Manor House - Wiltshire - England

Nice course, but absolutely agree with the comments about the routing. Some long and steep walks between several greens and tees. Course marketing is also a bit over the top - the 17th is a good short par 3, but very definitely not "one of the top 10 par 3s in the world".

I returned to the Manor House last week after a six-year gap and thoroughly enjoyed the round in breezy but dry conditions. We took a buggy as my playing partner was nursing a leg injury and can confirm that the rule is still to keep buggies on the paths despite the dry weather. I’m not a lover of buggies, less so when they have to be kept on the paths, but I certainly wasn’t complaining when we were whizzing along, making short work of the very long walks between some greens and tees. For me, the routing is the biggest issue at the Manor; the course itself is varied and at times very exciting. One or two holes could at best be described as barely average but the majority are decent golf holes. It’s the routing that lets it down and will always prevent the course from being top class in my opinion. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were running at a slippery 10.5 on the stimp according the guys in the pro shop. These were some of the slipperiest greens I’ve played on this year, so well done to the green keepers. Service, as has already been mentioned in reviews below, is exceptional and this improves the overall experience. The Manor House is an above average golf course at a facility where the service is excellent and this is a great mix for a short break and one that I’ve enjoyed.

My wife and I had a two day break staying in the hotel and played the course twice. The welcome in the pro shop was enthusiastic and efficient. We had a buggy on the advice of friends who had played the course previously but saw plenty of people either with electric or manual trolleys managing very well.The course was in excellent condition. Our visit was in the summer and the greens were true and fair. The first hole, a dog leg left, is one best played a couple of times to understand club selection on the drive. The second is a par three drop hole with again club selection all important. There is a good use of terrain making up the course and the signature hole, the 17th again a par three drop hole, is a joy. There are two greens available at the 17th both with water hazards.

The Manor House Golf Course is simply Stunning. Myself and a ground of friends went on a very good deal to stay at the new Waterful lodge which is superbly placed next to the 18th green. The course was just magical with my favourite being the 17th (Par 3). The guys in the pro shop were extremely helpful and i definatl recomend a bite to eat in the woodbury restaurant. Cant wait to go back!

I visited the Manor House Golf club with a few of my friends and we were welcomed by the most friendly staff. They looked after us for the duration of the day and every request was met with a smile. The Course itself was truly beautiful but challenging. If you do go to this wonderful club house i would definitely recommend having a bite to eat in the Woodbury, the food here is delicious and the service is fantastic! I will definitely be returning in the near future.

This is one special venue...Played it a couple of years ago and loved it then...but after recent visit felt compelled to share with the rest of the golfing world. Stunning holes, stunning views and in amazing condition...undoubtably the best golf course in the West/South West. No wonder they have a membership waiting list!

Loved this course, interesting par 3s and immaculate conditioning from tee to green. Staff very attentive and friendly and the food in the club house was just perfect after 18 holes. We stayed in the Manor House hotel and loved its character, customer service and, not to mention, great restaurant. Will definitely return.

This course is a gem! This is by far the best course I have ever played. The greenkeepers clearly take a lot of pride in keeping the course in stunning shape. I would recommend using a buggy if you haven’t played the course before and I have heard that they are renewing all of the fleet with new quiet electric buggies, to make the experience even more enjoyable! The food in the clubhouse is of an exceptional standard and the staff all seem like they are dedicated to providing a day to remember! I will be going back very soon!

Played course in January after a spell of very wet weather, however I found the course in super condition, particularly the greens. A real mixture of holes with some real gems, 8th is a cracker and 2 of the par 3's, the 2nd and 17th are brilliant. Received a wonderful welcome from all staff and members, a definate must play course and deserves a higher ranking, I played Bowood a day before and Manor House is miles ahead in every department. A buggy is essential though!!

There is no doubting this course is one of the most picturesque you'll play, certainly in the south west of England.The layout is its downfall. Walking sometimes is not an option, especially during a hot summers day. One walk between one green and the next tee was up hill and seemed miles! I have also played the course with the use of a buggy, which saves your legs a bit, but the carts have to stick to the paths at all times which meant taking 2 or 3 clubs out to the fairway for every shot.There are some good holes, but a also a few Mickey Mouse holes. The condition of the course and lovely club house could not be faulted. Green fees a little steep, but well worth a game.
