This is a premium inland Links course, near Rainham off the M25/A12. I am told this course is playable all year round due to its sub-soil structure, and is host to 3 PGA tournaments in 2024; the first is in May 2024 so I am advised that the course will be primed early April in readiness for this competition.
Proposed meeting consists of:
i. Bacon Roll and Coffee on arrival
ii. 9 hole fun comp eg Waltz
iii. 1 course Lunch (Ham, Egg and Chips)
iv. 18 hole Stableford singles
v. 2 course Dinner (menu will be distributed nearer time to get consensus on 1 option for Main and Dessert).

This is a parkland course just off the A12 near Stock. OSGC has not been back here for some years but I played in the Summer and found it to have matured quite nicely. A lot of the bunkers were being repaired but I am told these should be mostly/all fixed by next summer. Has the longest Par 5 in Essex I believe at some 646yds off the black tees but a more modest 566yds off the yellow – we’ll be playing this as the NP in 3.

This is a coastal course that has a great mix of both Links and Parkland holes. A favourite course of mine as interesting, challenging and great fun to play. A bit off the usual M25/A12 track but worth making the effort to visit.

This is a Parkland course, where our own Phil Burrows will be Vice Captain in 2024. I must thank Phil for all his help in securing this deal (we have a Friday but at Thursday pricing). We are in Hertfordshire I think, just off the M25. The OSGC has been here at least once before but some years ago. Phil advises that the date we have is just before the Club Championship so the course should be in its best condition for us - no excuses...!
