Flora and Fauna

Manor House Golf Club isn't just a stunning golf course, it offers so much more in its diverse range of wildlife and habitats. It really is Dolittle country!

Over 100 species of wildflower

On the limestone grassland you will find over one hundred species of wildflower, including early purple orchids, cowslips, ox-eye daisy and horseshoe vetch (where you might just spot a Chalkhill Blue, an extremely rare species of butterfly!)

More wildlife than Toad Hall

In amongst our large expanse of Ancient Woodland you will find Roe and Muntjack Deer, Badgers, Foxes, Kingfishers and Great Woodpeckers. Look to the skies and you will see Buzzards, Sparrowhawk and Kestrels.

Thriving lakes

If you are unfortunate enough to find your ball resting next to one of the lakes on the 6th, 12th or 18th holes, look out for the coots, moorhen, ducks and heron which nestle amongst the reeds.

Mature woodland

Castle Wood is composed mainly of mature Ash, Oak and Field Maple. The Maples are of exceptional size, constituting a notable feature. There are also several Elm trees and mature Holly trees.

The shrub layer includes Willow, Hazel, Elder, Spindle and Hawthorn. The ground flora includes ancient woodland indicator plants such as Wood Anemone, Encanters Nightshade and Violets.
