To be honest, it isn't that bad, considering the amount of rain that has come down in the UK. At Felixstowe we've had 305mm of rain in the last 3 months, had the course closed like never before and many times 5 or 6 holes closed off due to being waterlogged. At £17.50 a round, it is a bargain for anyone wanting to play golf on a budget and would like to see the course in the summer if they let you back after this video title 😂
Has been so wet
Bit harsh to judge the course in Jan and we have had so much rain when most other courses are closed. I’ve played there and it’s a cheap round with great staff so can’t complain.
Agree staff are lovely!
I am out of my bin@@thegolfsupply
I think it depends how you look at it , if you’re just starting golf and just want to get out for not much money then it’ll do the job.
Obviously it has its flaws but for less than a quid hole you really can’t complain
Yeah the price is class
@@thegolfsupply your class keep it up
@@NateEdwardsGolf 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thought you said in the video it wasn`t worth a pound a hole ?@@thegolfsupply
Tbh…there is a massive need for clubs like this…I started playing golf at Beckenham Place Park which was run by Lewisham Council…most intimidating tee shot in golf…50 fellas laughing when you skanked it…sadly no longer a course but shouldn’t dismiss breeding grounds for youngsters etc getting into the game….from what I’m seeing most courses are suffering at the mo…great to be living in Portugal 🇵🇹 😎
100% agree with you mate, clubs like these should absolutely exist in the golf eco system!
The Notleys will always be the best course to me 😢. £50 a year for a junior membership. I’m pretty sure by now each round is costing less then £1
Warely parks free up until 18 for membership
Yeah pricing is class
Even better
Very harsh to do a review when the course had lying water and reviews from 2019 & 2020, the latter at the start of the pandemic possibly? As some have said, for those on a low income or fixed budget and want to play the game, this course fits the bill. You Tube golfers are generally privileged enough to play on better, more mature course where green fees are more expensive and that has to be remembered. On a final note, foul language regardless of context is not what’s needed on videos such as this and I couldn’t see what audiences this video was supposed to be for; was it supposed to be informative or was it a ‘lad’s video’ having a laugh on a course clearly not fit for play and basically ‘taking the p**s’ in some excerpts. I watched the whole video, some parts were good but generally, my feeling was what did I actually learn from it, was it worth doing in those conditions and did the video give a fair assessment, I would say not. I have also checked the course website out; google reviews 4.2/5 and recent reviews are favourable as are green fees so I think, in hindsight, it would have been fair to the course owners to remark on this in the video and, of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Few points my friend: A) as I stated in the video (that you watched all of) I know we are very lucky to play some beautiful golf courses and we do not take that for granted, we have also worked extremely hard to earn that privilege, just because we have a RUclips channel that doesn’t mean everything is handed to us on a plate. B) We didn’t cherry pick any reviews, these are genuine reviews from people who have played the course. C) If the course isn’t fit for play then it shouldn’t be open. D) Absolutely people getting into the game of golf or people on a lower budget could come and play this course and enjoy their rounds as their criteria of what makes a golf course would be less than that of a seasoned golfer… that doesn’t take away the fact that the golf course is not a good one. E) Yes I did take the piss in some aspects of the video because some aspects were laughable, we are not good monthly giving a written review of the course, we are The Golf Supply and our genuine audience knows what we are about and our intentions are always to entertain. And finally F) if you don’t like the occasional swear word that an adult would use, then we suggest you probably shouldn’t watch anymore of our content as you’ll be easily offended by us being ourselves.
You wasn’t supposed to learn anything from this video. We are not an educational page, we are a golf channel who try to make entertaining videos for our followers.
@@thegolfsupply appreciate the feedback thanks, wasn’t questioning how hard you have worked to be able to play the courses that you do, the comments you will agree are on this course only and there are more views out there more recent than 2020 and it would have been fair to have a balance. As I said, everyone entitled to their opinions, I generally enjoy your videos but this one IMO didn’t reach your usual higher standards. Keep up the good work and happy new year!
Lucky to find a course that was open ! Give it another go in the Spring. Perhaps you could do an Essex Top 10 ?
