Hanbury Manor Championship Course

Harry Vardon originally laid out a nine hole course in the majestic parkland grounds in the early 1900s but it was Jack Nicklaus's eldest son who brought the Hanbury Manor old course back to life.  Benhind the manor house was an undulating piece of farmland and this was used for tha addition of nine new holes and the original Vardon pakland layout was completely revised.  The official opening took place in 1991, with an exhibition match between Tony Jacklin and Dace Stockton.  Jack Nicklaus II was there too.

 

Scoring well on this demanding course is easier said than done.  The 8th hole is toughest on the course, measuring 425 yards with out-of-bounds all the way along the right hand side.  The approach shot to the green is tricky, even from the middle of the fairway.  The green is elevated and protected by a lake on the left and a grassy hollow to the right, the round and the green slope cruelly towards the lake. 

 

The back nine features some memorable holes, playing through majestic oaks and across numerous lakes.

 

Overall this popular course is a good test of golf and an experience not to be missed.
