Welcome to the Canons Brook Golf club, a championship length course designed by the famous Henry Cotton, situated on the outskirts of Harlow. Reputedly said to be one of the finest golf courses in Essex. Situated in 112 acres of mature rolling countryside the 18 hole, 6769 yard, par 73 championship length course makes excellent use of the landscape and its numerous natural and man-made hazards. The Canons Brook, from which the club takes it's name, meanders through various parts of the course. The Brook, as it is known, catches many a golf ball for those that fail to treat it with respect. The clubhouse, which retains the style of existing barn style buildings adjacent to the course, provides a relaxing and friendly atmosphere in which to enjoy a post-match drink, or a meal in the excellent restaurant, that will help to complete a great day of golf. The course was designed by Sir Henry Cotton, whose philosophy was to create a championship length course with very little rough, but incorporating many bunkers and large undulating greens, a task he accomplished in style. The course was opened in 1966.
