Meon Valley Hotel & Country Club - Valley Course

Fairways hadn't been cut for seemingly a few weeks, and they hadn't cleared the grass cuttings from the previous cut, so balls were lost in the middle of the fairway on multiple holes.

Greens had dirt patches not marked as GUR.

Pace of play was poor, stuck behind a two ball sharing clubs, vaping and chatting whilst stood around the green.

Booked the nine hole to be told on the day that we cant play the 9 because its closed so had to play the back 6 this was the only disappointment not to be told anything before booking shouldnt of been charged for 9 if could only play 6..

Is very well kept all year round. Only one temporary green atm that wasn’t communicated with us. But that’s fine it’s winter. It’s what you expect from time to time.

The course could do with giving more time between tee offs/ bookings.

Charming challeging nine hole course with 3 x Par 3 2 x Par 5 and 4 x Par 4. Tees, greens and fairways are excellent value for the green fee. My only critism is litter. Not Meon's fault, pesky litter bugs, but I think there is only one litter bin on the 1st tee.

Very well designed and testing 9 holes, always well looked after. Only criticism is the tees were a bit worse for wear and not level

Course layout and more signs as to where the next holes are could be better. Other than that, well kept course.

AVOID AVOID AVOID.

MV come under the ‘Elite Venues Selection’ which is a trading name of Britannia Hotels… consistently rated as one of the worst U.K. hotel chains. This alone should be enough to put you off.

Having played golf many times on their 9 hole course which represented ok value for a quick round on a 1/2 decent course, I booked a round on their website for £12 to be paid on arrival.

On arrival after a 25mins drive, they told me the online price was wrong and I needed to pay more (against Trades Description Act). I declined the round and instead used their driving range. I emailed their Customer Service team who quickly realised they’d made an error & the frustration caused and saved the situation by offering me a free 4-ball for the 9 hole course.

I gratefully accepted.

Then… within 24 hours, they rescinded the offer after, ‘advice from management’. I was surprised at this and asked them to elaborate. Now, more than 2 weeks later, they’ve not responded.

With this level of service for 9 holes of golf, I can only imagine the rubbish served up to hotel guests. I won’t return again when there are many better local golf options at a similar price to what they wanted to charge me.

Decent 9 hole course with a par 5 within it. Condition of course was average, tee boxes not in good order (why is is so difficult to get a tee box level?), but an enjoyable round when you don't have time for a full 18 holes.

Due to timings not being adhered to and no policing the course, there were far too many people there not on the times booked. We arrived at 10:10 for our 10:12 tee time to find a queue of people waiting to tee off. This resulted in 6 groups of 2 waiting for 10-15 minutes per tee box waiting to play. A round of 9 holes then took 3 and a half hours. Temptation to no longer play this course as it always seems to be like this but never this bad!

this is a short 9 hole course tucked away in the corner of the complex. very narrow holes and if you spray the ball it will be gone (im 3hcp and lost a few with fairly straight tee shots). good for a hack around but i dont see people paying 15-17 GBP to play 9 holes here? we basically had to play gimme circles on the greens as they arent in the best shape. i understand they have a proper 18 hole course, which is great, but this 9 hole either needs work, or needs to be cheaper.
