The Hampshire Golf Club - Manor Course

Some bunkers have been removed however the ones that are left are plush and soft. Greens are running great and staff are brilliant.

Great welcome and the music at reception is great, loved it

After the recent beating by the weather this year the course is in quite good condition and still able to be open when most are closed, played there many times and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Julia is always very nice and polite. one review criticised what she was wearing, that makes no difference to her being able to do her job. if that is your problem it's better for you not to come back.

The course is on a chalk base which is a huge advantage in the current relentless wet weather we have at the moment. All of the courses in Gloucestershire have been shut for weeks so it is a real asset that this club is always open.

However while the course is open, the temp tee boxes are just mud, the bunkers are all GUR which I assumed would be because of the weather but actually they were all either overgrown, empty or filled with gravel.

The greens were awful but in fairness the weather has been bad. None were true and it felt like pot luck whether or not the ball followed the correct line.

While the lady at check in was very pleasant the gentleman who I assume was the owner was not very friendly and everything felt like an effort and inconvenience for him.

Overall main advantages are that the course can handle the weather and there are some nice holes, a good mix of long holes and short holes, some great views.

The main disadvantages are that course is not kept very well. It has the potential to be brilliant but with no active bunkers and no water hazards it offers little excitement.

Not played course for 8 years and apart from greens everything else has deteriated, to the point that it needs a bit of investment and tlc to restore it to a half decent course but don't hold your breath.

Considering the amount of rain conditions were amazing good fun

Great layout, greens was good wet in places but overall good for the time of year. Had good roll for this time of year, drive 3 of the par 4s so that was nice. Would definitely go back again in the summer.

I used to play here a lot and even worked in the pronahop in the early 2000s and very sad to see what has become of this course

Couldn't use the range before we played as they hadn't collected any balls from the range

Pro shop was empty

The lady working in the shop looked like she was dressed for a night out in a low cut top, and very short leather hot pants. Very odd... Genuinely think she may have still been wearing the clothes from the night before.

The course.... Tee boxes were in dreadfull condition, scrap metal for tee markers, greens bobbly, diseased, many pitch marks. And the bunkers!! No sand in them, just compact mud/old sand and weeds. No rakes in any of the bunkers.

Really sad to see this course be so neglected.

When we arrived, told we couldn't use the driving range as they hadn't collected any balls yet (it was 9am on a Saturday)

Course is a good layout but the condition is one of the poorest I've seen. Fairways are ok, but tee boxes are churned up, bumpy, not flat and the tee markers themselves are like scrap metal.

But the biggest issue was the bunkers, no sand, full of weeds, and no rakes in any of them

Greens were infected, and generally very bad condition

Pro shop is empty, nothing there

Has potential.

Greens some damage.

Bunkers poor

Fairways good

Tees good

Wide fairways

Improve bunkers and greens, grow up the rough and will be a good course

We booked a round here as our course in Southampton had been closed due to water logging for a few days. This course is on chalk and there was no sign of standing water. Quite hilly, very open, some long par fours and a couple of tricky 2 tier greens.

We had a very enjoyable round.

This course could be so much more, ruined by uneven disease ravaged and pitch mark littered greens

Played here many times and always enjoyed it but today we were treated pretty poorly in the club shop. We were told we couldn’t play the full 18 as we were on the hot deal and that only means up to 18 holes, which isn’t true at all. Felt like they didn’t really want us there unless we paid full green fees, which is fine, because we won’t be going back.

Owner seems to hate golf now players, even if you played dozens of times before, really terrible attitude, talked himself out of selling a buggy and other bits today just from the rude attitude, lied about closing time and golf now policy, saying he doesnt have to let you play 18, wont ever be going back, 100s of other courses 🤷🏻‍♂️

Besides that, the couse always used to be ok, has great potential, just going downhill all the time, bunkers are always in awful condition, some even just being filled with dirt now just because they cant be bothered to maintain the place, all just more reflection on the owner, shame really.

Great course, challenging in some areas

Shame the bookers have bushes growing out of them lol

green were good, but some of the pin placements were questionable.

Fairways lacked attention, whilst the punkers were in very poor shape.
