It measures over 7,000 yards from the tiger tees and has an abundance of water hazards. There are replicas of several famous holes from around the world. We have a 100% water carry par three, and our golf course also boasts the longest closing golf hole in the world. It measures 860 yards from the back sticks and considered unofficially a par six. Known as the ‘Crondon Crunch’, it finishes outside the clubhouse. To make it even more interesting, the approach shot is over a lake to a green located next to water. Don’t forget to bring plenty of spare golf balls, as you may need them!

21,000 trees were planted over twenty years ago, which means you cannot see any other fairway from the hole you are playing. It gives Crondon the feel of a real tree-lined parkland.

The greens are USPGA constructed, so they are very receptive to the ball. There are very few flat areas, mostly undulating and the surfaces improve year on year. For a golf course that has only been open for twenty five years, our greens have great maturity and challenge.
