Chart Hills Golf Club Makes a Splash in Golf World’s Top 100 Courses!
Exciting news for golf lovers! Chart Hills Golf Club has officially rejoined the impressive ranks of Golf World’s Top 100 Courses in England. This recognition comes after a whirlwind five-year restoration and investment journey that started when RAMAC took over the club in 2019.
Restoration Revolution at Chart Hills
The restoration efforts weren’t just a paint job; they significantly enhanced the golfing experience from the first swing to that satisfying final putt. One of the standout features is a brand-new six-hole par-3 course called The Loop. Designed by golfing legend Sir Nick Faldo, The Loop sits right next to the practice range. It promises a quick and tactical way for golfers to sharpen their wedge control or simply add a touch of fun to the end of their rounds.
Putt to Perfection
Golf lovers will be thrilled with the unveiling of a spectacular new 668 m² putting green. This isn’t just any putting green; it’s inspired by Sir Nick Faldo’s favorite contours, featuring an exhilarating section known as the Valley of Sin. With such challenging features, golfers will surely find their skills put to the test!
A Classic with a Twist
Since its grand opening in 1993, Chart Hills Golf Club has been cherished for its thrilling golfing experiences, particularly by fans of Sir Nick Faldo. Imagine teeing off on signature holes like the par-5 “Anaconda” 5th hole that boasts one of Europe’s longest bunkers, or conquering the signature island-green 17th hole requiring just the right yardage. Talk about a challenge!
Year-Round Playability
To top it all off, from 2020 to 2021, the club completed an impressive sandcapping project across all 18 fairways. This innovative enhancement is designed to improve year-round playability and consistency on the course. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with golfers noting the firm, true, and resilient conditions during even the wettest of days.
Tailored Play
And if you love options, you’re in for a treat! Chart Hills has leveled, drained, and re-turfed its 72 tee boxes between 2024 and 2025. Now golfers can enjoy a consistent presentation year-round. With new yardage markers, enthusiasts can choose from distances ranging from just above 5,500 yards to over 7,100 yards, making it accommodating for players of all skill levels.
Avenue for All Occasions
In 2024, the club introduced The Barn, a charming new venue featuring four boutique suites that can host up to eight guests. Whether it’s for a golf getaway or even a wedding, these cozy accommodations are perfect for gatherings. Plus, Stay & Play packages are slated to start from £199 per person, running from October 2025 until March 2026 – what a delightful opportunity!
The Young Classic Status
Located in Kent, just a few miles west of Ashford, Chart Hills Golf Club is often noted as a young classic in English golf. It proudly holds the title of being the only Signature Faldo Design course in Europe and has hosted prestigious events, including the Ladies English Open and Qualifying School for the DP World Tour.
The Future Looks Bright
With ongoing improvements on the horizon, Chart Hills Golf Club is dedicated to continuing its journey of enhancing facilities and providing an unparalleled golfing experience for all who visit. With such a promising path ahead, it’s clear that this beloved golf course will only grow in prestige and popularity!
