Bored In Essex? Golf Club Membership Could Be The Answer!

Essex has many reputations, from being home to shopping crazed footballers wives to harbouring notorious gangster types and on again for having some of the best places to relax after a hard week at work. Visitor attractions such as Flatford Mill and Colchester Castle attract many residents and visitors all year round, but for something that pleases all the family, entertainment needs to be more diverse. A new type of country club has appeared on the horizon, and we're pretty sure that if you are bored in Essex, this could be the answer.

Although cultural attractions are a great way to get all the family together, for people that live in Essex, there is a finite number of times it is possible to visit Colchester Zoo, Dedham Vale and the like and keep the whole family entertained. Other options for making the most of a family weekend together often cater for one persons taste and not another's. It seems that a choice has to be made between bowling, or cinema, or swimming, or shopping.

New country clubs however have decided that they can cater for the needs of a family that have many different interests, and they are capturing the attention of residents all over Essex. Golf clubs have traditionally catered for males who want to play golf and then share a few drinks in the club house after, then, a few years ago, ladies were allowed to become members, and also join the men in the club house. Nowadays though, the rules have really relaxed and golf clubs in Essex have become a place where the whole family can spend the day, and it is not tailored to golf enthusiasts only.

By incorporating spa areas, gymnasium, beauty therapy and acres of luscious woodlands, a family can enjoy a day together in one place, even if they are doing different things. Even if one person is swimming, another practicing putting skills and someone else pumping some iron, the whole family can regroup at the family restaurant or tea room and be together.

In an age where many families are spending more time plugged into an x box, country clubs are offering activity and excitement that is guaranteed to bust the boredom blues. With any luck, the growing popularity of golf clubs with leisure facilities will give Essex the reputation as being a place for the whole family to have fun.
