Chart Hills Golf Club Rises to Fame After Major Restoration!
Exciting news for golf enthusiasts! Chart Hills Golf Club has officially made its mark by securing a spot in Golf World’s Top 100 Courses in England. This recognition comes on the heels of a significant five-year restoration program led by RAMAC, who took the reins of the club back in 2019.
A Vision Come to Life
The restoration project was no small feat. It aimed to elevate every golfer’s experience, ensuring that from the very first tee to the final putt, everything feels absolutely top-notch. As part of this transformative effort, a brand-new six-hole par-3 course has been unveiled, aptly named The Loop. This gem was crafted by the legendary Sir Nick Faldo himself and is situated right next to the practice range. This quick and tactical course is a delightful way to sharpen your wedge control, or even just to add a bit of fun to the end of your game.
Putting Green with a Twist
And that’s not all! The club has also introduced a massive 668 m² putting green that’s inspired by Sir Nick Faldo’s preferred contours, featuring a formidable spot known as the Valley of Sin. It’s sure to challenge even the most seasoned golfers!
Signature Holes That Keep You on Your Toes
Chart Hills Golf Club isn’t just about new additions—it holds a special place in the hearts of golfers since it first opened its doors back in 1993. Known for thrilling experiences that have charmed Faldo fans for decades, it features signature holes that you simply can’t miss! Take the par-5 “Anaconda” 5th hole, famous for boasting one of Europe’s longest bunkers. Then there’s the iconic island-green 17th hole, which poses a significant challenge that requires pinpoint accuracy.
Sandcapping for the Win
In a fantastic move for long-term playability, the club wrapped up a sandcapping project across all 18 fairways between 2020 and 2021. As a result, golfers can now enjoy a course that’s firmer, truer, and remarkably resilient—even during wet weather!
Consistent Year-Round Play
To keep standards high, the club has leveled, drained, and re-turfed its 72 tee boxes from 2024 to 2025, ensuring a pristine appearance throughout the year. Plus, newly installed yardage markers will allow players to choose distances that range from just above 5,500 yards to a challenging over 7,100 yards!
A Stay to Remember
Adding to its charm, The Barn—a cozy venue at the club—opened its doors in 2024. It features four boutique suites that can accommodate up to eight guests, making it ideal for golf groups or even weddings. For those looking to mix leisure with golf, the club will be offering Stay & Play packages starting from just £199 per person for the upcoming season. These packages will be available from October 2025 until March 2026!
A Classic in the Making
Located just a few miles away from Ashford, Chart Hills Golf Club is often described as a young classic in English golf history. As the only Signature Faldo Design course in Europe, it has even hosted prestigious events like the Ladies English Open and the Qualifying School for the DP World Tour.
Looking Ahead
The transformation of Chart Hills isn’t stopping anytime soon! Further course improvement efforts are already lined up as the club continues to enhance its facilities and the overall golfing experience for its visitors. So grab your clubs and get ready to experience something truly special at Chart Hills Golf Club!
