Carden Park is a Jack Nicklaus and Steve Nicklaus co-design. It is the first co-design in the world by Jack and Steve. Jack himself describes the 'Nicklaus Course' at this spectacular hotel near Chester, as 'a thinking man's course' because of the options it provides off the tee and from the fairway.

Carden Park has a choice of five tees on every hole and measures up to 7,045 yards from the back tees. It is set in superb rolling parkland with majestic mature oak trees and trademark bunkering, mounding and water features.

It is also home to Europe's first Jack Nicklaus Residential Golf School where players of all abilities can improve their game using methods tried and tested.

"There are several double option fairways within the Carden course. I like 'option' golf courses where players have to really think about what they are going to do next." - Jack Nicklaus
