“This is no ordinary restaurant, it does not serve microwaved to death and prepared bought in food. It serves seasonal, chefprepared and cooked seasonal dishes and yes the portions aren’t huge but they are large enough for the average appetite, fantastically cooked and taste amazing. 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.”

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.

30 | 2012

Ingon Manor

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.

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.

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.

Becoming a Member

I

ngon Manor Golf Club has a very active membership of more than 450. Our men’s, ladies and junior sections offer a full competition fixtures schedule aimed at players of all standards. We also run several friendly events and a varied social calendar.

We welcome applications for membership and offer seven-day memberships which allow unlimited golf, use of the clubhouse facilities, entry into club competitions and the chance to acquire and maintain an officially-recognised handicap. Five-day

membership affords the same benefits from Monday to Friday only and payment can be spread over 12 months if required.

We feel you will find these subscriptions extremely reasonable, particularly if you calculate how much it would cost it would cost to play just once a week on a municipal pay and play course. Being a member of our friendly club will also encourage you to play more.

Ingon Manor offers excellent rates to junior golfers, with considerable discounts available for players under 17 and for Intermediate players aged between 17 and 21.

We invite you to play the course several times before you join and all green fees paid will be deducted from the joining fee.

of play. Caps are never permitted in the clubhouse.

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.

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.

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

you should – leave plenty or room for home-made bakewell tart, home-made fruit crumble or one of the other delicious alternatives.

The golf shop provides a comprehensive range of equipment as well as being able to arrange golf lessons and prizes. We can also organise longest drive and nearest the pin markers should you wish.

We are meticulous in our attention to detail and deliver the complete package that consistently exceeds the expectations of your visitors or guests.

Please contact our resident Head Professional Richard Hampton if you have not already made a provisional booking to check availability for the day you would like to visit us. And remember, if you make a booking for 16 or more players the organiser goes free.
