Chelmsford Golf Club is one of the oldest traditional, private members’ clubs in the county having celebrated our Club centenary in 1993.
From modest beginnings, this gem of a parkland course is now recognised as one of the best in the County of Essex. There is always a warm welcome to visitors, Golf Societies and Corporate Days who are guaranteed a memorable day both on the course and in our well-appointed clubhouse.
If you are looking to join a club as a member, there are few better choices. There is a good balance between competitive golf in the form of Club competitions and matches against other clubs and social golf with frequent roll-ups and swindles. We also offer Starter and Trial Memberships for those looking to try the game and do all we can to support and encourage juniors.
Our team of PGA professionals provide expert golf tuition for every level from beginners to advanced players and offer all the latest equipment from their well-stocked shop at very competitive prices.
Chelmsford Golf Club is easy to get to by road and rail and offers a wonderful course and fantastic customer service with a friendly atmosphere. So why not pay us a visit and see for yourself?

7history
Chelmsford Golf Club is one of the oldest traditional, private members’ clubs in the county
and celebrated its centenary in 1993.
The first nine-hole course on Galleywood Common used the existing Horse and Groom public house as a clubhouse. The present course was formed on parcels of land acquired over the years but started in 1910 on land originally leased from Sir David Gooch. When the move took place
a new clubhouse was constructed on the present site at a cost of £400. This building has been enlarged and modified (and modernised) to form the present changing rooms, dining facilities and administrative offices.
Two of the game’s leading course designers had a hand in the make-up of the course you play today. James Braid drew up the original 18-hole layout having visited the Widford site in 1910, just months after winning his fifth Open title. The current
look of our modern Championship course owes much to the later work of Harry Colt.Following numerous changes the current course layout was formed in 1936 following the sale of land to the county council for the building of St. John’s Hospital and the concurrent acquisition of Thrift Wood.
Chelmsford is very proud of its history: members still play for longstanding Club trophies some of which are more than 100 years old.

Our Harry Colt-inspired course is regarded as one of the finest in the county and a pleasure
to play thanks to the efforts of our dedicated greenkeeping staff.
The well-designed layout may only measure 5,996 yards from the medal tees but provides a good test of golf for players of all abilities, as the Standard Scratch Score of 69 against the par of 68 proves.
The course is in excellent condition throughout the year with its majestic pines and oaks, but these are the same trees that will punish the wayward drive. Straightness off the tee is vital to posting a good score, as is good course management.
Accurate approach shots are also important in order to leave the ball on the correct side of the hole. Chelmsford’s ultimate protection is the fast and sloping greens.
The greens can run above 10 on the Stimpmeter even in spring if the weather has been good and on the 1st hole if you spin your wedge shot too much the ball can come back some 40 yards. Members obviously learn to cope with this and place their shots accordingly, but it is

likely to catch out unwary visitors.
The course has many special holes, and it is difficult to pick out only a select few that would be considered particular highlights.
The par-3 4th is regarded as the signature hole by members. It is set in what was Thrift Wood and the colours, particularly in springtime, make it a truly spectacular setting for a golf hole. It is easy to forget about the job at hand but be careful, because the green slopes severely and you
can easily putt off the green if you get on the wrong side of the hole.
The 7th, a par-4 playing 429 yards off the medal tees, is an outstanding golf hole. When you stand on the tee, looking over the fairway that rolls from right to left, it is reminiscent of Woburn with the fir trees in the distance.
The 15th is another par 3 that should be appreciated for its beauty but treated with caution by any golfer looking to protect his or her score near the end of the round. Set in a valley, it is a delightfully picturesque hole but one where you are glad to take a par, savour the view and move on.

