Essex

Thorndon Park Golf Club is the county's leading course, a parkland layout of considerable beauty where many holes are framed by mature oaks, some exceeding 500 years old. The atmosphere is unhurried and distinctly English, with the tree-lined fairways demanding accuracy throughout. Orsett Golf Club stands apart from its peers as an authentically rare find — a heathland course in Essex. Designed by Braid in 1928 and a regular Open Championship Regional Qualifying venue, offering terrain quite unlike anything else in the county.
