Anyone played it and what were your thoughts?

I am going to be moving to Ely in the next 3-6 months so keen to know if the course is any good. I'd look to play it a few times before considering joining but always good to know what the forum thinks too.
 
Nice course, quite tight in places but very pleasant nonetheless. Good active membership. Does get a bit wet/heavy going in the winter and very busy during peak summer months - but then, doesn't everywhere.
 
It is a very nice course. Unfortunately it is extremely wet from about November to March. A good number of their members play at Thetford over the winter months.
 
My BinLaw is a member and I have played it loads its a great course long off the whites and the par 3s are very strong but varied in length and difficulty.. Fees are more than up here in the north but worth every penny. The committee has made some good decisions over the years not least in getting their own water supply and doing a load of draining of the fairways. Good strong selection of Pros in the shop all in all its a good club to be a member of, If I lived in the area I would join in a flash.
 
Ely is a nice course I always enjoyed it. Thetford is a better course though, and as said plays a lot better during the winter. I really enjoyed my time at Thetford, very friendly.
