Sports and Activities

The Brentwood Centre, Doddinghurst Road, offers most indoor sports, including the 12-badminton court International Hall, aerobics, football, table tennis, yoga and many other activities, and a licensed bar.

Other facilities at the Centre include a hi-tech fitness training centre, health suite, beauty clinic and squash courts, in addition to two swimming pools. Both pools offer a comprehensive programme ranging through pre-school lessons to life-saving classes and kids’ splash-time.

Outdoor facilities include the Brentwood Arena, which accommodates senior football, special events and exhibitions, regular sports courses and community groups. The Brentwood Centre also has floodlit tennis/netball courts and playing fields for football, rounders, model aircraft flying, shows and fireworks etc. Tel: (01277) 215151.

Brentwood Golf Centre at Hartswood is one of the leading public courses in the south-east. Its popularity stems from the attractive parkland nature and gently undulating fairways, large areas of woodland and the excellent condition in which it is maintained. Although by championship standards the course is not long at 6,160 yards, it is made extremely difficult with small, well bunkered greens. Tel: (01277) 214830.

Other Outdoor Facilities in the Borough include a dry ski slope, go-kart track, tennis courts, bowling greens and various other football, rugby and cricket pitches, and a synthetic floodlit pitch.

Brentwood Sports Council represents all sporting interests in the Borough and is able to present a considered view of the needs and aspirations of all sportsmen and women. The Sports Council, in conjunction with the Borough Council, issues grant aid based upon its aims of supporting excellence in sport.
