Chilwell Manor Golf Club is one of the standout golf clubs in the area. For many golfers, it sits in a useful middle ground. It is established and traditional enough to feel like a proper members’ club, but it is also a venue that visitors, societies and local golfers regularly research when comparing where to play.
If you are trying to understand whether Chilwell Manor is right for you, the key questions are usually quite simple. What is the course actually like? How much does it cost to play or join? What practice facilities are available? And how does it compare with other local golf options in Nottinghamshire?
This guide brings those questions together in one place. It covers the course, scorecard, green fees, membership routes, practice setup, visitor information and the supporting articles in this series.
What Kind of Golf Club Is Chilwell Manor?
Chilwell Manor Golf Club is an 18-hole golf club in Chilwell, near Beeston, Nottingham. The club describes the course as established in 1906 and designed by Tom Williamson, with tree-lined fairways, strategically placed bunkers and USGA specification greens.
That gives a good first impression of what the club is trying to offer. This is not marketed as a modern resort or a huge destination complex. The appeal is more about a well-established golf setting, a recognisable local identity, and a course that rewards control and sensible course management.
From a local golfer’s point of view, that matters. Many players in the Nottingham area are not only choosing a golf course. They are choosing the kind of club environment they want to be part of.
The Course at a Glance
According to the club’s published course information, Chilwell Manor measures 6,233 yards and plays to par 70 from the men’s card, while the ladies’ course is listed at 5,518 yards and par 73.
That immediately suggests a course that should be playable for a wide range of handicaps without being soft. It is not purely a brute-force test of length. Instead, the challenge is likely to come from positioning, tree-lined playing corridors, green complexes and the quality of the putting surfaces.

Scorecard and Layout
The scorecard matters because it shapes expectations before you even arrive. Yardage, par and stroke indexes help you understand whether the course is likely to feel long, strategic, scoreable, or punishing from your chosen tees.
For a closer look at that side of the club, including how to interpret the numbers and what they suggest about the layout, see Chilwell Manor Golf Club Scorecard and Course Layout.
Green Fees and Visitor Information
For visitors, one of the main reasons to research Chilwell Manor is straightforward: cost. The club’s current Green Fees 2025–2026 page lists weekday and weekend visitor rounds at £25, with reduced rates shown for member guests, county card holders, students and juniors.
That makes the club relevant for more than just members. It gives local golfers another playable course option when they want a casual round, a society day, or a comparison round against other clubs in the area.

Membership Options
Chilwell Manor also has a broad membership structure. The live membership page lists 7-day, 6-day and 5-day categories, junior options and staged age-based memberships. The club also promotes a flexible membership scheme aimed at golfers who want club access and a handicap without the commitment of full unlimited membership.
That flexibility is useful because many golfers now play in a more mixed way. They might split time between club golf, casual rounds, indoor practice and coaching.

Practice Facilities and Lessons
Practice and coaching access can matter just as much as the course itself. Chilwell Manor references a practice ground, putting green, practice nets and coaching through its PGA professionals. The club’s junior and coaching information also points to wider community and development use of the practice area.

Reviews and Reputation
One of the most useful ways to assess a golf club is to look for repeated themes in what golfers say. At Chilwell Manor, the feedback highlighted publicly by the club repeatedly points toward course condition, greens, friendliness and welcome.

History and Identity
Chilwell Manor has deeper roots than many golfers realise. The club history pages explain that it was formed in 1906, originally as a nine-hole course, and that the Manor House gave the club its name.
That history still matters because it shapes how the club presents itself today. There is a clear emphasis on continuity, tradition and a long-standing role in the local golf landscape.

Open Competitions and Club Events
