Ingrebourne Links Golf & Country Club (The Mini Links)

Ingrebourne Links Golf & Country Club (The Mini Links) is a 9-hole par-3 course in Rainham, England, designed by PGA Master Professional Alan Walker in the true links tradition. Opened in September 2012, it features rolling hills, pot bunkers, heather, gorse, and small USPGA-spec greens comparable to the famous "postage stamp" 8th hole at Royal Troon. Head Greenkeeper Geoff Smithdale, who has worked on courses across Europe including Woburn GC, maintains the course year-round. Full irrigation and excellent drainage keep conditions consistently good in all seasons, while the layout offers views over the Essex countryside and the City of London. The course suits a wide range of golfers — from beginners and families to low handicappers looking to sharpen their short game. It is an effective place to work on approach shots, short irons, pitching, chipping, bunker play, and putting.
