What The Club Says
The 6,900 yard, 18 hole Championship County Course has already won critical acclaim for its challenging yet fair features. With four par 3’s, nine par 4’s, five par 5’s, ten lakes and strategically placed bunkering give a spectacular beginning and finale to the round. The course provides a constant choice of shots for golfers of all standards.
18 hole, Par 73, 6,907 yard course
The 2,200 yard, short par 34 Garden Course, offers a different challenge altogether. Its tightly guarded greens, tricky par 4’s and attractive par 3’s present an intriguing and popular challenge to beginners and experts alike.
9 hole, Par 34, 2,200 yard course

Not having yardage markers this time was not great either.

Nice course
Played at The Essex a fair few times over the years. Fairways were a bit dry and patchy but consider the weather, that was expected. Green were in pretty good condition, just a few residual marks from being spiked, probably a month or so ago. This is a nice course and worth a visit.Reviewer Rating

Great golfing day out.
Friendly place with nice vibe. A longish, flat parkland course with wide fairways, water hazards and bunkers that can trip you up. Course in really good order, firm given the lack or rain. Staff friendly, food fair price but underwhelming. Really good practice facilities and an excellent driving range onsite.Pace of play was good, perhaps a few too many buggy users, but that’s a personal thing, I walk as want the thinking time between shots and the workout.
Great for families as there is swimming pool, spa, paddle tennis for non golfers.
Thoroughly enjoyable and I recommend.
