The hotel was comfortable although the layout on entering was a little strange having to go through a security barrier each time to get to the bar & restaurant.
Since 1990, the Essex has built a reputation as one of the region's best golfing destinations, and as the courses mature, this will only continue to improve.

Golf Courses at The Essex Golf & Country Club
County Course
The 18-hole County Course is the signature of the Essex Golf and Country Club, and is a tremendous blend of challenging and enjoyable holes. When played from the championship markers, the layout measures some 6,907 yards, making power a serious advantage, particularly on the 5 par-5s which can offer good birdie chances.
The excellent design is fortunate to be supported by a fully computerised irrigation system which helps to keep the teeing areas and putting surfaces in pristine condition throughout the year. The best holes on the course bookend the start and end of your round, where it is essential to avoid the severe bunkers that guard the greens.
Garden Course
The Garden Course is a charming 9-hole course, which is kept in comparable condition to the formidable County layout. The mixture of challenging par-3s and short par-4s make the Garden ideal for beginners and learners, but also represent some light relief for those who have tackled the ‘big course'.
In addition to the two golf courses, the Essex Golf & Country Club is one of the most complete practice and tuition destinations, featuring a 20-bay driving range, a specialised academy facility which boasts the latest video technology and even an indoor practice area. The qualified PGA professionals are on hand to provide expert guidance and tuition.

Unfortunately we were behind a club competition although it speeded up after 9 holes. The course was in pretty good condition considering the long dry spell & the greens were excellent.
