Upon Arrival
- Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club
- On arrival at the resort you need to make your way to the marquee
- The marquee is situated to the far left corner of the resort, on arrival after you’ve parked your car, follow the road/path that runs to the left of the main building, 150 yards past the pro shop on the right you will see the marquee. There will be directional signage to help you.
- Golf Club Bag Drop and Parking
- Parking is free and plentiful and you can’t miss it on arrival. There are a handful of electric charge points located towards the front and centre.
- Feel free to bring your clubs and kit to the marquee and deposit outside (if the weather remains dry) if you plan to stay in that area until we start or will be arriving close to tee off time. Changing rooms are located nearby the marquee.
- If you plan to visit the driving range once you’ve registered you might want to leave your clubs in your vehicle. The car park is much closer to the driving range than the marquee.
- ESSA registration, breakfast and live electronic scoring (0900 - 1030)
- Please ensure that you come and register at the ESSA Desk in the marquee and say hello so that we know you are here! We’ll be using the courses mobile scoring system this year, so you’ll be able to view live leader-boards on your device anywhere on the course and see who’s winning up until the last 3 holes when we take down the system so not to spoil the evening surprise.
- The scoring system will be run via your own mobile device so at least one of your team will need to download the course scoring app on arrival. This will all be explained on the day. Your names, teams and handicaps will have all been pre-loaded, hence the need to have the correct details of each golfer in advance.
- Handicaps can be adjusted on the day prior to starting. If you see something wrong with yours or any teams members handicaps please speak to a member of the team before you start.
- Driving Range (until 10.15 am)
- For the early birds and those who wish to go over to the driving range to get in some early morning practice. We would ask you return to the marquee for 10.15 am ready for the Golfer's Briefing.
- Hotel Check In
- If you’re playing and are staying at the main resort you will need to check in between finishing your round and the evening awards.
Charity Partners
This year’s Golf Day will proudly support the Ride to Live Challenge, being undertaken by ESSA Chair Rob Brackstone in August 2025. All funds raised will be donated to the British Heart Foundation.
Rob is taking on this challenge in memory of Paul Eames—a close friend, business partner, and long-time supporter of ESSA. We are honoured to contribute to this cause in his name.
