The greens are all built to USGA specifications – constructed with a sophisticated network of drainage pipes covered by two grades of gravel drainage blanket, an intermediate coarse sand layer and a mechanically blended homogeneous root zone of fine sand and subsoil.
Owing to the construction of our greens they remain playable and surprisingly dry throughout the year. We never have to use temporary greens.
The finer grass species suited to quick, smooth greens thrive on our root zone mix.
The course at Weald Park was constructed in 1992/3 having been designed by the renowned course architect Reg Plumbridge. Set in 200 acres of tranquil Essex countryside, the course measures 6386 yards with a par of 71 and presents a unique challenge for golfers of all handicap ranges.
Unlike many courses in the county, one of the best features is that every hole is completely different. This is made possible by the naturally undulating and wooded land the course was designed on. Very little in the way of landscaping was needed to produce the layout.
Water hazards come into play on no fewer than eleven holes and the large fairway and greenside bunkers compliment the picturesque surroundings perfectly.
