Great day

Travelling down the A1m I was not expecting too much from Woodham golf course from stories that I heard a few years ago. How wrong I could be.Not a single member of our 16 man party could find fault with this course. Infact we were all blown away by the scenery,coure layout, condition. Above all by the friendliness of the very hard working staff.
So many challenging holes !!!!
1st a rather easy par 5. Very wide fairway. My kind of hole, I like that.
5th is so scary if you have a fade or a draw. All the par 3's we found were tough especially the 17th uphill approx 190 yards ( i think). On a personal note I loved every hole and can't wait to play again.
One huge complaint is that the course is not 30 miles further north.

Brilliant layout

Having been a member of this club in the past I was interested to see how the course was playing, Woodham has always had the reputation of being a bit wet underfoot but the staff and owners are certainly getting on top of the problem, by no way eradicated but certainly a long way towards it. The layout is second to none in the area and every hole tests your game, we really enjoyed the round and would highly recommend a visit.

A pass out from the wife & kids

A great afternoon out with my brother in law who was visiting from Birkenhead with his wife & kids. Not to be out done by Royal Liverpool we both thoroughly enjoyed the course (Royal Woodham) which was in excellent conditions after 5 days of rain.

Didn't so much mind the slow play as it extended our pass out from the wife & kids :-)

The course offers timely challenges with great bunker placements & water hazards. Great value for money & definitely worth a play.

Excellent value for money

First time playing this course. Booked afternoon tee time which was quieter but no slow play. Course is great and the back 9 very challenging with the water hazards. All in all had a great day and great value for money on a great course

Ignorant and rude members

Ignorant members(4 ball) on foot not letting us play through even though we were in a buggy and playing par golf behind. Inconsiderate and blatantly ignoring our gentle advances to play through.

Will never set foot on course again and had to walk off to go to alternative course after 3 holes.

I think this is an absolutely completely unfair comment to make. The work is being done following 5 months of closure due to horrific weather. Fairways are in really good condition and greens are getting there.

Water logged

The weather that day was good and I decided to take advantage of it. It was only £10 through tee off times and seemed like a good price. It was explained to me that the conditions were damp and there were certain temporary tees and the 17th hole was closed. I expected the ground to be soft but it was very soft in many places and I lost around 5/6 balls off the tee because they plugged. The condition of some of the greens were below par and made it difficult to judge when putting. I like the course but won't come back until the weather has warmed up.

Getting back to its best

Played this course a lot over the last few years but when down hill a lot but things are back on track here. Greens were slow and very spongey but the rest of the course was in fantastic condition. A lot of work can been seen to have been put into the drainage problem this course used to have and the club house/bar has a great menu and great food

Good all round

Would have been excellent all round but the course is still recovering from winter, but only in one or two places. We played at a quiet time so no problems with speed of play. Everyone friendly and helpful.
