North Weald Par 3 Golf Course is a nine-hole, par-27 pay-and-play course on Epping Road in North Weald, Essex. The family-run facility describes itself as the first golf course established in North Weald and says it has served the area for more than 30 years. All nine holes are par threes, generally averaging about 100 to 120 yards, while the 5th extends to 225 yards and is the longest hole specifically identified by the course.
There is no advance tee-time system: golfers turn up and play, with no dress code and equipment available for hire. A nine-hole round normally takes around an hour. The same course is also used for footgolf.
The course is a 9-hole golf course. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Coffee Shop, Golf Lessons, Golf Club Hire, Trolley Hire, Club Repair, FootGolf, Parking.
North Weald Par 3 Golf Course identifies itself as the first golf course to have been established in North Weald. The business states that it has served golfers for more than 30 years, placing its origins no later than the mid-1990s, but an exact opening year is not published and should not be inferred from that statement. The course developed as a compact nine-hole facility rather than as part of the separate full-length North Weald Golf Club formerly located on Rayley Lane.
No reliable source reviewed identifies the founder or architect responsible for laying out the nine holes.
The course is built specifically around short-game golf. All nine holes are par threes, with the official course description saying that most average approximately 100 to 120 yards. The principal exception highlighted by the operator is the 225-yard 5th, which provides a substantially longer test than the other holes.
The compact routing is intended to allow a nine-hole round to be completed in about an hour and is used both by beginners learning the game and established golfers practising approach play. No published architectural commentary or named designer was found.
The facility has developed beyond the nine golf holes to include PGA instruction, equipment hire, club repairs and footgolf using the course. A small coffee shop provides hot and cold drinks and snacks. The operator describes North Weald Par 3 as a small family business and continues to use a turn-up-and-play model rather than introducing advance tee-time reservations.
The Epping Forest district's official tourism service identifies North Weald Par 3 as the first golf course established in North Weald and separately lists it among the district's golf facilities. No national rankings, architectural awards or significant hosted championships were found.
North Weald Par 3 remains a public, pay-and-play nine-hole course on Epping Road. There is no dress code and no tee-time booking requirement. Clubs and trolleys can be hired on site, and PGA professional instruction and club-repair services are available.
The course operates throughout the year, with the final round and closing time varying according to season.
