Golf Breaks in Essex

Essex has firmly established itself as one of England's most exciting golf destinations — and it's easy to see why. Bordered by the idyllic East England coastline and sitting just a short trip from London with excellent transport links, the county combines gorgeous rural scenery with an outstanding range of golf courses, luxury stay-and-play resorts and genuinely warm hospitality.

From championship parkland layouts that have hosted European Tour events to boutique hotel-and-golf packages ideal for a weekend break, Essex punches well above its weight as a UK golf destination. Whether you're after a relaxed overnight stay or a multi-round society trip, the county has the courses and the facilities to deliver.

As a golfer on holiday in the East of England, you’re spoiled for choice with an abundance of really great golf courses around the region. Some favorites include the Constable and Gainsborough courses at Stoke by Nayland. These two are both considered to be among the best in this area - partly because their designs honor and embrace their fabulous surroundings.

Essex is diverse when it comes to topographical features, but it's also significant in terms of its history. The Essex Golf Union was founded in 1924 with 23 clubs and now has approximately 90 affiliated golf courses throughout the County serving up stern tests for the visting golfer.

Essex is not only great for golf but also has lively nightlife with very easy access to London. Why not explore the multiple historic towns & villages away from the golf course as well as the the idyllic East England coastline providing some of the best views in the British Isles.
