DESCRIPTION:

Belfairs Golf Club in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, is a charming 18-hole municipal course that blends natural beauty with strategic design. The par-69 course stretches over 5,616 yards, making it an inviting yet challenging layout for golfers of varying skill levels. The course winds through the serene Belfairs Woods, offering a picturesque setting where ancient trees line the fairways and create natural obstacles, demanding precision and thoughtful shot-making.

The course’s highlights include its undulating terrain and several well-placed bunkers that add complexity to the approach shots. The par-3 holes are particularly noteworthy, with narrow greens and surrounding hazards that test short game accuracy. A peaceful round at Belfairs also offers glimpses of local wildlife, adding to the tranquil experience.

Situated near the A127 and A13, the course is easily accessible, with Leigh-on-Sea railway station just a short distance away. Local landmarks include the iconic Southend Pier and the delightful Old Leigh village, known for its quaint charm and seaside atmosphere. Belfairs Golf Club is a delightful retreat for golfers seeking a mix of challenge and natural splendour in a well-connected Essex location.

A public course tricky tight tree lined, but dogs and public too

Belfairs is great value for money and suitable for the casual golfer.. Greens slow and non moving and the fairways need a little TLC.. but getting there.. Good VFM!!

You get what you pay for

Public course which is actually a park, at £15 for an afternoon knock it's not too bad. Could do with some investment, especially some signage as it was difficult to navigate,but that's unlikely. All in all not a bad course which I'd happily play again despite the masses of people with and without dogs, almost got one of em lol.

Good course, spoiled by the general public

Belfairs is a classic parkland course, some tight fairways and some good holes. What lets it down is the general public, people walking dogs and some without dogs meander down the fairway oblivious to the fact that there are golfers trying to play.

Not a single bunker today had a rake, probably because the public nick them. The guy in the pro shop was pleasant, and the course in general was in reasonable condition. However I think this I will be the last time I play here for a while.

PS: there are no practice facilities here

Unfortunately I would no longer recommend this course due to the issues with the public when playing the course.
