A little about us…
Nazeing Golf Club is an attractive parkland course at 6,617 yards long with an SSS of 72. The course has been constructed to the highest USPGA specifications.
Water hazards feature on many of the holes, especially the long par 3, 13th hole, that reminds visitors of the famous hole at Pennina. Despite the numerous hazards, well struck shots are always rewarded by the receptive nature of the slick undulating greens.
