Customer Testimonials

e think we have created something really special here at Ingon Manor. The golf course is outstanding and holds up favourably against anything else in the area, but it is the overall experience of a trip here, even if you have no love of golf, which sets us apart from our peers. Ingon Manor wants to be not only the destination of choice for golfers looking for a challenging round at a reasonable price but also for those who don’t know one end of a putter from another.
If you love golf, good food, fine wine, comfy cosy beds and attentive and caring staff and quite fancy a trip to the one of the most interesting, picturesque and culturally-rich parts of the United Kingdom, then please pay us a visit. Of course, it is easy for us to make such bold claims, but the proof of the sticky toffee pudding is in the eating. So don’t take our word for it, we encourage you to trawl the internet using your favourite search engine and search through the many favourable views of Ingon Manor.

If you want the former go to the local 2 for 1, but if you want a classy meal, served in spacious surroundings by very amenable waiting staff then give it a go, it’s no dearer than some local pubs or bistros. I will be back there again.” “I recently had the delight of going for Dinner at No.19 and I am glad to say I was amazed at the standard of food and the professionalism of the staff. From the gorgeous New Zealand wine to the rump steaks and to-die-for desserts overall it was a fantastic dining experience!” “Once again, just fantastic!

Mains came in the form of the Venison what an absolute star - easily the best we have ever exposed to our tastebuds!” “No.19 is a wonderfully atmospheric dining room in a beautiful timber framed Manor House. The setting is beautiful with panoramic views across Warwickshire. The food is imaginative, perfectly cooked and exquisitely presented, the wine list unpretentious and reasonably priced.

A Base for Exploring
I
ngon Manor is perfectly placed for visitors wishing to explore one of the most tourist-friendly regions in the whole of the United Kingdom.
We are right on the doorstep of Stratfordupon- Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare and a town steeped in culture and history. Only a little further away to the north is Warwick, with its majestic castle, and to the south lies Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds, not forgetting Worcester and the Malverns to the west. You could spend months with us and still go out each and every day and discover fresh places, sights and scenery to enthral. Stratford-upon-Avon itself is less than three miles away. It is home to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, a 1,040-seater auditorium and Grade II listed building on the banks of the river Avon.
30 •
www.ingonmanor.co.uk
The building re-opened in November 2010 following three years of painstaking work yet still retains many of the art deco features of the 1932 Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. Shakespeare’s resting place, underneath the Holy Trinity Church, is another significant attraction, while it is definitely worth spending a few hours visiting the family home of the woman who was to become his bride. Anne Hathaway’s Cottage is a thatched farmhouse set in stunning grounds and gardens, which overflow with beautiful blooms and traditional shrubs. This gorgeous spot is situated in the hamlet of Shottery, just to the west of Stratford-upon-Avon. There are many beautiful small villages nestling in the countryside surrounding Stratford, each with their own charm and history.
There are also a host of majestic National Trust properties within each reach, not least of which is Warwick Castle, a magnificent building set within 60 acres of stunning grounds. The gardens include a late 19thcentury formal peacock garden with topiary, and a re-created Victorian rose garden. Warwick and its historic buildings have featured in a number of television series, including the period drama Pride and Prejudice. Less than an hour away to the south lies Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill and a World Heritage Site. Home to one of Europe’s greatest collections of fine art, the palace is surrounded by over 2,000 acres of ‘Capability’ Brownlandscaped parkland which also includes a great lake, and beautiful formal gardens.
Then there is Henley-in-Arden, a picturepostcard of a town which dates back to medieval times containing many properties of architectural significance. Sports fans are spoilt for choice with toplevel football and cricket in season as well as racecourses at Stratford and Warwick. The options are endless. Make a list of everything you wish to see, decide how long you want to stay and then give us a call on 01789 731857 to book your accommodation. You really couldn’t have made a better choice as a base for exploring Shakespeare Country.

olf Breaks represent a great opportunity to get away with friends of family for a few days and recharge the batteries. They can also offer excellent value for money.
One of the many advantages of having a golf course and a luxury hotel and complementary facilities on the same site is that we can offer some truly outstanding packages for our guests. All you have to do is decide how many rounds it will take you to get the better of our excellent course!
We run golf breaks throughout the year and our website, www. ingonmanor.co.uk, carries details of the latest prices and special deals. Rates include bed and breakfast and a one-course dinner. Packages of three nights and five rounds of golf, two nights and three rounds or one night and two rounds are available both during our peak season of May to September, or off-peak, at even more favourable rates, for the remainder of the year. For more information or to make a booking call 01789 731857.

The Course
I
ngon Manor is set in 171 glorious acres nestling amongst the Welcombe Hills. The 18-hole par-72 championship golf course, at 6,575 yards with its full fairway irrigation system and USGA specification greens, is open all the year round. Designed by David Henstock, it will test all standards of golfer. Our par 3 17th signature hole deserves a special mention, 203 yards over water to an island green. While there are certainly difficult holes, the course is nothing other than fair and there are some holes that offer the opportunity of birdie or better. The short par 4 4th, for example, is downhill all the way and can be reached with a straight, well-hit drive.
Particular care has been taken to maintain the natural beauty of the Welcombe Hills. The planting of more than 50,000 trees and the use of lakes have helped to create areas that are ecologically friendly. From the highest points you will be rewarded with some stunning views over the surrounding countryside and beyond. Visitors who savour what the course and club has to offer appreciate that Ingon Manor is something very special. Apart from the course, further delights await around the clubhouse with attractive courtyards and patios. A leisurely drink here on a balmy summer’s evening could be many a golfer’s idea of paradise.

Visitor Information
V
isitors are welcome to Ingon Manor throughout the week and can look forward to an excellent round of golf, followed by a warm, friendly atmosphere and some good food in the clubhouse. You do not have to be a golfer to be able to spend an enjoyable time with us. Our bar and restaurant are open throughout the day. You are always welcome in the clubhouse to enjoy a social drink or friendly meal. The club is situated in some lovely countryside so you may want to enjoy the splendid views to work up an appetite or to work off your meal.
In common with other clubs we do insist on a minimum standard of smart casual dress in the clubhouse at all times. Playing wear is only acceptable if it has not become damp or soiled in any way during the course of play. Caps are never permitted in the clubhouse. All visitors are required to show a valid handicap certificate before playing. If you are in any doubt please discuss with our golf professional at the time of making your booking. We do prefer golfers to be of a sufficient standard for them to be able to enjoy their round and for them not to inconvenience other players when out on the course.
We are a fairly relaxed club, but we do ask visitors to respect our rules and standard golfing etiquette to ensure their visit runs as smoothly as possible.
