New Forest Golf Club

Stunning golf course in the heart of the New Forest in Hampshire. Largely open with a few clusters of trees but hardly anywhere to actually lose a ball. Beautiful scenery and 18 great holes!

Warning: wild horses on the course may impact which tee box you can use. Had to play from the reds for 2 holes because we didn't fancy fighting 3 horses for the yellow teebox xD course layout is confusing for first and second timers as they're limited on the amount of signage they can use but there's a handy little map on the scorecard! Amazing day out and can't wait to play again!

Fantastic course for beginners, very forgiven, wide open fairways, no rough as the horses keep it down ( didn't lose a single ball) great location in the new forest, greens in great condition and the weather was perfect for golf.

Good value £34 with golf now.

Will go again

New Forest Golf Club is in a unique setting, ponies roaming the course (which was a nice novelty), friendly staff, a traditional clubhouse, and good trolley hire. The course is fairly straightforward, but the fairways were often difficult to distinguish and the greens were not in great condition. The dry ground made it quite unforgiving, so you had to strike the ball cleanly. Overall, it was adequate, but I didn’t feel it offered the best value for money and probably wouldn’t play there again.

Played this on a weekend of the wettest of weathers.

5 holes were closed andthere were a couple of temporary greens and understandably some tee mats. However we played had a lot of fun and were made to feel very welcome. The course permitted us to play additions holes to make up for those closed.

Overall - given the weekend was so wet. I was keen to play and I was a visitor I can’t fault it.

Will return when a bit drier to ensure I can try the other holes and to see if the lack of a 3 club wind makes my score any better.

Lovely traditional style course, could definitely do with better signage for each hole, was hard to find the right tees. One very rude elderly member spoiled our round hurling insults as we struggled to find the next tees, weren't friendly at all. Otherwise great underrated course!

Considering recent weather and amount of rain that has fallen arrived to find course fully open with only two temporary greens. Other local courses had sections closed and more temporary greens. Staff were welcoming and advised on tees and layout. Pace of play good, no hold ups. Fairways playable and not to muddy. Greens were cut and playes very well, quite quick on certain holes. 18 holes completed in just about 3 hours 20 minutes and equipment just needed a quick wipe befire putting in car. Sunny day and playing well made tgis a good visit.

Dry weather recently made the course virtually impossible. Very open with rock hard tight lies. Green were small, average and impossible to hold shots on. Course is short and definitely aiming at societies, mid to high handicappers. Wasn’t fun due to the nature of the course. Lovely wild horses roaming about but the golf wasn’t fun. Tee boxes were struggling, a lot were just piles of sand! Won’t be rushing back at £40. £20 a maybe

Lovely game of golf, great staff, greens in good nick.

We often play at this course as it is central to our home locations. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

There was a match on yesterday and so the car park was rammed (additional parking available near the main road with a walk back to the clubhouse - lots of cones around as the beer lorry was due in).

We had a good round but slower than normal due to the competition ahead if us.

The ground is getting very hard in places and so the shots were travelling more than usual.

Beer is always good after a round.

Have played this course a number of times and always enjoyed it.

There is a real mix of challenging and interesting holes. It's a real Forest course, with ponies wandering everywhere, which I personally think adds so much to the character of the course.

The fairways were slightly patchy in places but the greens were good and fast.

The staff are so friendly and helpful. I really enjoy playing there and would definitely recommend it.

Holes pretty close together otherwise a nice course

Nice course greens in good shape friendly pro shop and club house would recommend

Course looked after albeit a natural course in the forest, lovely scenery and lovely weather that always helps. Staff and other golfers really friendly, clubhouse does a nice breakfast and good selection of drinks.

Unfortunately, we were caught behind a seniors match which was desperately slow 🐌. On the positive side, weather was great, greens were very good and the Guinness was superb 👌

Quite an open course, mid handicappers can score some decent points with the layout and around 5 par 3 holes.

Enjoyable day apart from the rain. Would return.

We had a good day out here - the course is in a great location and I think in peak condition would be an excellent round of golf.

We were perhaps slightly unfortunate that there was a lot of course maintenance going on and therefore many temporary greens in play. There were also a lot of winter tees being used which were mats and not grass.

I suspect if we came back in a months time, it would be a really good course to play and definitely worth a visit!
