The Manor House Golf Club’s position among Europe’s premier golf destinations has been recognised within a new industry ranking of the continent’s most luxurious venues.
The Golf World 'Top 100 Luxe Resorts Europe', a new wish-list of resorts guaranteeing long-weekend luxury, ranked The Manor House in 27th place in Europe and within the top five resorts in the UK and Ireland. This is further proof that The Manor House is delivering Golf on another level.
The Cotswolds venue forms part of Exclusive Collection, the collection of country house hotels, spas and golf destinations across the UK. In recent years, the group has invested heavily across its golf and hospitality offering, helping strengthen its appeal among travelling golfers from the UK, Europe and the United States.
Alongside The Manor House, properties including Pennyhill Park and Royal Berkshire are positioned within easy reach of many of Surrey and Berkshire’s world-renowned golf courses, further enhancing Exclusive Collection’s growing reputation within the luxury golf travel market.
The latest ranking reflects the increasing international profile of both The Manor House and the wider collection as destinations for golfers seeking championship golf combined with high-end hospitality and countryside experiences.
At the heart of The Manor House experience is the championship course, designed by Peter Alliss and Clive Clark, stretching across 365 acres of rolling Cotswolds countryside, ready to sweep you off your feet in a true countryside retreat. Alongside the golf, guests enjoy luxury accommodation, Michelin-star dining in the Bybrook restaurant, and the exceptional hospitality that defines the Exclusive Collection brand.
Just a short distance away, and part of the resort, The Castle Inn complements the whole experience with its relaxed, quintessentially English pub atmosphere, offering stylish boutique rooms and seasonal dining, making it an ideal extension for guests looking to explore more of the surrounding area. The panel described The Manor House as: “One of GB&I’s leading couples’ retreats, golfing or otherwise. A characterful, luxurious hotel with real attention to detail, as well as the Michelin-starred Bybrook.”
The Manor House also holds GEO Certification® for sustainable golf operations. As part of Exclusive Collection, a certified B Corp, sustainability is embedded across the entire business, ensuring a holistic and responsible approach to operations. Environmental work across the estate includes biodiversity and habitat management, water conservation initiatives and low-impact course maintenance supported by a new fleet of Kress robotic mowers. Alongside its sustainability commitments, the club has continued to invest in course conditioning and long-term improvements, including an ongoing full bunker renovation programme designed to further enhance the playing experience and presentation of the championship course.
Andrew Ryan, director of golf at The Manor House, said:
"To be recognised among Europe's leading luxury golf resorts is a hugely proud moment for everyone involved with The Manor House. We've continued to invest in the golf course, the wider guest experience and the long-term future of the estate, so this recognition feels particularly rewarding."
"What's especially pleasing is to see The Manor House ranked alongside and ahead of some of the biggest and most established resorts in European golf. It reflects the hard work of the entire team and reinforces the direction we're heading in as a destination."