Chelmsford is renowned as a friendly Club with a wide and varied membership. There are
many established groups ready to welcome you who play on a regular basis throughout the week and at weekends so you will never be short of having someone to play with.
We pride ourselves on having an active membership with a full schedule of competitions for men, ladies and juniors aimed at players of all standards. There
is also a busy and varied social calendar with events for all of the family.
Membership is open to all upon application – you do not need to know anyone already at the Club. We make a point of ensuring new members are made to feel a part of the Club from the day they join. Immediately they feel comfortable and quickly find themselves part of a regular group of friends. With groups playing on a casual basis every day, finding playing partners is never a problem.
Competitive golfers can achieve an official CONGU handicap recognised worldwide, and play in regular competitions both with their fellow members and against other clubs.
Chelmsford is a traditional members’ Club run for the benefit of the members, with the members playing a key role in the future direction of the Club. A not-for-profit organisation, any surplus income is invested in ensuring that the Club, the course and our facilities continue to
beCominG a member
11
remain among the best that Essex has to offer.
We welcome applications for membership from existing golfers new to the area, golfers from other local clubs, and keen beginners - men, women and children from five years old upwards.
Our aim is to provide excellent golfing facilities and to encourage youngsters from the local community to enjoy the game of golf. Whatever your background there is a
membership category suited to you.
Full Adult MembershipBy far the most popular membership at Chelmsford, allowing unlimited play seven days a week, the chance to play in all Club competitions and maintain a handicap and to use of all Club facilities and attend all functions.
Under-30s Full MembershipThe Club seeks to retain a broad section of golfers and offers a discounted
membership for Under 30s. Membership is available at 50 per cent of the annual joining fee and annual subscription fees.
Associate MembershipLocal residents may apply to become (non-golfing) Social Members. This entitles them to use the clubhouse, including bar and catering facilities, and to bring guests. A special green fee package can be attached to this membership type. Subject to availability.
12
Trial MembershipA ‘taster’ membership to experience what the Club has to offer. A one-year or three-month trial membership allows use of the course and clubhouse facilities, with the opportunity to join the Club either during at or at the end of the trial. Further details can be found later in this brochure.
Student MembershipA student membership is available with subscription fees based on whether the member came through our Cadets scheme.
Cadet MembershipChelmsford has a thriving group of young golfers and offers great rates to juniors wishing to become part of our Club. Again, further details can be found later in this brochure.
Still wavering over whether to take the plunge? We would be delighted to give you a tour of the Club and its facilities under no obligation. Or pop up for a drink in the clubhouse and ask our members why they think Chelmsford Golf Club is so special. Rarely will you hear people speak so passionately about the club to which they belong.

Golf can be such a rewarding game on so many levels. It can develop into a sporting passion
that can last a lifetime, delight at times and infuriate at others and can lead to the forging of lasting friendships both on and off the course.
Set foot inside our Club and the one thing that will strike you above all else is the rapport between fellow members and between members and staff. There is a warmth you will find here that we feel you will experience at few clubs.
Golf clubs have a reputation – justified on occasion, unfortunately – for being stuffy unwelcoming places stuck in the past. Not Chelmsford. Yes, tradition is a big part of our historic Club, but we move with the times and nothing would give us greater pleasure than introducing new people to our Club and to the game of golf.
Two schemes have been introduced in recent years aimed at those who might be considering joining us here at one of Essex’s premier clubs. There is a Starter scheme for those new to the game and a Trial Membership scheme for those who have played before but never as a member at Chelmsford.
Starter Scheme
The aim of the Starter scheme is to introduce new men and ladies to golf, help them develop the necessary skills to play the course while also having a good understanding of the laws of the game and etiquette. Having reached the necessary levels of aptitude we hope they will then become full members.
Support is key in this process: support from fellow members, with a dedicated mentor and support from our professional team and staff. Unlike at other establishments beginners are not left to their own devices but made to feel they are part of the Club.
starter and trial memberships
15
Key features of the membership include.
• Starters must be accompanied by a playing member of the Club while using the course prior to obtaining a CONGU handicap.
• Having obtained a handicap they may then play the course unsupervised.
• At any time during the starter scheme, candidates may apply for Full playing membership of the Club, subject to having attained a handicap and with the approval of the professionals.
• Starters may use the course after 12pm
on weekdays and Sundays and after 4pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
• A Starter will not be able to enter any Club competitions until attaining Full status.
• At the end of the first year if you wish to apply for full membership and are successful a 30 per cent reduction will be made against the current joining fee and 15 per cent at the end of the second year.
Trial Membership
For those who have perhaps belonged to a golf club before, but not played for a while
because of other commitments or who are new to the area, we have a special Trial Membership.
This enables the prospective member to get a feel for what Chelmsford is about and whether it is the Club for them, without having to pay the joining fee. If you don’t like what you see, simply walk away with our best wishes. But with a beautiful course, friendly membership and outstanding facilities prepare to be hooked, like so many others before you!

We regard golf societies as something of a speciality of ours here at Chelmsford and
can guarantee a good time for visiting groups both out on the course and in the clubhouse.
If great golf, good food and accommodating hosts are your ingredients for a successful golf day, then you have come to the right place.
Flexibility is the key to the success of our society days at Chelmsford and the reason why many groups come back year after year.
Yes we can offer set packages if it makes life easier for society organisers, but our view is that it is your golf day, not ours. So come to us with a wishlist for your perfect day and we will do everything we can to tick all the boxes.
Your day will be tailored just for you and can comprise 18, 27 or 36 holes with reserved tee-times for parties of 12 or more to suit your travel requirements.
The course is a true test, but unlike some of the modern layouts, not so long that if favours only the big hitters. All areas of your golf game are examined in equal measure and we have some lovely par threes – including the last – for nearest the pin competitions.

