In the Golf Club Atlas, Eric Richardson says the following of the Essex County Club:


It’s no secret why Essex County turned out so well – Donald Ross lived on the course from 1909 through 1913 and worked on it constantly. As a result, the course at Manchester-by-the-Sea features many of Ross’s design traits that are now recognized as distinguishing his finest work.


An aerial view shows that Ross had space considerations but he was quite clever in how he used such limitations to the betterment of the course… Essex County is another instance where he lived up to his own design standard, which he wrote in 1914 was to ‘build each hole in such a manner that it wastes none of the ground at my disposal, and takes advantage of every possibility I can see.’


 


Located in Manchester-by-the-Sea, the Essex Country Club is quintessential North Shore. You and three friends will enjoy a round of golf, hosted by a member of the Club on a mutually agreed upon date. A spectacular setting with a challenging course that optimizes all of its natural features, golf at the Essex is not for the faint of heart!
