Few golfing venues in Europe blend the old and new as successfully as historic Hanbury Manor. The "old" is the magnificent estate itself, which since the 19th century has featured a Jacobean–style mansion and included a nine-hole parkland course designed by the legendary Harry Vardon. The "new" is the 18 holes of championship golf redesigned by Jack Nicklaus on the original Vardon course that winds through ancient trees and picturesque water hazards.

In April 2010 the new Lingfield Park Marriott Hotel & Country Club opens and will incorporate a new club house, pro–shop, changing facilities and golf lounge for members and residents alike.
