Average Reviewers Score:

Essex County Club

3^rd 40^th 44^th 96^th

The par five 3rd hole at Essex County Club is a monster and it is nearly as long as the sum of the first two par fours that precede it. But there’s much more to this hole than length alone.

23^rd 43^rd

The Donald Ross greens at Essex Golf & Country Club are prominent because they dominate a very flat, largely featureless property...
