Well maintainded BUT...

Boyce Hill Golf Club is a private members club nestled in south Essex a few miles of the A127 and A13 and not far from Rayleigh and Southend.

On arrival, you'll see what seems like a traditional style clubhouse but on entry, you are met but a very modern interior, with huge glass windows, allowing you to watch those on the 9th green and the putting green. However, walk through the french doors to the patio area and you can watch the golfers finishing their round on a very pretty Par 3 hole.

So things to be aware of:

1. Boyce Hill is exactly what it says...hilly!
2. There are a lot of blind shots, so don't expect to play to your handicap the first time you play
3. The Greens are very well maintained and lighting quick
4. Whilst short-ish at 5,800 yards, you will need to be conservative to score well

Another thing to mention is the food. Not only was the bacon roll on arrival, probably the best bacon roll I have had in years, but the food post-round was excellent too.

So, without describing every hole, all I will say is this is a great course, that I would like to play again and again, as I have no doubt if you are familiar with the course, you would do better than my meagre 22 pts.

However, at £47 a round (midweek), I suspect there are other courses close by that are better value but as a one-off, it's worth the money!

Enjoyable

Good facilities, fully stocked pro shop.
The course has lots of sideway slopes as well as up and down fairways, hit the right ball and it will run.
The greens are fast, miss downhill and they don't stop.
Exellent condition.

Cannot comment on price as I was playing in a match.
