The Hampshire Golf Club - Manor Course

Played the course quiet a few times over the years and fair to say it doesn't get any better, it's get worse!! Bunkers not raked, covered in stones with most having clumps of grass growing in them, greens are patchy covered in holes and the tee boxes aren't much better! For a course called The Hampshire you are thinking all singing all dancing but unfortunately not which is a shame as it's our local 18 hole course and for the sake of the extra 15min drive you can play Upavon, Tidworth or Test Valley which are much better value for money and in immaculate condition compared to the Hampshire!!

Can’t fault this golf course for winter golf after all the rain we have had past few months wouldn’t of none playing this course yes it’s a very basic golf course but for the money it’s hard to complain when all the other courses local to us are closed or not worth playing

its always been a safe bet for a reasonably priced round at a nice course, but Im afraid I was amazed by the conditions of some of the greens and particularly the tees... Some tees had some large areas of dusty soil between the yellow tees!? Lots of greens had holes in...and lacking grass (the summer isn't an excuse... other courses are fine) we started early and bunkers hadn't been raked. Clearly gone down hill

AND as for the members playing a club competition.. it seems they were exempt for basic golf etiquette, allowing countless groups to back up for their extreme slow play and not invite anyone through.

First time my friend and I had played this course, not far out from City of Winchester, in Hampshire, but it was quite a lovely experience. Easy walking on soft grass underfoot, greens were in very good condition. Maybe bit more sand needed in bunkers- only criticism. Views surrounding the Course were stunning. Will definitely go there again.

Got a Hot Deal for my first GolfNow booking, £15 which is peanuts for a course like this.

Course layout is great for those that like a little challenge, though getting to your next tee was sometimes confusing but the map on the scorecard easy fixes that.

There’s a putting green, chipping green, driving range and a 9 hole par 3! This course has it all, great all round!

Advantages:

Relatively open course that allows a generous tee-shot.

Very pleasant views from the hill tops.

Dry course, so probably playable all year round with plenty of ball-run.

Not too much in the way of hill-climbing, so OK for most 'Seniors'.

Great value for what I paid.

Disadvantages:

Greens are too firm and your ball is likely to bounce through, unless playing in with a very lofted club.

From what I could see, bunkers were often unraked.

This is a nice course with a challenging but forgiving layout. The greens and tees were well watered and the overall condition of the course is pretty good. This is a course where you can get at the holes but there are hazards to be aware of throughout.

Every time I’m down this way on a course I bring my clubs and pay the Hampshire a visit. Booking through a hot deal at only £10 it is amazing value for a very nice golf course. Even the standard £15 on tee off times is night and day against the other clubs trying to charge silly money.

If you are ever in the area and looking for somewhere to test your all round game, grab some food and get brillIant value for money then this place is your answer.

played this course today had been a lot of rain recently but only one green showed any sign of this.

The staff were very friendly and the course was a good but tricky layout some blind holes with no idea where to play ball on first visit but adds to the fun, found my way round not a problem using the signs.

would play again and probably will tomorrow.

Played this on a Saturday afternoon staff were very friendly and helpful. Course has improved alot since we last played it looking forward to the next time .

Very good course and well kept all I will say is all the groups out there seemed very close together so we felt a little rushed . But apart from that a good day out

Lovely course spoiled by lack of T L C to fairways and second cuts, divets not replaced.

Played course yesterday, Saturday 29th April, course layout very good with varying holes, lovely surroundings, very peaceful, millionaires golf as hardly anyone else on course, £15 round only spoilt by poor greens - very bumpy (had been top dressed recently) & I am sure with time & rain they will improve - I would play it again.

Lovely day out and lucky with weather.

Course in good condition but greens weren't in "pristine" green as slightly brown and had bear patches but were still fast

As always 3/4 and long par 5 14th were brilliant challenging holes

Overall one of the best courses in area as it matures with lots up and down hill walking involved with superb Hampshire views all around.

An absolutely stunning track, just a shame that the members and other players don't look after it!

Fairways were littered with divots and the greens covered in unrepaired pitch marks.

It's not difficult to make these repairs yourself, so it's down to laziness and complacency.

However for the time of year it was superb.
