Five Lakes Golf Club
Five Lakes Golf Club, located near Maldon in Essex, comprises of two contrasting and mature 18 hole parkland courses in the shadow of the magnificent Crowne Plaza Resort Colchester. The tees and greens on 'The Lakes Course' are built to USGA green specification and vary in design, height and undulation. Water is the predominant feature of this course, coming into play on nine of the 18 holes, with the fairways benefiting from an irrigation system. The generous fairways, large greens and water hazards provide a great test for golfers and ensure every club in the bag is used. Completed in 1975, 'The Links Course' has matured over the years, creating its’ own challenges with plush greens that bring the importance of the short game into play. The Links Course presents a very different challenge to the Lakes, testing precision to the limit with narrow fairways and strategically placed water hazards, sand bunkers and well-guarded greens. Accuracy is the key to success on this course.
