Essex, the oldest county in Great Britain offers a unique blend of modern golf courses and traditional golf clubs that ripple with history. Essex is only a short trip from London, with easily accessible and excellent motorway links, where you will find fantastic value for money golf breaks. The county has a wide array of golf courses, scattered up and down the coast, as well as inland heathland and parkland layouts, offering affordable golf in surprisingly rustic countryside settings. Accommodation, as you might expect, is easy to come by in this part of England, particularly with Essex renowned as one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations. This is partly because many hotels run partnerships with local golf courses, that means you and your group will get a truly memorable golfing experience without breaking the bank. Colchester is the county town of Essex and is steeped in history, being Britain’s first city and the capital of Roman Britain. It is home to many family attractions such as Colchester Zoo and Colchester Castle, with a multitude of places to eat and drink. As for golf courses, Colchester has a few to choose from. One fine example is the Playgolf Colchester course, which is located on the edge of the city, in glorious countryside, in an area known as Lexdon Wood, just off the A12. The main 18-hole course has an outstanding reputation for being both inspiring and beautiful, lifting the spirits for every golfer who plays it. A course for all seasons, it offers a challenge to even the most experienced golfer. Boasting spectacular views across the surrounding Essex countryside, this superior course is home to large teeing areas, eliminating the need for mats during the winter months. The Playgolf Clubhouse is an inviting space, being a bright and spacious modern construction, with bar and restaurant, and plenty of outdoor seating. The changing rooms are beautifully laid out and tastefully decorated giving a fine sense of contentment when getting ready for your round. With plenty of parking and brand-new buggies, the whole venue and course is an effortless exercise in sport and social fun. For a little bit of practice before the main event, the venue also features a fantastic, all weather, floodlit, heated 24- bay driving range – open from early to late, 7 days a week. The Playgolf Colchester venue is well organised for group golf, so Societies and visiting groups are welcome both during the week and at the weekend, with a range of reasonably priced packages that start from just £28 per person. Golf Days encompass excellent golf and fantastic dining options in The Clubhouse bar and restaurant which is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
