Nicklaus Signature Course
Nicklaus Signature Course
The Nicklaus Signature Course opened for play in 1988 and is amongst the finest golf courses in Europe and certainly one of the most famous. The course was also the first European golf course personally designed by Jack Nicklaus. It opened to rave reviews with Nicklaus himself being quoted "I knew it was going to be good but not this good". It was certainly good enough to host the B & H International Open for a number of years with Olazabal, Langer and Ballesteros amongst the winners.
We were delighted to welcome back European Tour Golf in 2022, hosting The British Challenge presented by Modest! Golf Management. The event returns once again this year ~ Thursday 3rd until Sunday 6th August 2023.
One of the most popular "Bucket List" golf courses
The course has 18 outstanding holes and measures just over 6,200 yards so even for the higher handicapper or shorter hitter is a pleasure to play. Nicklaus even created his own version of Amen Corner with the 10th, 11th & 12th holes a real highlight of an extra-ordinary golf course.
Being one of the most popular "Bucket List" golf courses in the UK, with several unique water hazards, cleverly-placed bunkers, and sheer design genius, you will be able to "follow in the footsteps" of some of golf's true legends who have graced its fairways (and rough) which cannot fail to inspire you to play some great golf.

This was followed by two further tournaments as it played host to theTournament Players Championship, which included a win for Bernhard Langer in 1983.
