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.

Room was spacious and clean, well stocked with tea/coffee making facilities. Unfortunately the cast iron restaurant was closed and dinner in the Vardon was very limited. Strong smell of bleach throughout the day and evening.
8 / 10
Very good rooms, comfortable beds and well appointed rooms.
Set menu for evening meal worked very well with the options available.
Breakfast was excellent with a wide selection of things available. However some of the party arrived early on the Sunday and had breakfast. This was charged at £18.50 which zi think is a bit too much considering a party of 15 were staying with them.
Drinks were a little on the expensive side, especially the wine.
Bars closed at 11pm on Sunday night and the party of 15 would have spent another hour in their.

Twin room was excellent with two double beds.
10 / 10
Had a one night stay, 2 rounds of golf. Without being spectacular, the overall experience at the hotel was superb. This was in large part down to the wonderful staff...whoever recruits and trains these professional and friendly people needs an award. Worried about the dreaded " buffet breakfast" but it was extensive and fresh. Good swimming pool and large pleasant room .

Unfortunately we had issues with our reservation booking the restaurant manager told us there was no dinner confirmation on his system and the restaurant was full, it took over 35 mins rectify
During this time we order drinks from the bar which took as long
Eventually he offered us a table with a set menu but the food was ok
Unfortunately there was no apology he was very dismissive
We did enjoy our evening and the group of 9 ladies made the best of our evening
10 / 10
A truly stunning hotel and grounds. Would highly recommend to anyone, spa facilities were absolutely perfect breakfast was amazing. Huge thumbs up from all 8 of us that stayed
6 / 10
We paid a high cost with the promise of dinner but when we went to book dinner, we were told we weren't allowed to eat at the a la carte and instead had to eat at the bar, which was a burger and fries.
10 / 10
Had a lovely stay at the hotel. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. The grounds were lovely. And the facilities were great.
6 / 10
All staff very good except reception person was very poor. Didn’t have us booked in for dinner thought we were on b&B basis only then changed it to only one person pre paid for dinner. No apology and a waste of time. All other staff were very good
10 / 10
Fantastic location with breathtaking views of the grounds. First class service from all staff over the weekend they went above and beyond to make our staff excellent. Definitely recommend and will be returning

10 / 10
Great location, friendly staff, big rooms. Just needed Aircon in the room
8 / 10
For a group of 4 staying 1 night and two rounds we had two twin rooms. Nice and comfy and great to actually have two double beds rather than single twin beds (this has happened before and definitely not comfy)
Breakfast and dinner in the cast iron grill was great and the staff were very attentive. Food quality was very good.
Seeing as we was there on a Friday and Saturday was quite surprised to see the sports bar pretty much empty on the evening but plenty of seating and screens
Drinks prices are a little steep but guess this is what you get when visiting bigger golfing resorts.
All in all great facilities within the hotel and definitely good value for money!
10 / 10
Hotel is great
8 / 10
Although very smart hotel and excellent facilities, the main issue we all experienced was the lack of directions in a large hotel. Also the distance between facilities was incredible, bar to room, room to restaurant, also bars very punctual on closing not a chance of a late drink in the bar!

Very accommodating staff and very relaxing.

8 / 10
Lovely hotel set in beautiful grounds - sports bar worked well for watching football. Main restaurant was fine and food was adequate but in our view a hotel of this quality should be offering a higher standard of food - historically we stayed here when they had a restaurant with white table clothes and a Michelin star.
10 / 10
Really enjoyed the course and the food and the hotel were great and the staff were exceptional
10 / 10
The hotel and food was fantastic but the condition of the fairways not so good and I would anticipate a green fee reduction if I was just paying for the golf
8 / 10
Outstanding weekend enjoyed by everyone
4 / 10
Understaffed in restaurant area and breakfast, consequence of dirty dishes tables not cleared, ran out plates/bowls cutlery etc…..
Towel laundering hard feel.
Food - underwhelming and overpriced
Significant drop in standard since last vacation visit.
One night stay with 18 holes golf with total cost @ £500 ??
No, we wont be back. And good luck Hanbury Manor.
10 / 10
Really enjoyed our stay - great location, lovely hotel and excellent food. Whilst we had the opportunity to choose A la carte we were pleasantly surprised at the options and quality of the golfer package set menu. Particular mention must go to all of the staff - whether on the course, the pro shop, restaurant/bars or the spa - everyone without exception was friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend and we hope to visit again.
10 / 10
lovely old manor house. Great food and facilities. Golf course was very enjoyable, albeit it’s a long walk between holes!! I’d recommend a buggy!
10 / 10
You get what you pay for with Hanbury Manor, a high quality hotel, great food, service and fantastic facilities - the pool, steam room and sauna help golf recovery. We would certainly go again.

