Golf in Essex

Essex is home to quite some nice golf courses, but there are also quite a lot of other things to see and discover in Essex. From the globally acclaimed nightclub Sugar Hut to the calm of the Blackwater salt marshes. From the vibrant hum of Chelmsford, UK’s newest city, to the historical majesty of ‘Britain’s First City’, Colchester. Essex is a county in the south-east of England, just north-east of London. The deep estuaries on the east coast give Essex the longest coast of any county. A high proportion of the Essex population, mainly in the south, commute to London.

Stoke-by-Nayland Golf Club
Voor het tweede jaar op rij beide banen gespeeld. Vorig jaar net als in Nederland hadden de banen te lijden onder de droogte. Dit jaar liggen beide banen er fantastisch bij, mede door het intensieve(re) onderhoud. Voor £10 is er een elektrische trolley te huur in de pro-shop, een buggy kost £30. Twee schitterende banen om regelmatig naar terug te keren.

Ook het hotel is top voor 210 pond 2x greenfee,2 nachten,2x een diner en ontbijt. Door de 36 holes, het hotel en de geweldige drivingrange met alle faciliteiten is …
