The Hampshire Golf Club - Manor Course

It’s disappointing to see the current condition of this golf course, which clearly shows signs of long-term neglect.

The pro shop is virtually empty, offering little more than a few packs of tees, q poor first impression for any visitor. The driving range mats are heavily worn and well past the point of needing replacement, which makes for a frustrating experience.

On the course itself, maintenance appears to be almost nonexistent. The tee boxes are bare, with little to no grass coverage. Fairways are overrun with moss, weeds, and patchy turf, offering inconsistent lies throughout. The greens are in poor condition, pockmarked with holes, likely caused by birds or other animals which severely affects putting quality.

It’s also clear that a number of bunkers have been removed, presumably to cut maintenance costs. The few that remain are in unacceptable condition, resembling hardpan with a thin layer of dusty, poor-quality sand. Some even contain weeds and stones, posing a risk to clubs and player safety.

At £35 a round, the pricing is completely misaligned with the quality of the course and facilities. In its current state, this venue does not offer value for money.

It’s unfortunate, but the lack of reinvestment is evident the course feels abandoned, with the focus seemingly placed on revenue rather than upkeep. With proper care and investment, this could be a good local course again. As it stands, however, it falls far short of even basic expectations.

Very cheap - but only played 9 holes.

If you’re looking for a cheap round, course in okay condition but not that interesting.

Some of the greens were fine, but others covered in green debris - little dug up holes (not divots, maybe animal damage) but on most holes.

Wonderful conditions; greens hadn’t been cut so slow but overall highly enjoyable and recommended

Have played here quite a few times under what I believe to be many different ‘owners’.

Really could be a great course as has an interesting variety of holes, stunning views and drains exceptionally well.

However, I will not be returning any time soon! The guy who seemed to be in charge was friendly, but despite claiming to have 40 years experience in golf, he was clueless about many things and was spouting nonsense regarding rules around Golf Now bookings.

Every fairway could do with a cut, and most greens were ruined by birds pecking holes.

Sadly, it wouldn’t surprise me if the course is closed this time next year. Hopefully someone with a bit of proper experience, knowledge and money comes in and saves it.

Played this course many years ago and it could do with some TLC if being honest. The layout hasn't changed much since those early days and a lot of the greens are a bit damaged.

That being said £20 is good value for what is a decently challenging and long course that can get very tricky with some wind.

Course is beautiful but can be long between holes. Greens are hard to read for me but they are very good. Would definitely play again and would get a buggy

I have played this course many times and I have to say the course is heading in the right direction, the greens a couple of months ago were absolutely shocking but they are now on the up and getting much better, they are fast as well which can catch you out at times.

Value for money is after 10 in the morning as the price drops from £35 to £27, there is a bar at the 19th which is needed as the back nine is quite hilly but some great views of the surrounding areas. The driving range for me is over priced at £5 for a small bucket and £10 for a large one.

First time playing this course and will 100% be the last. Horrendously kept course, more weed and grass on most fairways. Absolute ripoff for £35! The course wasn’t managed well as we were held up by a 6 ball for the front 9.

Only bonus was the owner/staff were very friendly and chatty at the end of the round.

Course was in great condition. Surprisingly empty for an Easter Sunday.

Super course and lots of challenging holes. Quite long so good for big drivers. However greens are pretty poor condition, fix that and this a great course. Very good value for money.

I've played this course a good few times and it's always OK, but the condition of the fairways and greens are extremely poor. The lack of investment is clearly in the course is showing which is a shame. In the right hands this has the potential to be a decent course.

I would avoid at all cost!

The course was in amazing condition. Empty also. I was surprised not now people were playing. Great value. I will be back.

The course was in a generally good condition apart from the greens, a lot of which were a bit hard and bumpy. Ironically, given it is only March, the course could do with being watered.

Dreadful, Dreadful, Dreadful, Dreadful. Don’t waste your time, course is in dreadful state as has been the case on all of my visits. Clearly no investment is made in improving the greens. Should cost no more than £10 to play here, such a shame to see a course fall into this state.
