mine wasn't and consequently spent most of my time in the trees. I will go back again on a value deal, but full visitor price is a bit high. Course really let down by the most unfriendly welcome by the club pro that I have so far received in Essex.
