Chart Hills Golf Club Makes a Splash in Golf World’s Top 100 Courses in England
Golf enthusiasts, rejoice! Chart Hills Golf Club is back in the spotlight as it has earned its place in Golf World’s Top 100 Courses in England after undergoing an impressive five-year restoration project. This transformation is the result of significant investment and dedication by the club’s new owners, RAMAC, who took the plunge and acquired the club in 2019.
The Restoration Journey
The restoration was no small task; it was all about elevating the golfing experience from the very first tee to the last putt. Golfers can now expect a delightful challenge as they navigate through the stunningly revamped course. One highlight of the changes includes the introduction of a brand-new six-hole par-3 course called The Loop. Designed by legendary golfer Sir Nick Faldo himself, this quick and tactical course is perfect for sharpening your wedge skills or simply enjoying a fun round after the main event.
Putting Practice Just Got Better
But that’s not all! A spectacular 668 m² putting green has been added, inspired by Sir Nick Faldo’s favorite contours. This new green comes complete with a fascinating area known as the Valley of Sin, challenging even the most skilled putters. Imagine stepping onto a putting green that offers both excitement and a test of your skills!
A Legacy of Thrills and Challenges
Originally opened in 1993, Chart Hills is renowned for delivering thrilling golf experiences that have garnered a loyal following among Faldo fans. The course features some truly signature holes, such as the par-5 “Anaconda” 5th hole, which boasts one of Europe’s longest bunkers. Talk about a challenge! The course’s signature 17th hole, an island-green, provides a nail-biting test requiring impeccable yardage to conquer.
Consistent Playability Year-Round
During the 2020-2021 season, a massive sandcapping project was completed across all 18 fairways, which significantly enhanced the year-round playability and overall course consistency. Feedback from golfers has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the course’s firmer, truer, and more resilient conditions, even during wet weather.
New Features for Every Golfer
Recently, between 2024 and 2025, the club took it a step further by leveling, draining, and re-turfing all 72 tee boxes, ensuring golfers can enjoy a consistent presentation year-round. Plus, with new yardage markers installed, players can select distances that suit their skill level, ranging from just above 5,500 yards to over 7,100 yards. It’s a fantastic way to cater to all types of players!
A Venue for Everyone
But the excitement doesn’t end on the greens! The club also introduced The Barn, a brand-new venue that opened in 2024, offering four boutique suites that can accommodate up to eight guests. Whether you’re planning a golf getaway with friends or organizing a wedding, this new space is perfect for creating unforgettable memories.
Stay & Play Packages Await!
For those looking to indulge, Stay & Play packages will be available starting from just £199 per person for the upcoming season, running from October 2025 to March 2026. A perfect way to enjoy both the beautiful course and comfortable accommodations—what more could a golf lover ask for?
The Journey Continues
