Sutton Creek Golf Club - Essex

A local recommended that this place had good eats. The setting as per the title is spectacular. The restaurant/clubhouse is large and brand new. They have a good and varied menu, very reasonably priced, but with a new facility and seasonal hours, they haven't quite gotten into a rhythm yet to be a great place to eat. We sat outside as it was a nice cool day and the AC inside was on the cold side. Beautiful gardens, rockery and ponds surrounded us. We were really looking forward to this. I ordered the onion rings as an appetizer and for an entrée, the battered haddock and chips. My wife ordered the Chicken apple, bacon, walnut spinach salad. My entrée arrived first and to my surprise was pan fried (so they said...it actually looked oven done), so I sent it back. As for my wife's order, over half of the spinach was not only wilted, but slimy. A chef should not miss this sort of thing with normal care. My appetizer arrived last and was missing the dips.Yes, it was disappointing, but not unsalvageable. My hope is that the kitchen receives better supervision in the future as this could be a real gem in the area.

My husband, brother, and I had a great time at Sutton Creek. We were warmly greeted at the pro shop and by Jeff, the general manager, at the tee. The backshop staff were also excellent. The course was in very good condition, thanks to some great changes made by the owners. We look forward to returning because of the fantastic atmosphere. I heard there is a female superintendent on the staff, and if that's true, she's doing a great job! The only downside was that the greens were slower than usual for Sutton, which is why it didn't get 5 stars from us. However, we still plan on playing there again!

We attended the Oktoberfest event at the restaurant and enjoyed the Polka band, bratwurst, sauerkraut, and beer. There was a lot of laughter and fun had by all.

A large group decided to take a trip here. we were 30 people. while a large group was not difficult to please with the choice of food. they served us in the order in which the food was ordered, and as the last person their meal got the first. where to eat. they were aware that we come and additional employees needed to cook and serve. they were good and the 2 server were friendly. they have specializations every day and the prices are appropriate.

We visited the restaurant again with a group of 24 people. The service was good and friendly. I decided to try a dish recommended by the staff, but I wouldn't recommend it. My wife enjoyed her salad. The menu had a good selection and everyone was satisfied with their meals. The prices were reasonable.