However the round pans out and whether you are amongst the prizes or not, a warm welcome awaits in the clubhouse.
Relax and unwind and relive your day with a drink in the lounge bar before adjourning to the private dining room where the banter can begin in earnest.
The catering is held in high regard by our members and we can keep you fed and watered throughout the day, whether you want a bacon roll or full English breakfast to get you on your way, a light lunch or a three-course sit-down meal.
A society pack is available to download from our website, complete with sample menus, but this should only be seen as a guide and a starting point. We will look to work within your budget, fulfil your requirements and deliver a golf day that meets or hopefully exceeds your expectations.
Buggies (please pre-book to avoid disappointment) and trolleys are available for hire from the Pro Shop, which stocks a comprehensive range of equipment as well as being able to arrange golf lessons and prizes.
If you are looking for something to make that day even more memorable, why not consider booking a group golfing clinic before your round or ask our PGA-qualified professionals about video analysis.
There are only a limited number of society opportunities, so book early to avoid disappointment. For more details, call the Front of House Manager on 01245 254905 or e-mail [email protected]

If you have a Corporate Golf Day in mind, we have a gem of a course with challenges for all levels of
golfer. The greens are undulating and well protected by bunkers and keeping the ball in the fairway is a must. For the higher handicap player, the length of the course is not intimidating which allows all golfers to have a chance of winning.
The clubhouse has a balcony which overlooks the 18th green, a favourite for a nearest the pin challenge. Here players gather for some banter waiting for the last groups to come in.
The team at Chelmsford Golf Club look forward to organising your day from start to finish with bespoke packages available to make your day a success. Here is just one example of how your day might run:
• 8.00am onwards – Arrive for coffee and breakfast and register in the clubhouse.
• You will be met by a member of the Professional staff and a representative of our Front of House team who will be your main contacts for the day.
• Giveaways with your logo can be organised and given out to each player or you, of course, can bring your own.
• 9.00am onwards – Tee Off on the first hole for a team game of 9 holes with a
Corporate Golf
Really pleased that I have joined, one of the best aspects is how friendly the club is and the ability to join in with the swindles.

starter making sure all groups are on time. Banners with your logo can be placed strategically around the golf course.
• 11.00am onwards – Players will arrive back in the clubhouse for a lunch of perhaps soup and sandwiches or ham, egg and thick-cut chips.
• 12.30pm onwards – Back to the golf course for 18 holes and a Betterball Stableford with prizes from the shop for winning groups, along with longest drive and nearest the pin challenges. A Pro
challenge on the 15th hole par 3 into the valley is popular and is a great talking point after play.
• 6.00pm onwards – Players arrive back in the clubhouse for dinner and a prize-giving in the restaurant area of the clubhouse which one of the Professionals will be on hand to assist.
• All of the players’ cards can be printed out for you and the computer system we have will record all of the scores and calculate the winners of the day. This
will leave you time to socialise with your guests and enjoy your day. We can also make the results available for viewing on the big screen television in the dining room.
• If you have some guests with you that are non-golfers, we can organise tuition for them covering short game and some fun competitions and timing the lessons so they join everyone for the meals throughout the day. There will also be prizes for the winning players.

Watch all the major sporting events on our huge widescreen television (we have Sky Sports) or make use of the Wi-Fi available in the clubhouse to catch up on those important e-mails.
When the weather is warm a favoured spot is sitting out on the balcony watching the players as they look to close out their round with a birdie on the last.
There is also a dedicated dining room area that can be partitioned off from the bars forfunctions and special occasions.
I think that with the view and effort of both the management and greenkeeper, being a member of CGC at the moment and for the next five years will be fantastic, both on and off the course!”

The Head Professional at Chelmsford Golf Club is Mark Welch, who has been with us
since 1998. Mark took over from Dennis Bailey, who himself was the professional here for 39 years, meaning Chelmsford has had only two Club professionals in a period spanning more than the past half a century. The bond between the professional and the Club has always been a strong one, and Mark has become extremely popular with the members.
Mark specialises in custom-fitting golf equipment, retailing and coaching golfers at all levels and ages. He plays occasionally in regional tournaments but spends more time playing golf with members. He trained at the Open venue Princes Golf Club on the Kent coast but originates from Chester in the North West of England.
The assistant professionals at Chelmsford are Lucy Clarke and Stephen Townsend. Lucy has built an excellent reputation with her teaching skills, especially with the Junior section where she has established a youth academy and from this, a shortened
version of the golf course has been set up, where the younger players can learn the game. Stephen has gained expertise in the fitting of golf equipment and uses technology such as the ipad to analyse golf swings and short game techniques to help golfers improve their game.
Our golf team have the enviable reputation of being one of the best in the area and their well-stocked shop provides members and visitors with a wide choice of leading brands of equipment, clothing and accessories. The shop also has a dedicated website which is www.customfitgolfshop.co.uk.

