Stunning course

Superb course for a relatively low price in modern day golf. Having to worry about potentially hitting some roaming horses really sums up how raw this course is. And yet the ground conditions were great everywhere, especially the greens. Very tricky course putting anyone’s skills to the test, but no matter how much it catches you out you can’t help but love it. Definitely be playing here again for many years to come.

Don’t play forest course

Played the forest course, didn’t expect the world but wasn’t good. Understand it’s a forest course but £36 for that is a robbery.

HORRENDOUS! Don’t waste your money!

I cannot put into words how poor this place is.

From the miserable clubhouse pro behind the till to the course layout and condition.

This is nothing more than some semi manicured greens placed in the middle of fields. In fact they have ruined the new forest countryside with this poor excuse for a golf course.

It is the worst course I have played worldwide in the last 20 years. To pay £35 to play somewhere and not even be able to tell whether you have hit fairway or rough is unacceptable.

Save yourself £35 and go to your local field it will be better.

Great value for money

A quirky course in the New Forest. Greens were in excellent condition considering the various animals that wander around.

A minor criticism is the lack of signage. There is a need for signs indicating where the next Tee is and also the hole layout.

The signs are on tee box giving yardage etc but the layout should also be added in my opinion

Not what we were expecting

Just some tee boxes and greens in the middle of the new forest. It’s okay if you want to take the dog for a walk while you play golf but you can’t tell where you’re going because you can’t tell where the fairway ends and the rough begins!!

The manor course looks nice but is also very pricey for what it is!

No fairways

Fairways none existent trampled by wild life and covered in horse faeces, which meant playing the ball as it lie’s impossible.

The layout of the holes were very good and all greens are protected by some sort of stream or water hazard.

The green were in ok condition but had recently been punched in high jade putting difficult.

We had the first tee time of the day yet there was people out in front of us somehow.

The pro shop wasn’t open upon arrival so we checked in about 2 minutes before our tee time.

We then had to drive half a mile up the road to the first tee where there was no facilities to warm up on.

Overall I feel this would be a totally different course to play in the summer but as a winter golf course it isn’t great.

Forest Course

The course is always well maintained. Greens in good condition. Deer, Horses, Cattle & Pigs add to the challenging nature of this course. Always one of my favourite places to play.

Quirky course

A really fun course to play in the New Forest. Holes are laid out among the natural forest boundaries and the wildlife is there in abundance. Greens are really good (some fenced off to keep animals off) and fairways are good but be careful where you step as there is dung everywhere. Some really quirky holes which make the course a pleasure to play. Friendly staff and good facilities at the main clubhouse but nothing at the Forest Course itself. Very competitive price and a good fun round if you’re in the area

Open your shoulders course with small greens

Like this course as when you are coming back from a long lay off, it helps build confidence as very open. However the small greens and tricky location of them can balance it out. Some holes are stunning and as it's in New Forest you get to see horses although be careful where you step!

It is a nice course and fairways may not be what you are use to but take it for what it is. Excellent value for money and a reasonable challenge. My playing partners always enjoy playing here which tells you it is a good course!

Not worth the money

When I booked online, for 3 of us, being charge £33 per person expecting the course on tip top condition, realise it forest course, literally playing in the forest, the fair ways well if can call that, we’re disgrace, green we’re great either , so disappointed with paying that kind money, expecting so much more, definitely not worth the money!

Horrendous!

There’s horse droppings everywhere, even on some of the greens. Others are fenced off to keep the animals out but are really off putting. The fairways are a shambles and the icing on the cake was the cricket club next door blearing music and shouting down a tannoy for the entire round, which can be heard from every hole. To charge £27 to play here is scandalous! Save your money and play a proper course.

Lovely course

Lovely greens and some superb golf holes. Some very wide open spaces and also a few very tough drives and approaches. Lots of ditches around the course that you cannot see.

Tricky greens to hit

Nice layout but needs more signs to show you layout. Ie played what we thought was 15 but ended up on 13 green again. Lots of nice shots into greens over streams .Greens ran true

Great fun playing around the horses .

Think we will enjoy it more next time now we know where to lay up and what danger is around greens ie slope running down to green

On one hole with water at back or can’t see stream in front on couple that caught us out .
