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, tricky par-4s and a par-5 makes 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.

Accommodation at The Essex Golf & Country Club

Guests enjoying the superb facilities on offer throughout this superb resort can relax in one of the 42 spacious guest bedrooms.

If the exertions of the Essex's facilities leave visitors tired, there is no doubt that they will enjoy the over-sized beds and comfortable surroundings. Added extras include satellite television and outstanding panoramic views across the golf course and the estate.

The outstanding gymnasium features the Technogym key system, including the new Excite range, and is one of the county's largest.

Guests can relax in the swimming pool, steam room, sauna and sun beds, or play tennis on the six indoor and three outdoor courts. Those travelling with young families can leave the kids at the crèche while they take advantage of the superb facilities.

The Sports Brasserie serves home-cooked classics in a comfortable clubhouse style.

Reasonably comfortable, but like most hotels the windows are restricted for opening. Noisy from adjoining room as the soundproofing is poor. Although giving several weeks notice for the meal menu they had run out of some of the selected meals. Food ok. Service in the restaurant good.

Staff were lovely, professional and very helpful. The bar and restaurant set up is pretty good. Food was good. Bar closes early at 10pm. No entertainment or anything. The rooms were pretty poor and need some renovation. Mould on the bathroom floor due to a leak which was staining the clean towels dropped on the floor. Bathroom needed a complete refit. Beds were uncomfortable. Spa and pool areas were great. Opposite of the rooms, clean and up to date.

In general the stay was enjoyable, on occasions the service was slow, only because the volume of business and shortage of staff. I was disappointed in the choice of included dinner, but in general as I say an enjoyable trip.

While reception staff were great, the experience in the bar/restaurant were not as good. We were informed that a cooked breakfast was not available due to staff shortages. We knew from friends who had stayed 2 weeks previously that this was also the case. Whilst not really an issue as far as we were concerned, perhaps this information had not got through to you. The free drinks in recompense were not provided despite reception sending a note to the bar.

The actual accomodation (in a seperate block) was looking rather tired, especially the bathroom. In desperate need of modernising. The 1st floor restaurant was out of use. So eating in the bar area was not really appropriate.(tables far too small for a 3 course meal & with drinks on as well, for 4 people) Staff were struggling to cope at designated meal times. Due to the reduced facilities comfortable after dinner seating was already occupied.(unless you went back out to the reception area) Bar service closed at 10 pm.

Fantastic trip to the Essex golf and country club staff were very welcoming on arrival and tee off was on time the course was in fantastic condition especially the greens receptive and fast the only slight beef was the 4hrs 45 min round but the sun was out. Evening meal was good and all plates were empty. The rooms are a bit small and and hot but they were clean and functional breakfast was a bit poor but for the price u can’t grumble to much. The second round was a lot quicker just over 3 hrs all in all well worth a look

First day on the course was great, fantastic weather and speed of play was good for the time we had booked. Second day very slow although we had an early tee time was stuck behind a very slow 4 ball. The driving range is one of the best I have practiced on. We really enjoyed the course and will book again soon.

Rounds 1 & 2 were great with no one behind or in front of us, and we completed the rounds in less than 4 hours each. Round 3 followed a seniors (?) match with 10 sets of fourballs and was obviously much slower (4 hours 40 minutes). We joined up with one of your new members who was on his own behind us, which slowed us up, but we still had to wait for 5 minutes on most tees. We really enjoyed the course!

The greens recently worked on and studded which resulted in a less than true role although we appreciate that the course has to be maintained. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Lower handicappers will find this course a bit easy, for the average golfer the course has just enough trouble to make it challenging, wide fairways, generally the course as a whole was in good condition, greens are very slow, but we did have a lot of rainfall before we went, overall would go back again

Day1. Finding your way, Buy a £5 course planner, no layout on the score card (noisy planes all day, next to an airfield, trip flights) Day 2 was easier(Still noisy) Flat course layout. Some elevated tee's. A lovely tree lined course. Lots of hazards to avoid, but that is Golf. Greens tricky to read, pace & line.

Tight golf course with many hazards water, sand and lots of trees narrow fairways but the real gem was the greens receptive and fast. Played two rounds Sunday was so slow 4hrs 45 mins and Monday’s round was just over 3 hours so a lot better great driving range

If I lived close to the course I would be a member. The course was very playable with some difficulty in certain areas but a treat to play on. Play was a little slow on Wednesday but that is understandable as Wednesday is the Seniors competition day. Monday and Tuesday was perfect.
