Chart Hills Golf Club
Hailed as one of the finest recently-built golf courses in England, Chart Hills is the British architectural debut of six times Major winner, Nick Faldo. Set on 200 acres of gently undulating hills, Chart Hills was officially opened for play in August 1993 and despite its relative youth in golfing terms, the course has already gained many accolades: being voted "Best new course in England" by Golf World, "Best inland course in the United Kingdom" by Following the Fairways, and being ranked number 5 in World of Golf's 2004 listings of top 200 courses in UK & Ireland. In addition, Chart Hills has been chosen to host the European Tour qualifying school venue and played host to the Ladies English Open from 2004 to 2006.
Having left the 18th green at Chart Hills, your abiding memories are likely to include bunkers, water and greens. Offering over 130 bunkers, clever and abundant use of water hazards, and greens so fast that in the summer months, it is akin to putting on glass, Faldo has succeeded in creating a real parkland masterpiece. While the course on the whole, will certainly create a positive lasting impression, two of the signature features of the design include the long "Anaconda Bunker" on the 5th hole and the illusive island green on the short 17th hole.
