Having celebrated its silver anniversary recently, the nine-hole course at Braxted Park can be played also as an eighteen hole, and it is a marvellous challenge irrespective of ability. Whether you are a high or low handicapper, it is a tremendous place to sharpen your skills and improve upon the weaker points in your game.

Amassing the relatively short distance, at least by modern standards, of 5704 yards played as eighteen holes, there are plenty of tricky and strategically placed hazards on this course to keep you alert. The water features, in particular, require good-thinking, educated club-choice, accurate shooting and unbroken concentration in order to negotiate them successfully, otherwise a good scoring round can be seriously damaged.
