Nazeing Golf Club

Nazeing Golf Club runs an attractive parkland course of 6,521 yards, built to USPGA specification standards for its construction and drainage. Water comes into play across several holes, most notably at the long par-three 13th, where a pond guards the green and demands full commitment with a long iron or hybrid to carry it. Buggies are permitted on the course, and the club maintains a regular pro shop line for up-to-date course status, useful given how water-based hazards can affect playability after heavy rain. Nazeing itself sits in the Lee Valley on the Essex side of the Essex-Hertfordshire border, an area of river meadows, reservoirs and reclaimed land that has supported several golf courses built to modern specifications rather than laid out on older estate ground. The USPGA-standard construction suggests attention to drainage and playing surfaces beyond what many older British parkland courses were originally built to, which should help the course stay playable through wetter periods. For golfers in the Lee Valley area, Nazeing offers a parkland round of reasonable length, with water hazards, particularly around the 13th, forming the course's defining defensive feature.
