What the club says: On 230 acres of rolling Essex parkland to the north of Gosfield Lake, where once the court of Queen Elizabeth I took the air, golfers now enjoy peace and tranquillity away from the bustle of modern life. In this idyllic setting the Course winds around and over the lakes, through woods and across streams in some of the most beautiful countryside in England.
The Lakes Championship Course here at Gosfield has the potential to become the finest inland test of golf in England" so said Sir Henry Cotton. Sir Henry was responsible for masterminding the design of the 6,700 yard Lakes Course and the less demanding 9 hole Meadows course in association with Golf Architect, Howard Swan. Sir Henry is remembered by giving his name to his own particular favourite hole at Gosfield, the 14th "Cotton's Choice".

Fancied a change from our normal course. The par 3 & 4 Jubilee was in very good nick apart from the bunkers being GUR. Ok for me as I did not go in one. A little expensive at ?25.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Oct 19 2020 by Derek M - rated 3 out of 5 £20 per round which is great value, most tee's have mats down or they are temporary tee's. Course was muddy underfoot and fairways on some of the holes the grass seemed long and rough.
got back to the clubhouse around 15:15 for something to eat to be told the kitchen was closed, possibly due to the current situation, in all an enjoyable day.

After all the rain we have had the course is in fair condition, the 5th tee is closed so you have a temporary tee, think it makes the hole better in my opinion..(Round played: Oct 2019 - Score: 104 Handicap: 28.8)
