Manor House continues course investment programme

10.54am 17th December 2024 - Course Development

The Manor House Golf Club in Wiltshire is reinvesting back into its golf course this winter as it moves ahead with several major improvement projects.

The Manor House has invested back into several course improvement projects this winter, costing more than £75,000. Already nearing completion, a further seven holes will join the club’s ongoing greenside irrigation programme, cutting down on the need for hand-watering by making water delivery more efficient and slashing wastage.

The club is accelerating with its major sustainable bunker renovation project that promises to elevate Clive Clark and Peter Alliss’ acclaimed course, while a woodland clearance project behind the 12th green aiming to encourage Hazel Dormice back onto the land is also underway.

All projects are being undertaken as part of the club’s commitment to sustainability across all areas of the estate. Earlier this year, the Wiltshire venue became one of a select group of UK golf clubs to achieve GEO Certification in recognition of its environmental efforts.

Owned and managed by Exclusive Collection, The Manor House has seen 80 new members join the club in 2024, and membership renewal rates hit 95 per cent.

Golf club manager Andy Ryan said: “As golf continues to boom, we are delighted that so many of our members have chosen to renew their memberships for next year. This has been a very busy time for us, with so much going on both on and off the course, and we thank both our new and old members for the faith they have shown in the club to keep delivering the experiences we all want.

“We look forward to making our course even better and more sustainable over the coming year and beyond, and we intend to keep investing wherever possible to make further enhancements in future.”
