The Hampshire Golf Club - Manor Course

The Hampshire is a very good course to play when the weather turns wetter. It’s probably one of only a few to remain fully open in the mid / south Hampshire area. Due to this it can become busy at weekends. With a noon T, we were hoping to get round (4 ball) before dark - and just made it due to some slow play in front that bunched up the groups. The rain set in & the last 4 holes were played in continuous rain. Overall good experience

Don’t play, only given 1 star for the wonderful views whilst walking. Greedy owners had over booked the tee times at every 4 minutes, we were 25 minutes late teeing off as a result. Should be £10-20 to play this course maximum. Very disappointing. Putting in the car park would be an improvement from the greens. Tee boxes a mess, bunkers look like they have cheap builders sand in them. Fairways have had no attempt at filling in divots or animal damage. The 13th green has been a temp for some time now which evidences the lack of a willingness to invest in the course.

First time I played and welcoming friendly people playing here and nice pint afterwards in the bar. Course in good condition. Enjoyable course and a good team there.

Even with all the rain we have had the course was manly dry and no standing water. The greens are really good for this time of year

Played this course many times over the years, always enjoyed the layout and condition. Until I returned to play on 26/10/2025. Hardly recognisable, tee boxes are a mess and all 18 greens are damaged. Such a shame, would not return unless something drastic happened to turn this course around

We played Hampshire Golf Club last year and were genuinely impressed — the layout was brilliant and it felt like a course with real potential. Fast forward to this visit and it’s honestly unrecognisable for all the wrong reasons.

The tee boxes are in terrible condition — battered, uneven, and clearly not maintained. The greens are even worse: slow, patchy, uncut, unrolled, and generally looking like they’ve been forgotten entirely. Bunkers are either completely overgrown or have just been left to disappear altogether.

The disappointment doesn’t stop on the course, either. The clubhouse facilities are extremely poor, with very basic food and drink options — including out-of-date sausage rolls, which says it all about the attention to detail.

Such a shame, because the course layout itself is still great and with proper care it could be something again. But right now, it would take a huge amount of work to bring it back.

Would not recommend it to anyone travelling or paying full price — save your money and play elsewhere.

Visited here for the second time just to confirm that my first opinion wasn't inaccurate, sadly it was, subsequently there won't be another visit.

To cut to the chase the course is in dismal condition, which is a bit of a shame as the course layout is really good and the potential of the venue to be really good is there for all to see.

Unfortunately the arrogant and argumentative ownership don't seem to have the same view or any intention of maintaining the course or improving it.

Every single person I met on both my visits, including the one or two staff I spoke too, said the same thing.

The condition of the tee boxes and the greens in general is probably one of the worst I've seen in many many years and the bunkers are simply terribly neglected, but what can you expect when there are only two green keepers for a 27 hole complex.

To put it bluntly just go to the driving range instead.. you'll only regret wasting your time and money here.

Like the title.. it’s such a shame as the course condition is terrible.. 2 green keepers for such large set up is scandalous.. owner needs to sell and leave it to people who know what they’re doing, but he won’t. DONT SUPPORT THIS COURSE.

Really Good course for Beginner to intermediate golfer. The staffs are friendly and helpful.

This is a decent golf course, fairways are wide and its very forgiving. Greens and tee boxes arent in fantastic condition right now but very happy with the price.

Plays well and has some nice variation of holes.

There is currently a temporary hole on the 13th because badgers have been tearing up. The green, I was told about this at the course reception and it did not put a downer on my round.

All in all definitely worth a visit. Very friendly staff and a forgiving course.

Excellent cause, friendly staff and the owner takes the time to introduce himself. Great value per round or though a flex membership

The course layout is great, the staff are so friendly and helpful. The thing that lets the course down is maintenance.

They have a crow issue and they cause damage to the greens, which I understand is hard to deal with… but the green really do need some work; new cups and flags are a must. The cups are worn out and the flags are leaning against the edge of the hole, sometimes taking a chunk out of the hole. The cups have been in the same place for so long it’s starting to crown, making an already had green to putt on even worse. The hole has grass growing over them - an indication they haven’t been tended to for some time.

Some aeration and spraying pesticide to kill off the bugs would definitely help towards better greens and stopping the crows from pecking the greens to death.

Some bunkers have some orange building type sand in, no change in using a club in those…

This club has so much promise but lack of maintenance lets it down.

Lovely views from elevated tees.

All tee boxes are destroyed. No grass or false surface to play off. Just grit and sand surface.

Greens under attack by crows. Skirt of greens torn up too!

Temp greens completely inadequate with the flag poorly (not staked) and not being visible on approach.

Significantly deteriorated since last playing it a few weeks earlier.

So much potential but it is clearly inadequately maintained. Expensive for the condition.

Wish I’d taken photos to post here.
