The Hampshire Golf Club - Manor 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.

A course in rolling Hampshure countryside, wide fairways and some challenging holes.We walked the course but may utilise a Buggy next time!!

Lovely course, on the whole we'll signed between holes. Greens good, fast too. Such a shame bunkers were in unplayable condition... didn't interfere with our game though. Love to have another go... competitive prices so why not! Staff helpful and friendly.

Course was in good condition however the first cut from the fairways was a bit long and if your golf ball settled down it was a bit difficult to find.

Stuck behind 2 ball from the 4the hole onwards who wouldn’t allow me to play through. One of them was a new starter so playing really slow. Spoiled the occasion

Staff very friendly

Turned up and went to the Pro office and was met by a gentlemen who was very helpful and friendly. He told us the fairway bunkers were GUR but the greens bunkers were in play. So no surprises when we played.

The course is ok lacking in features except for a couple of holes 4th and 15th. Overall it needs a fair amount of investment to bring it up to be a good course. Everything seemed tired. Views are stunning and not a bad layout to course just needs some money being spent and ground staff to be upgraded!!

All in all for £22.00 a round at 12:15 I cant really complain.

My 3rd time on The Hampshire and nothing seems to change. Aside from new flag sticks and tee signs they seem to invest little in the course.

The main issue remains the bunkers. ALL fairway bunkers have been declared GUR, but greenside ones are in play. However none of the bunkers are really playable. Very little sand and full of stones. How hard is it to rake all the stones out and get several tonnes of sand in? Give me the tools and materials and I'll do it in return for lifetime 7 day membership.

Interesting course, some really nice holes and well looked after!

Julia in the bar and club shop is a delight!

A good course that needs some love and care. The bunkers need some attention but overall a good course to play.
