Chelmsford Golf Club

Location and setting
The Thorndon Park Golf Club course is located in the county of Essex, Great Britain; While Essex doesn't have many courses that feature in the Top 100 ranking lists, Thorndon is an exception. Golfers of all levels enjoy it and return regularly to be challenged by the difficult holes and well-kept greens of this course.
Career
The 18-hole course at Le Thorndon has challenging but fair greens, and the bunkers provide a decent challenge for experienced players. The fairways feel spacious enough for even the longest hitters to open their shoulders. The signature hole of the course is surely the 3rd, with its drive above the lake.
History
The course at Thorndon Park Golf Club was established in 1920 on a deer park dating back to the 1580s. The park, already rich in ancient oak trees, was further planted in the early 18th century. Ravaged by fire in 1878, Thorndon Hall was given new life in 1919 when a group of businessmen saw the land as the perfect place to lay out a golf course and develop a similar residential estate to that planned for St George's Hill in Weybridge. St George's Hill chose Harry Colt as the architect for the Thorndon Park golf course. The course was opened on July 1, 1920 and has never stopped thriving ever since.
