The Manor House Golf Club will be the destination for some of golf’s rising stars this summer when the Wiltshire venue plays host to Europe’s leading development tour for the very first time.
The club’s par-72 parkland course will welcome the 2023 Mizuno Next Gen Series, presented by Clutch Pro Tour from June 5-7.
The official feeder tour to the European Challenge Tour, the Clutch Pro Tour Tier One event will visit the Castle Combe venue for the first time ever. On June 5, The Manor House will host a pro-am where amateurs will have the opportunity to play alongside a Clutch Tour player in tournament conditions before the professionals take centre stage to compete over 36 holes the following two days.
The Manor House’s tree-lined course will provide a tough challenge for the next generation of golfers as they compete in the sixth Tier One event of the season for a prize fund of at least £60,000.
The event will arrive at the Wiltshire course following a year of investment. A major sustainable bunker renovation project is currently underway as BunkerMat technology is introduced on the majority of its 80 bunkers to improve sand retention on the steep slopes.
The Manor House’s greenkeeping team also recently completed a project to help prevent erosion on the bank of the greenside lake of the second hole, and the club has purchased a new Gambetti sprayer for turf care purposes.
Golf club manager Andy Ryan said: “We are delighted to be hosting the Mizuno Next Gen Series, presented by Clutch Pro Tour in June and are looking forward to welcoming everyone for what promises to be a great few days of golf.
“After recent course investment, and with further improvements set to take place ahead of the event including the completion of bunker work, the course will be in an excellent condition and will provide a real test for the game’s next stars.”
