Membership Facilities

Members have access to both of the Hainault Golf Courses. With over fifty annual competitions open to all members, you will experience and enjoy both the social and competitive aspects of golf. 

The two 18-hole courses are both spectacular and offer different challenges. The courses known as the Upper and Lower Courses date back to 1908 and 1923 with par values of 70 and 72 respectively, and both courses were designed by five-times open champion J.H. Taylor, featuring a wide range of hazards which will always add interest during your round.

The Upper Course hugs the hillside closest to the country park with tighter fairways and is hillier than the lower course. Although it is shorter and has a par 70, the upper course is still a very good test and will punish the wayward shot.

The Lower Course hosted the 2003 Essex Amateur Championships final and was the first pay and play golf course to be awarded such a prestigious accolade. This course is a par 72 and is a very good test of the long hitter, rewarding accurate long tee shots, but punishing poor course management. Both courses are playable all year round.

Bar/Lounge – The clubhouse provides lounge, bar, and restaurant facilities. There is always a friendly and lively atmosphere in our fully licensed bar, and it provides the perfect setting for relaxing with friends. 

Snooker and TV – There is a full-sized snooker table for your entertainment in the members bar as well as a large TV screen to watch all your favourite channels.
