I make an eagle about every 2 months. All of our par 5's are reachable in 2 with the right wind so can end up hitting driver+8 iron into one of them. Have made eagle on a 590 yard par 5 after a 349 yard drive followed by a 4 iron to 4ft (it was downhill and downwind in spain)
We are very well catered for in essex:
Thornton cup scratch-5hcp played off scratch with foursomes in the morning and singles in the afternoon.
Leslie wood-same as above but teams off 10 7.5hcp and over.
Norman plum-12.5hcp and over bb match play 3 teams home and away. Straight forward...
Not even close to leaving. There is no standout course in the area so I certainly won't be changing like for like. I'm tempted though to join felixstowe as a second club and play it through the winter.
I got stitched up before with ano m1 driver. The owner described it as excellent condition with no pictures of the crown. When received it has a sky Mark one centimeter across the crown. Took a nasty hit on the resale.
Good course and always dry. We play it every March on a stay and play and it's always in good condition. Like above driver is not needed on a lot of holes and the course doesn't play as long as the scorecard suggests as the ball runs nicely.
