Crowlands Heath Golf Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crowlands Heath Golf Club is a golf course located in Chadwell Heath in London, United Kingdom.
[edit] The course
Crowlands' golf course is a 9-hole links style course. Because it is not a full 18-hole golf course, players have the option to play a 9-hole round, or play the course twice to complete 18 holes. The course was designed by former Jack Nicklaus designer Mike Pinner, and has been built to Championship USGA Specification. Although the land is of private ownership, members of the public can play on the golf course as if it were public land.
The par of the course is 33 for 9-holes, and therefore 66 for 18-holes.
[edit] Driving range
The 30 bay driving range is undercover and floodlit. It is unique in that golfers hit balls into a large lake, with a carry of 175 yards to the land on the other side. There is then a small stretch of land approximately 75 yards long, making the driving range up to 250 yards long.
