Essex Area

[Craggles89]

Anybody play in the Essex area, looking for an away day at a 'posher' club than my local to get out there a bit with some mates?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'd say Thornton, Abridge and Orsett are worth looking at.
All open qualifying courses.

All of the above are up there. I also liked Chelmsford.

Where do you play currently?

Thornton Park, Abridge, Chigwell, Romford and Orsett are very nice courses. haven't played Chelmsford yet myself.

Not played them myself yet but have heard that 5 lakes and The Essex were in good condition earlier in the year from a mate that played there. Not sure how they will be holding up after the recent rain.

Got to say, I have never heard anything good about Five Lakes.

There are some nice clubs in Essex. All those mentioned above, I would add in Stockbrook Manor and possibly West Essex.

I personally think Chelmsford is excellent, but then I might be a bit biased

I didnt realise you were based there. Nice tracked, only played it once but really liked it. It would be I my list to join if I lived a bit closer.

Hi Rob,

I only joined there in August. It's only 5 mins down the road from my house so very convenient. If you ever fancy a round give me a shout.

I have two members from another forum coming to join me at my local club - Three Rivers (Nr South Woodham Ferrers) on Saturday 2nd November, you are more then welcome to come down and join us for a 4 ball.

We are meeting at 8am for a tee time somewhere between 8.40 and 9am. Round will cost you either £20 or £25 (can't remember which), and we'll be sticking around for a few beers and some food afterwards.

Let me know if your interested.

Glad I had a look at this thread now. Am planning to take the missus and kids away fro a few days next week and had been looking at Five Lakes as a possible. Bit of golf for me, spa for her and swimming pool/Colchester Zoo for the kids. Will have to look elsewhere. Any recommendations for somewhere around the Colchester area to stay?

Despite my forum name I actually live in north suffolk and am a member of Dunston Hall near Norwich. I was born in Chelmsford and grew near Colchester hence my unfortunate allegiance to the mighty Col U.

Currently play at Crowlands heath in Dagenham, play Hainault as a treat when i can. Thats about as smart as I've been.....

I assume this is aimed at myself / anybody on this thread, thanks for the offer, Mav! Unfortunately I am already playing on that day at Hartswood in Brentwood otherwise I would have bit your hand off with the offer. If anything changes, and you have a space still, I will give you a shout :thup:

Was a member of Crowlands, but am re-newing at the beginning of March time to get ready for the nicer weather. I will throw Maylands into the mix also, as i have played there once and seemed a nice course. Anybody played there ?

 

[Scotty_Tom]

Played Maylands a couple of times, nice course. I would say where you are you should try and play Romford as a treat, very nice course.

I live in Romford and work just off crow lane, but have never played crowlands, been to the range a couple of times though. I am a member Ilford, have been for 17 years, we used to live in Seven Kings then moved to Gidea Park around 11 years ago, joined Romford, but I stayed at Ilford as I knew everyone there and played all my golf there.

I have heard good things about Romford course, but need a member to sign you in I believe. I think I have played Ilford before, is that where the clubhouse and course are on seperate sides of the A406 and cross a bridge to get too?
I think around here, Romford and Maylands are premium course, but dont know too many. Trying to arrange a round with a friend over Abridge as thats meant to be quite nice.