Is there even a top 10? 😂
What prat would do a review of a golf course after three months of rain ?? , oh yeah this Prat who did the review
What prat would reply to a review with negativity, oh yeah this pratttttttt
@@paulmullin3043 How should you reply then ? , condsidering the amount of rain that`s fallen , what a true and totally unbiased opinion , lol , like I said What a Prat review !!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video ☀️
Bit of a disrespectful title. You’ve gone out on 31st December and complained about how wet it is. What do you expect? Most of Essex golf courses were flooded this week. If they were asking for double price then I’d get the title, but for £1 a hole, come on?!
Ok dude, guessing you’re a member? So let’s look past the fact the course was underwater… how about the rubbish piles on the course? The carpet running through the fairways? The lack of any definition between rough and fairway? The fact the course REMAINED OPEN? Or we just gonna focus on the fact the course was underwater and covered in mud (which would not be the case with every other course in Essex because they would close)
@@thegolfsupply I appreciate what you’re saying and I don’t disagree with some of the comments about improvement. I also get the benefits of a click bait title, but just felt it was a bit extreme for the actual weather conditions and value of the course. If they did invest more into the care of it then it would improve but the price would increase for members.
@@SNJ08dude this is just pure neglect of a golf course…. Has its place as I’ve said for beginners or people on less budgets to come and enjoy the game for sure!
But this doesn’t mean that it isn’t a really poor standard course?
What a @@@
How can you give an unbiased review on any golf course considering the amount of rain we have had over the last few months ? , the man`s a prat ....
Read the comments section of other people who have played the course at all times of the year.
@@thegolfsupply I did !!...... still makes this so called review a load of crap and totally biased ....... Go look at other course`s built on clay after three months of solid rain !!!!......
@@robbie111ish this wasn’t a review
@@thegolfsupply LMFAO , Really ? what was it then ?????? , load of crap .
I think its worth it if it was dryer but more importantly I think its a good place for people new to golf to go to. I appreciate we all start somewhere and I'm bang average at best but I'm sick of people who have swung a club for a week taking on tough courses prematurely.
Bernard's watch was class! I tell me kids about this all the time. Fuck super powers I want Bernard's watch. No more doing anything tired, click the watch and kip til your well slept. 18 holes would take about 20 minutes. Take your shot, click, unclick at the ball. Means I could get in 72 holes in before work in summer 😂😂
Last note, when is Ash vs Bullard happening. I want to see an 18 hole match.
Haha Bernard’s watch is the ultimate super power
Great course this, the guys have done a fantastic job keeping this going through a very wet winter and also making sure the members are benefiting by being able to play and get value for their memberships. This is a proper golfers course and always represents a decent challenge, you won't get bored playing this course like you would playing a flat course every week. £17.50 represents very good value for money, try buying a couple of pints at a premier League football stadium and then see if you think that represents value for money
🙏
100% in that condition should be closed. Far too wet to be open. I’d say play it start of summer to gage how bad it is.
Oh for sure
Bargain for £18 cant expect much in the winter my home course gets boggy but still had good reviews 🤙🏻
Bargain a bit steep
Bargain!!?? Its shit!!!!
@@calderjack7818 why u crying
Was born in Braintree and lived in black notley, thankfully left long before I took up golf! 😂
Excellent value, keeps the swing going also great for occasional and new golfers.
Fair
Be good to have a game there again in the summer actually don't look bad weather's been a joke the place shouldn't be open
Layout is really good mate, just lacks funding to get in into shape.
It's not too bad mate 😅 I filmed there couple times last year and wasn't too bad mate (this ain't me bashing you either ✌️)
I’m not sure how it could be worse dude? 😂
@@thegolfsupply 😅😅 granted that day you went looks awful, I meant generally it's ok. Still enjoyed the whole video though... And yes I did stay till the end of the video after you asked the viewers 😂✌️
@@GOLFDAYS good lad
WTF did you expect ??? after three months of rain ? .... Was you given permission to film there ???
