Meon Valley Hotel & Country Club - Meon Course

First time playing this course and really enjoyed it.

Very slow play took 5 hours to play a round late in the afternoon with some groups maybe having a bit too much fun up ahead. However, course layout and condition were great. Greens were awesome. Only downfall for the course we're some of tee boxes for the par 3's were destroyed! Despite the slow play, I would give the course another go.

Course is definitely getting back to it's best in years, greens are superb, needs tidying up in a few places and this would be helped if people playing here, knew what a rake is and how to use one! Likewise with a pitch mark repairer, always have one in your pocket, not just for aesthetics but actually to use! Make an effort to repair at least yours, along with divots.....it makes for a better course, these are the basics, use them please.

Helpful pro shop, good driving range, and general practice facilities. Lovely peaceful course, surrounded by nature and a massive variety of trees. Some cracking holes, most differ from the last.....will be back soon.

Keep improving the place, it's really starting to get better.

The course itself is lovely, fairly well maintained, challenging design/layout but completely unmonitored by staff.

As visitors (2-ball) trying a new course, myself and my friend were looking forward to trying out Meon Valley.

Firstly I went to the ProShop, to which my tee time (at the course) vs what I reserved on GolfNow, we're different, nearly 30min difference, why? The person in the ProShop said GolfNow don't update their system, as if it wasn't their problem?

We approached the first tee and the hole was completely clear, we set off on our merry way, finished the first hole and headed to the 2nd... that was the start of everything going wrong.

4-ball in front, 2 buggies, all of whom were behaving obnoxiously, driving recklessly, loud shouting, wouldn't allow us, as 2-ball, to play through, zero etiquette, and playing terribly. (All 4 of them must have shot over 140 each, I appreciate that we're all different skill levels but don't shoot 5-10 over on every hole and not allow a smaller & faster group to play through, basic golf etiquette). In the time it would take us to tee off and finish a hole, they hadn't finished teeing off, and we were stood waiting for them for 15-25 minutes every single hole from the 3rd. We called the pro shop and there was no answer, no-one available to enforce club rules or correct etiquette. It took nearly 5 hours for the round!!

As if that wasn't bad enough another 4-ball caught up behind us by the 14th tee, we told them that we've been stuck behind the group in front all day, its been painful, we're heavily backed up so expect a slower round from here onwards. They then proceeded to hit x3 drives into us on the 16th and x2 on the 17th (2 of which were very close to hitting us in the head) whilst we're waiting for the group in front to move so we could play our second shot... zero apologies or even acknowledgement that they had put us in danger!

The standard of player on this course is abysmal and beyond entitled. In 20+ years of playing I have never had an experience such as the one I have had today, undoubtedly the worst and least enjoyable round on a course in my entire life, completely ruined what would have otherwise been an enjoyable course.

The course staff need to get their house in order and enforce the rules and acceptable behaviour expected of the course, disgraceful!

Would I play there again? Yes, only if the course was empty or if people with genuine etiquette, was on it.

Been a couple of years, since I played here, as it had been massively neglected.

Took the risk on a good tee price and wow very big changes!

Greens were a delight to putt and play on, ball held well, nice and soft in recent rains! In general the course was really looking and playing well, even better than it was 10 years back. Fair bit of hidden litter in places too... possibly from some of the many dog walkers that go through the course in various areas and paths.

The bunkers were a bit wet but still playable, just a shame people don't have the respect to leave them neat and tidy after being in them, so you don't have to battle the foot prints and more, it takes seconds, same as repairing pitch marks....I'm sorry but of you can't care for the course you're playing then go to the driving range....then you'll not have the hassle of looking after

the course.

Members aren't too chatty....passed a few but no response to a hello or such! Tough gig I guess...

Worth a visit, I salute the green staff for the changes here....well done....

Also gents in the shop were pleasant to chat with....thanks all, I'll return soon.

Staff in pro shop were friendly, green fees were great value due to it being a late afternoon round. The course especially the greens were in great condition. I find the front nine a little plain but the back Nine I think is better. Overall I would recommend, nice course but there are others around I enjoy more.

Nice to be back. Great course played well and would recommend course for anyone.

Excellent course with great greens, Payed £25 for 3PM which was a steal. Will be back for more golf.

First time playing there and can’t wait to return!

Greens were rapid, but pure. Lovely track with testing fairways…

Both time I have played this course it’s been quiet and felt like I have the course to myself. Some tricky greens that make it an very enjoyable round.

If you’re looking for an outstanding course, this is not it.

But it’s a fair course in nice surroundings.

Great course some challenging blind tee shots small greens best course played on this year. Unreal value to at £25 for after 3 tee time no one in front or behind

Despite having always been a hotel course don’t think that this is not a good challenge for your game. Tight holes and clever layout flatter to deceive. The course has received much investment and is playing well. It’s also a lovely peaceful course where there is minimal traffic noise and space to just enjoy t your round. Not too hilly the course offers a round which is challenging not too arduous. That being said the course is roughly arranged in two levels and those level changes do give rise to some wonderful feature holes and some blind ones. Look out for the 11th as most people focus on the 12th or the 17th. For me the hardest hole is the 16th. Good luck.

Very good Golf course well maintained,

some very nice holes would recommend to anybody it's a shame it's a 40 minute drive from my house otherwise I would join this club.

Definitely one of my favourite courses I've played Will be definitely be going back very soon

They rang me up 2 hours before we were ment to play to say they closed the course promised me a refund through golf now still waiting for that

the worst thing was the course was still available on golf now app with all the tee times

This is not a bad review of the course more this app

Half the course temporary greens with no indication from club house or staff.

Very very boggy and nearly all tees are off artificial matts.

Do not play until the summer and dry weather has arrived.

Driving range was closed for no obvious reason. Generally facilities looking very worse for wear with tennis courts in a state of disrepair. Investment needed in the course.

Some surprising holes with water didn't expect, well guarded greens with large bunkers.

Course not too hilly for older players

Should have been closed. Poor course conditions. Not worth the money.