Mark is a firm believer in the benefits of a golfer having a set of clubs that matches their physical make-up and swing characteristics and is able to offer custom-fitting for Titleist and Snake Eyes.
Having purpose-built equipment improves ball-striking and accuracy and result in what all golfers crave – more consistency. Better play in turn breeds more confidence and from there anything is possible.
The Professional Shop stocks Odyssey and Scotty Cameron putters and Titleist’s popular range of Vokey wedges, together with a vast range of Footjoy shoes, Footjoy
waterproofs, Bushnell lasers, SkyCaddie GPS systems and Masters accessories.
Look the part on the course with stylish garments from AHEAD and Glenmuir bearing the Chelmsford Golf Club logo. Along with the logo clothing, the Dwyers & Co technical trousers are perfect for golf and are stocked in three different colours.
Comfort is always important out on the course and the Pro Shop stocks the popular Under Armour golfing base layers, together with MotoCaddy trolleys to take the strain out of carrying a bag around the course.
Golf balls, as is the case with all the other stock, are competitively priced and the popular makes from Titleist and Srixon are all available.
The top priority is always customer satisfaction, so if you are seeking a particularly club or piece of equipment that is not in stock, speak to Mark who will do his best to source it for you.

If you are struggling with your golf game or feel you are not improving at the rate you had been hoping,
then a series of lessons can often be the solution.
Chelmsford is blessed with gifted instructors, whose instruction is highly sought-after and who are able to make use of the latest technology if appropriate. Nothing is left to chance, with the GASP system of golf swing analysis software
available, together with the popular Explanar, a piece of equipment that can be used to help ingrain the correct movements to achieve a correct and repeatable golf swing.
It is not compulsory to use either system and advice will be given for the suitability of each with your swing. Lessons are available seven days a week and are available on some evenings in the summer. The first step is to have a 9-hole assessment with one of the instructors who
will establish the correct path for you to take with lessons and from this you will see yourself improving and enjoying your game more and more.
There are several options for lessons and we can help you make the correct decision to move your game forwards. Contact the team on [email protected] or call the shop on 01245 257079 to speak to Mark, Lucy or Stephen.

Members at Chelmsford enjoy a varied and extensive golfing calendar throughout the
year. There are numerous trophies and honours board competitions within the Club as well as matches, both home and away, against other clubs. Singles or pairs, medal play or matchplay, Stableford or some other fun form of competition, there should be something to appeal to everyone.
Men’s SectionCompetitions for trophies and cups generally take place on Saturdays and
Sundays. Swindle groups meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, generally teeing off at 11am, while the Tuesday Boys is another informal gathering or swindle. There is also a lunchtime swindle on a Thursday and other non-competitive play on Saturdays.
The Men compete in three prestigious Essex Golf Union competitions, the Thornton Challenge Cup, the Leslie F Wood Championship and the Senior Team Championship.
Ladies SectionCompetition day for medals and trophies is generally Tuesday, though these do
occasionally take place on Saturdays. The Ladies are strong supporters of county competitions and have an impressive record in recent years.
They enter the Silver Shield (scratch handicap), Bronze Shield (19+ handicap), the Silver Trophy (10+ handicap) and the Harris Bowl (no handicap limit). All four of these are team events, allowing players of all abilities to represent the Club in a competitive environment.

Chelmsford Golf Club has created a great environment where junior golfers can thrive
by providing them opportunities regardless of any age, gender or background and allowing them to participate and develop their talent to whatever level they aspire to.
To be a Junior Member, you must be under the age of 18 years at the start of the Club year. We have four levels of cadets with a development programme to assist juniors in progressing to senior level, and a dedicated Junior Organiser to look after their well-being and represent their interests on the Club’s committee. The Club is proud of its record of developing its younger players and over the years we have seen many juniors leave this Club and go on to becoming seasoned professionals.
A number of competitions are run throughout the year and Chelmsford fields
a team in the Essex Youth Shield, giving our younger golfers valuable competitive experience against their peers at an early age.
Junior improvement programmes can be created to suit the needs and aspirations of each individual and there are also beginner classes aimed at teaching children the basics of the swing and etiquette to enable them to get out and enjoy the game as quickly as possible. Learning sound fundamentals at an early age means many years of frustration on the course later in life can be avoided!

We make the most of our excellent caterers at the Club and there are Sunday lunches most weeks of the year, which feature a carvery or a fish or vegetarian alternative.
Fun formats of golf are arranged, especially in the summer, which are followed by
a get-together in the clubhouse. Then there are the more formal dinners to mark such special occasions as the end of the Captain’s year in office and to celebrate the year’s outstanding golfers.
Burn’s Night is celebrated in January, while December is always an eagerly-anticipated
month, as the party season gets into full swing. There is a children’s party early in the month, followed by a Club Christmas party and another get-together on the final day of the month to welcome in the New Year.
