About this course

Ingrebourne Links Golf & Country Club occupies a reclaimed industrial site in Rainham, Essex, where designer Alan Walker created two eighteen-hole courses from former marshland and gravel workings. The North and East courses share the same landscape but offer distinct routing and strategic demands. The setting is characteristically flat Essex terrain, with water features—including the Ingrebourne River and a network of lakes—woven throughout both layouts to define fairways and create hazards typical of links-style design adapted to inland conditions. The North Course presents a traditional links character with generous fairways and strategic bunkering that rewards accuracy over length. The East Course, similarly routed across the same acreage, provides an alternative test with its own sequence of water carries and positioning challenges. Both layouts make full use of the site's topography and water systems, creating the illusion of links golf despite the inland Essex location. The courses are popular for club membership and society play, drawing golfers seeking a links experience without travel to the coast. The club operates as a private members' facility with a country club atmosphere, offering dining and practice facilities alongside the two courses. The dual-course setup allows for flexible membership options and tournament scheduling. Ingrebourne Links has established itself as a notable inland links venue in the southeast, appealing to players who value the strategic, wind-exposed character of links golf in an accessible location near London.