The hotel and grounds are lovely, the pro shop was full of extremely helpful members of staff and the hotel was no different. The building itself is kept very clean and tidy and although the rooms wouldnt be classified as luxury they were perfect for what we required. The breakfast (buffet style) was good on both days the the dinner in the restaurant was also very good, this wasnt just pub food (although they do serve this in the golf bar and that was also delicious). Overall very please with our stay.

Restaurant and bar staffs are all new, they do not know how to serve customers
6 / 10
First time back at HM for over 10 years. Hotel and rooms could do with a spruce up tbh and the restaurant was ok but nowhere near as good as I recall it being previously. Bar closed at 11pm (on a Thursday night?) and there was an acute shortage of decent good quality wine. Asked for 4 bottles of Sancerre for the table being a group of 12 to be advised they only had 3 in stock whilst the Argentinian Malbec we ordered was not available at all. Staff were courteous, pleasant and attentive however. Shame we couldn’t spend a bit more time (and money) in the bar after dinner with our clients….
8 / 10
Lovely hote. Great staff, was a shame the sports bar was closed on Fri and sat nights but the main bar is fine. Rooms nice and big
10 / 10
This is a great place to stay, the staff were super helpful and a real asset. Only comment would be that - as the golf centre is so far from the reception - it would be good if you could also check out via the golf centre.

Hotel was very good. Rooms a good size and well maintained. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Staff were attentive especially Megan, who was excellent.

Disappointingly tatty/dated hotel. Apart from the Cocktail bar which looked interesting historically and was clean, all other areas, IE the main restaurant, Vardon Golf:Leisure bar, bedrooms and bathrooms are in need of a good clean and revamp. Food on the floor and seats after table tops were cleared, tatty veneered and wonky tables, upholstery rubbed away on the seat backs. Staff in the main restaurant unhelpful, drinks very slow to arrive, food warm but not hot. Nice puddings at dinner and a good Maitre D at breakfast, pleasant receptionist on checkout. Very disappointed in what cost £400 (plus drinks and a la carte dinner supplement) for 2 people one night dinner, bed and breakfast with a round of golf each.
8 / 10
Like most places at the moment Hanbury Manor suffers from a lack of staff in all areas due to Covid-19. However the staff were hard working and did everything they could to make your stay enjoyable. The set menu for dinner (we were a golf society on one night golf break) was a little limited on choice, but again this was impacted on staff levels. However, the food was very good. Rooms were well appointed and comfortable would recommend.
8 / 10
Cannot fault the staff or service both were excellent
Evening meal was very good. Breakfast is never so good when food is under heat lamps. Room was very comfortable
8 / 10
The manor is stunning and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Shower in room is a bath / shower combination and tight, not very user friendly for more senior guests. Grounds are stunning and well managed, food and bars quality was good.
8 / 10
Room good could do with more tea coffee and milk but otherwise good
8 / 10
THE STAFF WERE EXCELLENT. THE ROOM WAS COMFORTABLE BUT THE SHOWER AND BATHROOM FACILITIES WERE BASIC. THE SHOWER WAS WEAK AND THE TIOILET DIDNT ALWAYS FLUSH AS IT WAS FILLING VERY SLOWLY. POOR QUALITY T0WELS IN THE ROOM BUT THE SPA TOWELS AND SHOWERS WERE EXCELLENT. THE SLIPPERS NEEDED TO COME IN LARGER SIZES. THE FOOD WAS VERY TASTY AND THE SERVICE IN THE RESTAURANT WAS PERFECT. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE ABAR WITH A BIT MORE ATMOSPHERE TO USE AFTER OUR MEAL. THE SPORTS BAR WAS AVERAGE. AND DIDNT HAVE SKY SPORTS.
8 / 10
Hotel was very nice, but for the size of the hotel it seem to be short on staff.

No complaints at all. Accommodation, bars and restaurants of a high quality in a country house setting. Food was good but not exceptional with all the standard choices. Staff were all friendly and attentive possibly the most memorable aspect of the stay.

Lovely stay but shocked to find that having already paid for the trip through your golf travel that on returning home I have been charged for our stay again!!! Still waiting for them to refund my money!!! 🙁🙁

Lovely Manor House and grounds. Our two double bedrooms were in the Orchard Wing on top floor of three. Lift broken so had to go back to Reception to arrange porterage to help with luggage. These room quite dark with very small windows and warm at night, fan in room helped. One large double bed with feather mattress topper and duvet so very warm. Bathroom worn fittings but everything worked. Evening Menu very limited and odd that set price menu on package almost mirrored the Al A Carte available for a £10 supplement. Steak was good. Premium draft beer and larger not available across both Main and Spike Bar outlets, beer in one and larger in another, why? Restaraunt staff did obtain from Spike, thank you. Breakfast was good, order fresh eggs at your table as only scrambled on the served buffet. Used the pool, excellent. Prebooking required for one hour timed slot. Overall the room and dining experience was below par for a Premium Hotel and did not represent value for money. Whilst we accept that some limitations are required by Covid safeguarding we are not paying a reduced rate. Staff were helpful and friendly across all services. The hotel will need to modernise and lift its dining experience if it is to compete with Brockett Hall and other premium Hotels in the area.

