Easy Golf Break in the Essex Countryside

Key Information
Straightforward Golf and On Site Comfort
Five Lakes Resort sits in the Essex countryside near Colchester, about 90 minutes from central London, and is built around two on-site courses and a large, modern hotel. The setting is open and gently rolling rather than dramatic, but the layout makes good use of water, with lakes and ditches coming into play on a number of holes.
The Lakes Course is the main test, longer and more demanding, with well-placed hazards that make you think about position off the tee. The Links Course is shorter and more forgiving, which works well for mixed-ability groups or a second round without feeling worn out. Conditioning is usually solid, and the courses are walkable.
The hotel is spacious and geared towards golf groups, with comfortable rooms, a busy bar area, restaurant, and a large spa and leisure club with pool, sauna and gym. It’s not boutique or luxury-led, but it’s practical, social, and set up well for golf-focused stays where everything is in one place.

Key Information
Expect a relaxed, sociable golf stay where everything is centred around easy play and good company. Both courses are usually kept in solid condition, with generous fairways balanced by water hazards that keep you thinking. The Lakes Course provides the sterner test, while the Links Course offers a more forgiving change of pace, which works well across a couple of days.
The atmosphere around the resort is informal and busy in a good way, especially with golf groups. Rooms are comfortable and practical, and moving between golf, bar, restaurant, and spa is simple. Being set in the countryside near Colchester keeps the setting calm without feeling remote.
