On an overnight golf trip (to Silloth/Brampton) and discussing, as you do, chipping greens…

Friend says Cumberwell Park is good? Otherwise we’re stuck on the usuals eg Woodhall Spa and Woburn. Personal favourite is Lumine where Q School is

Easy to remember the putting green but can hardly picture many chipping greens?

Brocket Halls little complex in front of the range is good

the new set up at Woburn is excellent

The new ones at Dundonald will be great when they've bedded in a little. Directly behind us was another one with several pot bunkers to practice out of as well.
 
The newer courses round here all seem to have them, the older ones not so much
The local course (Mont Choisy) is only 3 years old, so practice of all kinds is well catered for; plenty space for the range, 2 large putting greens and a pretty large practice green for chipping/bunker stuff (I really miss popping up there just now (covid)
 
Obvious answer:
Every Open or European Tour venue I've seen has a super collection of chipping greens.

Outside the box answer:
1. Northwick Park (not been there for a long time but this used to be world class)
2. Old Fold Manor
 
Kedleston Park Golf Club - we've got 4 chipping greens, on of which (the main one) has a couple of bunkers, including one which is suitable for wheelchair golfers to access.

...and of course Augusta looks pretty decent
 
Bit random but Kenilworth Golf Club as a small place in Warwickshire. Actually has a couple of playable bunkers (although it's been a while), plenty of room around green and undulations as well as just being by 1st tee so you sort of naturally navigated from putting, to net, to chipping green. Also has a small 6 hole par 3 course. Potentially could be a slightly sharper green, and doubt it's up there with Woburn but I thought it always did the trick for quite a normal course and probably why they had decent juniors.

Don't seem to find many courses with practice facilities so close to clubhouse or not chipping over a path (e.g. the Warwickshire). Practice field in fairness is a bit further away.