@@thegolfsupply
@@robbie111ish Member alert.. 🚨
Them used tee boxes are brilliant they look like boxes of tnt 🧨 🤣🤣
Hahahaha
Great content lads, just subscribed. Worst part of winter golf is grabbing that ball out of the freezing cold water 🤢 you’d think the camera guy would offer to do a couple 😂.
Thanks for the sub!
If it's as bad as the 'short' and reviews it'll be horrendous...this should be interesting 😂
What happened after the 15th? I switched off then...
Psych!!! 😂😂😂
The layout actually didn't look too bad...but yeah, course maintenance is difficult when it's done nothing but piss down since October.
Finishing level Ash (& in the dark again😉)...you may have well stayed home in the warm and finished with the same score 😉
Mate I filmed there couple times last year which you may have seen. I know you seen a couple my vids
@@GOLFDAYS Hmmmmm 🤔 I may have watched one or two Lewis 😉
Happy New Year fella...best of luck for 2024 🤞
@@KentnDebi haha it's all good mate I ain't on ya 😅 ash makes wkd content .. happy new year to you too my friend.. Thanks mate, same to you and your videos🙌
@@GOLFDAYS I didn't think you were having a pop Lewis 😉
Yeah, Ash and the boys have had a great couple of years...quality has gone through the roof 👍
@@KentnDebi ✌️😂. Yeah they are doing incredible stuff, it's only ever inspiration for myself and other content creators
Love the vid. Played this course at the end of February, my second ever round of golf! A very hard challenge but found about 40 balls which made up for being covered in mud 😅
Nice work! 😂
In Braintree for the weekend from Manchester and played here yesterday after seeing this promo video! Had a proper laugh cos we knew what we were getting ourselves in for 😅
Hahaha love this 😂😂
Just FYI Ash, it’s “the water in Mallorca isn’t like what it outa” not sure where Gibraltar came into it! 😂😂 Great vid, hideous conditions for a round of golf!
Haha potato potato
Just one question Ash, why not just lift the flag up to retrieve your ball and not get wet fingers 😂
Golf world stansted rivals that for worst course in Essex. 9 holes £19. Give it ago 😂
Haha nah I’m gonna give it a miss
He said at the beginning it is just his opinion guys, Personally I think it would be great value to keep the swing going at £17.50 in the summer time
Not allowed an opinion these days 😂
How about visiting in average weather. All other courses where shut due to adverse weather
Probably never visit again boss 😂
The nearest course to me - played it twice, hated it!! Its knackering too, getting up those hills on a sodden course with all the gear aint easy
Yeah it’s really hilly this one isn’t it lol
Chingford could be another contender for you to do a similar round to this - played there for £10 today teeing off at 1 pm!
I don’t think we are taking recommendations 😂
Much respect mates for being out in such bad conditions 👊🏻 hope they didn’t have to cut your frozen foot off 😬😳🤣🤣 stayed till the end 👊🏻 was funny even though it must have been brutal! Well played Ash 🏌🏻
I was so done with this round after the rain started on the 14th bro 😂
That's better than my course at the moment.....lost 3 fairway balls on Sunday...plugged and lost 🙈....
Tragic ain’t it winter golf
Well done to keep going. Cold wet standing water . And level par. What a fantastic course 😂
Thanks 👍
How’s it even open !??the amount of standing water on it! This is why I don’t play winter golf. Walking around in the slop and muck …..NO THANK YOU!
Couldn't agree more!
Don’t wear Jordan’s either
Great video, would love to see how you get on at Rivenhall Oaks. Always welcome to come and join SLH Rivenhall (our little motley crew of weekend degenerates) for a round, you prob know Lee and Ricky from Crondon 😊
You played meadow?
From experience I’d rather play that than Carnoustie. Even worse in a different way for me. Made me give up golf for 10 years.
This is a mad comment 😂
@@thegolfsupply yep. It ruined me. Even the name makes my hair stand on end. I’ll never play it again 🤣
Great video, fair play battling in those tough conditions 👏🏻
Thanks 👍
Omg Bernard’s Watch! Top Tier ❤ Was telling bear about that the other day
What a program
This deserves a bunch of likes just for your perseverance Ash.
