What the club says: Ingrebourne Links boasts 27 holes of championship golf, made up of 3 loops of 9 holes: North, East and South Courses. From the 1st July 2020 we will have a full 18 Holes in play, “The Championship North/East Course”. The South 9 holes are scheduled to open in the summer of 2022.
The unique “Inland Links” style of our Championship Courses offer a very different challenge to the traditional parkland courses in the local area. As any golfing purist would know, a “Links Course” is normally close to the sea, but the rolling fairways, sleeper faced bunkers, gorse and large undulating greens at Ingrebourne really give you a 'feel' of playing golf by the coast! Please visit our website to view a virtual flythrough of the North and East courses at www.ingrebournelinks.co.uk.
Our Course Manager Ben Adams (previously Head Greenkeeper at the London Club) and his team maintain the courses to the very highest standards. A combination of expertise, the latest greenkeeping equipment and a “wall to wall” irrigation system help to give our members and visiting golfers that very special experience.

Challenging Course

Joined this club 6 months ago and have enjoyed playing the course ever since. It is a challenge with punishing rough. As the pro advice always says "keep it on the fairway". I play at least twice a week and even though the course is still maturing I look forward to each round I play.

Challenging layout in good condition.

At 7100 odd yards with only 1 par 4 under 400, it’s a tough test. There are some challenging teeshots with well placed bunkering, and although the fairways are generous, gorse and thick rough awaits any waywardness. The green complexes are sufficiently sloped and tiered to provide some interest with approach shots. The course could do with a driveable or short par 4 to add some variety.

The fairways and greens were in excellent condition, whilst the greens couldn’t be described as overly quick, they are true and more than adequate given my round was midweek and following some rain. The fairways have fairway watering and so are green and lush, and are a far cry from the burnt out bare fairways at other club courses at this time of year.

One downside is that whilst the vast majority of bunkers looked good, there were a couple of bunkers in poor condition or out of play - these didn’t tend to be green side or generally prominently in play though.

Warmly welcomed at reception on arrival and had a chat with some friendly members on the first tee.

Overall had a good experience, given the age of the course, it’s in good condition and is a challenging layout which will become better and better as it matures. I do hope that the final 9 being built will have a couple of shorter par4s (under 400 yards) to add a little variety

I'll not be back for a while.

It's fair to say that the people behind Ingrebourne must be passionate about their plan. And s lot of effort has already been put into the project. But for me there are many flaws.

It's difficult to know who Ingrebourne is trying to speak to. While I thought the fairways were fair and generally rewarded good shots of the tee, see same can't be said for shots onto the green. In my opinion green should be a challenge - quick, sloping, undulating - all fine. But shots onto these greens were a complete lottery. So, the the most patient of high handicappers would find them frustrating.

I get the feeling a low handicapper would want a lot more from their golf experience than this. It's far from a beautiful place. Looking up from the fairway, the horizon is industrial and closer to home are the many signs of a not quite complete building project.

I'd give it another go in ten years, but until then, there are hundreds of better options.

North and East courses

This has the potential to easily be the best course I. Essex. Which is incredible considering how new it is. A few areas of constant standing water that needs addressing and also the finishing off of the last 4 holes needs addressing but all in all a super option in this area

13 holes on the main course open (as of Oct 19) and you play holes 5-9 again to make 18. The full 18 should be open by mid 2020. Typical "Links" course, undulating and long fairways with some difficult greens. Add in the windy nature of this venue and the harsh rough (gorse), this is a challenging course for all handicaps. Fairways and greens are in very good conditions although some settling on fairways still occurring on a few holes as to be expected on a new course. The views are excellent and this will be a superb course in short time. Overall I had a very enjoyable round. Easy it's not, but if you like a challenge and your course management is of reasonable standard you will enjoy playing this course. The clubhouse is modern with good food. It combines with gym and bowls, so more of a country club than a traditional golf club and membership prices seem reasonable in comparison with other courses.

New course, bit longer than expected

Good new course, bit longer and more serious than was expecting. In excellent condition, rough and gorse punishing if you are off line. Green side bunkering rather weak in comparison to high standard of design overall. Be prepared for a test. Views and hospitality at club were also very good.

Great but overpriced

First visit to the North course where you play the same 9 twice to make a round. £45 inc full English brekkie was a tad steep. The course is a good challenge but the pricing needs reviewing. Greens were in superb nick and the fairways had plenty of bounce ( due to the dry spell I presume).

Played there a lot over the autumn and winter 2014 and found it held up pretty well. Less of a case in drier weather where the greens were horrid. 10 quid for a day ticket is great value.
