Published: Last updated:
This week we check out the pick of the 2-FORE!-1 crop of courses in the county of Hampshire. Don’t forget, if you’re in possession of a 2-FORE!-1 voucher you can tee it up at any of the venues below for half-price.
*Marriott Meon Valley – an impressive stay and play venue just outside Southampton. Plotted within over 225 acres of exquisite parkland, this Marriott country club is regarded as one of the leading golf venues in the South of England. Besides the outstanding 18 hole main Meon course, it also boasts a splendid nine hole layout as well as an on-site Marriott hotel comprising first-class facilities.
*Old Thorns – outstanding stay and play venue near Liphook. Fast greens and plenty of hazards make this a wonderful test of parkland golf.
*The Hampshire GC – excellent modern venue with top facilities. This rolling layout is set in 240 acres of rolling Hampshire countryside in the Test Valley and provides wonderful views.
*New Forest GC – short-but-sweet heathland layout but being located at Lyndhurst in the heart of the picturesque New Forest you would probably expect that.
*Hartley Wintney GC – long established par-71 parkland, usually in fine conditiion.
Macdonald Botley Park – splendid par-70 parkland layout backed-up by an on-site Macdonald hotel. Mature trees line many fairways while there are several water features too, including the 9th, 11th and 18th holes.