Dug deep on this one 😂
Absolutely brilliant. In bits the whole way through. 😂😂😂😂😂. Ron Dog 😂. Rainsman 😂😂😂
Jokes haha
You did well to stay the course,i would have been off when the rain came,horrible weather,i was going to play in the winter,as i have a big goal,as im a fair weather golfer really,but all the courses are shut,and it just hasnr stopped raining,and watching the tom tit you played in,i think march looks good for me.😀😀😀 Well done by the way.
Haha yeah wasn’t fun bro
You need one of those little ball suckers on the end of your putter 😂
Bro that would have been so helpful haha
Thank god i live in the tropics. From whatbi understand you've all been basically underwater with not so warm weather. Cold day here is 25c
Tell me about it
Dunton hills greens are worse than that in the summer 😂
No way lol
This is a great course when dry and all the staff and members are lovely.
Great value for the money. I certainly do NOT agree with this fool..
Matthew my friend…. I’m sure the members are top class, we actually know a few ourselves. Secondly, agree that for some people, this would provide great value for money. But what we can’t agree on is this being a great course pal 😂. It’s a solid layout, as I said in the video… but it isn’t a great course, it’s in fact terrible.
Hopefully bump into you down there one day hey 👊
Im a Kent bod played quite a few over the darkside id have to say top meadows is the worst ive played 😬
Oh really haha
Wow….. 😮 could have played Cranham for that.
Want to see you play my home course The Heron
🤝🤝🤝
Should come over the bridge and see some of the awful ones in Kent..
😂😂
I think £17.50 is a bit steep for this time of year but I’m from up north with my course is only £20 in the summer and it’s a lovely course. Things can only get better tho 😂 great video as always
Thanks brother
Defo steep for this place!
Mad because I knew Ash was from Essex and I thought, it HAS to be Notleys when I saw the thumbnail.
It's dreadful there.
Hahahaha
Played this course last summer. Can say there is never a difference between rough and fairway. Greens were long so at least you had them cut. Was charged £20 on a Saturday morning and still felt robbed 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
All in for the worst course series 😆 I’ve seen Blake’s in worst shape than that.
I don’t think I could put myself through it
Who gave you permission to film it ?
Permission?
Need to get over to bunsay downs if you think that’s bad
Oh no 😂
Play warely park golf course the most hills in Essex
Might check it out lol
Give blaby GC ago in Leicester pure awful
I’ll pass 😂
You haven't played Canvey then 😂
I haven’t lol
@thegolfsupply well you'll be in for a treat lol
Ash, I played this course in the spring a few years ago and I shit you not there were dead rabbits with their eyes gouged out on multiple holes.
Think I got it for £12 on GolfNow and I overpaid.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Differinciation 😂😂😂
That’s the one
Mate when the cold sets in it’s grim. However to be a good as Ron dog we must grind daily. Going the Ron dog!!!
@@adamwatts3311 I’ll dish Rondog up this year 😂
These lies are good every time and i dont mean in faireway is west cleaning the ball and make lies good? 😂😂😂
85% of the time the ball plugged dude 😂
Par first hole nothing said but second hole you was not warmed up bogey😂 if some off your shits shots had been better you would have finished 3/4 under even in the rain
It’s because the first hole is really just a long par 4 so I got away with it 😂. 2nd hole is actually a hard par 3 tbf irrelevant of the condition. Tiny green and almost 200 yards up the hill!
You think that's bad! You want to get to fingle glen
By the sounds of it I don’t 😂
@@thegolfsupply grass on the green is longer than the fairway
@@dextervittles589 😂😂😂😂
You appreciate your own course a bit more after watching this 😂
Certainly do lol
GOLD!!!!!!
The boy
That looks genuinely disgusting. It would be an act of pure self-loathing for me to pay money to play that course.
Content is king lol
They should be paying you to promote the course, always been a like a ploughed meadow! Fun video though 😂
£17.50 down after this one haha
@@thegolfsupply you’ve got a decent little series in the making here though, The GS Essex Tour..⛳️
@@chriswhiskin5996 I don’t think I could cope 😂
