Hanbury Manor Golf Club

The course was originally conceived by Harry Vardon, winner of a record six Open Championships, who designed the holes to fit around the elegant family home in 1890. Since then, Jack Nicklaus Junior was commissioned to reinvigorate the course and make sure that it was relevant to the rigours of the modern professional game.

The result is astounding, as the 7,052 layout is now among the country's elite and is a true pleasure to play. The mature trees and expanses of water that characterise the estate make for a spectacular landscape, helping to explain why Hanbury Manor is regarded as one of the finest destinations for a golf break in all of England. In 2025, Hanbury Manor was proudly inducted into the prestigious Eminent Collection by the respected 59club.

On the tough 8th, be sure to hit the fairway, otherwise your approach to the closely guarded plateau green will be even more difficult, and could end in a watery grave.

The Legends Tour has visited Hanbury Manor in 2023 & 2024 while the Rose Ladies Open was held there in 2025.

This is the third Marriot mini golf holiday we have had. The others were St.Pierre and Forest of Arden. This was by far the worst from a golfing point of view as basically this is a members golf club which tolerates guests from the hotel up to a point.

Excellent hotel....only downside is long walks to everything internally due to the size of the buildings.... a small price to pay really.

Very pleasant and comfortable stay in interesting surroundings. I would have liked done information on the history of the manor. In addition, the walk from room to restaurant was rather long and would have been very challenging if it had been wet

Poor
2.0

Very disappointing. You cannot play until the afternoon and then only from the 1st tee. Visitors car park is a long walk to the pro shop. Member is near but barriers prevent use to guests. Whilst agreeing that the conditions were not conducive to allowing buggies, members were allowed buggies for medical conditions. The Vardon restaurant which serves as the 19th only allowed guests to have a table in the corner with most tables were reserved but unoccupied by members.

Very good layout and excellent greens normally...……..unfortunately they had been hollow tined and sanded a week before which was unfortunate. Also long walks between the two 9 holes....a buggy would have been useful.

Loved the golf and environment.However, the course signage was very very poor. We couldn't find the WC at halfway house on day one...we made more effort in asking where they were on day two...just halfway house is not enough.in addition we played the 17th thinking it was the 15th....nothing to tell us differently.

Beautiful course very well maintained,even bunkers were superb. Greens were a joy (fast). The course was a joy with the open but challenging front nine and the tree lined challenge of the old Verdon back nine. We will revisit this venue good golfing challenge. (13hcp)

Fairways and greens in great condition, some treatment to the greens last week which affected them slightly hence 4 stars. Great course, pleasure to play.

We had a range of handicaps playing from 8 to 24 but all the ladies enjoyed the challenge of the course and everyone said they would like to play it again!

A great Jack Nicklaus design, superb condition, combination of challenging holes for all levels of golfer, depending on which tees you play from. The yellows make the course too short for single figure handicaps, the whites offer a far more enjoyable challenge and for those really wanting to play a Championship course, play from the Blue tees.

Excellent

I’ve played quite a few courses round the world but this was up there with the best condition course I’ve ever played on. The course is set out for all skill levels and the pace of play was very good on my visit considering 170 tee’d off in one day