The Hanbury manor golf course was fantastic fairways and greens were lovely. The hotel was great the staff were very helpful and the manor itself was beautiful. Will be back soon
8 / 10
Comfortable twin rooms located on the ground floor of the hotel block, not the main Manor House.
Clean and tidy if not a little dated.
Large rooms to be able to take golf clubs and trolley in between golfing days.
Car Park free and close by if you preffered placing back into your car.
Bar closed at 11pm and last orders at 10.30, we thought a little early to be fair.
Also the bar had a TV, yet only had BBC and ITV euro games, and no golf via sky? Seems odd for a golf resort.
Overall 4 star. Would go and play again.
8 / 10
Service at the Pro Shop was very good. Room's for golfers are excellent - 2 double beds in the room plus all the amenities - your tea/ coffee etc. The dinner service and food was very very good (admittedly we paid the extra £15/per head for the steak - bit extreme but quality was very good). Staff throughout were very helpful and nothing was a problem. Very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Our stay unfortunately coincided with the COVID 19 pandemic rule limitations, so our experience was a bit limited by comparison with the usual amenities that would have been available to our group.
8 / 10
Beautiful setting, staff very polite and couldn’t do more for you. We had treatments in the spa which were excellent as was the golf.
10 / 10
The hotel was really impressive in style a layout although there are some very long walks through the hotel to the restaurant and reception depending on where your room is.
The only restaurant serving food was the main dining room with the golfers bar only offering pre packed sandwiches which were worse than service station sandwiches and on our last day not even offering that.
The food in the main restaurant in the evening and breakfast were very good.
One big downside was the service charge on every bill. The drinks were expensive enough without that added an it was not mention this was added on the first two days or even given the bill to see.
Beer was £7-£8 and a glass of wine £12 !!!
6 / 10
Lovely building and rooms, however we were directed on arrival to a rather dismal bar, with limited drink choice and only packet sandwiches and crisps available
While understanding that waiter service is mandatory we felt the 12.5% service charge was steep.
Dinner was acceptable but with a limited menu and no upgrade available, again the setting was dismal for such a lovely building
The staff were excellent
The golf course could’ve been excellent but suffers with poor drainage and we happened to hit it after a wet spell. Greens had been cores and dressed, unavoidable but a shame. Unless there’s summer run on the fairways I would recommend the yellow tees for mid handicappers as the whites are 500 yards longer and it’s noticed.
Would come back post Covid and hope the dining and bar experience is improved.
8 / 10
Really nice rooms and friendly staff, however with table service being put in place there were too few
6 / 10
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.
10 / 10
Excellent hotel....only downside is long walks to everything internally due to the size of the buildings.... a small price to pay really.
10 / 10
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
10 / 10
Wonderfull building lots of charm and grandeur, staff very friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent and varied and catered easily for dietary needs. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The staff were appalling, too few and completely overwhelmed and under trained. The service was slow and inept a great shame.

I how stayed at this hotel many times since it opened in the late 80's and am pleased to report that my stay on this occasion was as good as any that I have previously enjoyed. Great staff, comfortable rooms, fantastic dinner and breakfast, plus the golf course in superb condition.

Couldn’t have asked for a better hotel to stay in. The food, staff and facilities were all very good and would highly recommend coming here. I will definitely be back!

From start to finish it was a great stay, checking in was so simple and the receptionists were very helpful, are rooms were ready when we got there at midday and are bags were taken straight to are rooms so we could go and have lunch before golf.
6 / 10
Hotel is beautiful, rooms are ordinary, and staff is mixed (front desk are terrific, restaurant and bar - particularly vardons is poor - customers treated with indifference). I didn’t use spa facilities but Tyner are very nice in appearance.
10 / 10
the stay was wonderful,the staff all very friendly,we also used the snooker table,which could of done with a bit more lighting,has its been moved to a conference room,and the ceiling lights do not line up with the table.but enjoyed stay and will hopefully go again.
8 / 10
Lovely place - a bit dated in decor (particularly the breakfast restaurant), but pleasant enough nonetheless.
The only thing I was not very happy about was the fact that the non-golfing part of the party were told they could not use the spa until we were checked in. Our golf round started at 12 so we arrived round 11:30 and the non-golfers were not permitted access to the spa, even though we had been told they could. We had to plead with the reception staff for an exception to this rule before they were finally let in. This was very poor service and made the non-golfers feel like 2nd rate citizens.
