The Lakes Course

The course designer, Neil Coles MBE, aimed to enhance the rolling landscape of the surrounding Essex countryside by creating a course with interesting features and landscaping. The tees and greens are built to USGA green specification and vary in design, height and undulation. Water is the predominant feature of this course coming into play on nine of the 18 holes with the fairways benefiting from an irrigation system. The generous fairways, large greens and water hazards provide a great test.

The Links Course

Completed in 1975, the Links Course has matured over the years, creating its’ own challenges with plush greens that bring the importance of the short game into play. The Links Course presents a very different challenge to the Lakes, testing precision to the limit with narrow fairways and strategically placed water hazards, sand bunkers and well-guarded greens. Accuracy is the key to success on this course.
