Bearwood Lakes Golf Day: A Premier Networking and Brand Promotion Event Bearwood Lakes recently hosted an exceptional golf day event that not only showcased the stunning course but also served as a prime opportunity for business owners and golf enthusiasts to connect, network, and foster meaningful business relationships.

The day kicked off with breakfast, with participants enjoying lively discussions and watching coverage of the Masters build up in the sports bar during breakfast. This set the tone for a day filled with not just exceptional golf but also significant networking opportunities. The event seamlessly transitioned into a more intimate setting for the meal in a private area of the restaurant, where attendees could engage in deeper conversations and business discussions. A particularly thoughtful touch was the personalized towels given to each player post-golf, which was very well received and appreciated by all. Such details contributed to the overall exceptional experience of the day.

We look forward to welcoming new and returning guests to future events.

Beautiful golf course laid out in fabulous grounds. Very spacious club house with pleasant staff offering a good variety of food and drink to members and visitors. Popular venue for corporate and wedding events.

Super golf course. Struggles a bit Dec though Feb but the rest of the years it’s simply stunning

Lovely tough course. In good condition, see photos. Lunch and dinner menus were very good. We found it expensive and renting a rake for the bunkers was a bit of a joke. Glad we played it, ticked off the list.

A lovely Sunday dinner, excellent quality ingredients, very tasty, and all for a reasonable price. Definitely worth a visit! We also went another day and just had a cup of tea, they also do coffee and a delicious selection of cakes to choose from. Oh, and Rays ice-cream is spot on too, and I can recommend the chocolate and salted caramel variety.

Had my first experience in the restaurant tonight. Firstly, The service was absolutely impeccable. Staff were extremely attentive and so friendly. Food was amazing, lovely atmosphere and tastefully decorated restaurant. Will definitely return. Thank you for a lovely evening 😊

There is a venue room available on ground floor for small gathering. I did birthday decorations for my client & the room Itself is beautiful. Also restaurant is with lovely ambience. Car park is free & lots of parking spaces are available. See the photos from my event.

Loved the course. Great condition. Wide fairways, excellent greens, stunning views despite a heavily overcast and damp day. Clubhouse welcoming. I would love to be a member if I lived out that way. You will not be disappointed. There were no photos as the weather was unfortunately very poor today.

A good course with some long holes, especially when the wind blows and a few picturesque holes. The greens were tricky with a variety of subtle and not so subtle breaks. It was very dry given the amount of rain there had been prior to the round. I'd like to play it again in the Summer.

Cannot praise this course high enough played on the last two days (November 2024) the fairways were good & the greens were excellent, the course is well set up & well maintained, some lovely features with Centenary Walk & the 1921 Club House. Excellent. The clubhouse was welcoming & Mark the pro was very helpful.

The club is in a beautiful location with far reaching views and was a perfect venue for a celebration of our mother's life. The airy function room easily accommodated our 40 or so guests, the buffet was varied and plentiful and the bar well stocked. All staff were very professional , efficient and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Hosted our charity’s golf day here. The club couldn’t be more helpful with the day and setting up. The players all 92 of them enjoyed the well looked after 18 holes. The carvery was well enjoyed and plentiful. We have already booked next year.

Very nice golf course, long with well defended greens. Good clubhouse with excellent catering, helpful, well stocked pro shop. Has recovered well from the recent dry spell, much better than some others.

The golf course winds it's way beautifully through the hills of Southern Salisbury. A lovely, well kept, quite challenging golf course well worth a visit. The Pro shop and clubhouse were very welcoming.

Good course, well presented and a strong test of your golfing skills. Well drained too so a good course for a winter jaunt.

Very nice golf course, playing lovely great condition 👍

A hidden gem. Fantastic course , superb greens and friendly and welcoming staff .

One of the best golf clubs to play ⛳️ if you’ve not played there it’s a must do⛳️ for a good game of golf, the fairways are like carpets and the greens are exceptional, a lovely rolling course on the edge of Salisbury plain. The clubhouse has a very welcoming staff and nice food 🥘

The course is excellent having played it at least six times it is always in great condition. The fairways, bunkers and greens are very good. The staff are by far the best of all of the golf clubs that I have played. The bar manager is great, and the food preparation and choice of food never ceases to amaze me. Everything about the club is exceptional well done to all that have contributed to the club’s performance. Well Done👍👍Chris

Loved the idea of the crazy golf course , just too beat up after 18 to try it! Having just played a course close by which had all greens on temps, amazed at the quality of these greens even after torrential rain. There are some interesting holes and it's long but it's the greens and the breakfast which swing the 5 stars

The best course I have played in the area infact best course in the South. The welcome from the staff makes you feel special as soon as you step through the door. The clubhouse has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Its like Chelsea chic comes to Wiltshire. The course is in superb condition and the work being put into it is clearly paying off. Would 100% recommend.

First game - orange course. Fairways in excellent condition - drier than expected. Only 11 and side of 18 were damp and soggy. Greens and tees in very good order. Good to be able to play from the fairways on all of the par4 and 5 holes.

Brilliant Golf Course in superb condition, quite tight fairways, well looked after. Lovely greens with just the right amount of deception (depending on your point of view) Lovely clubhouse, friendly helpful staff and really nice food. Well recommended.🏌️‍♂️⛳☀️👍

Good golf course, challenging yet forgiving if you manage the course. Beware the bunkers, lol. Golf buggies available. Book tee time on line and buggy. Discounts on buggies for medical reasons.

This course is easily one of the best in Hampshire its playable all year round due to it having great drainage and being based on chalk. The greens are in prefect condition all year round, much needed development is happening and its making the course stunning to look at aswell as to play. The club is very welcoming and has a very mixed age group with great attention payed to younger players to get them into golf. I also got married at the club and every part of the day was so well organised and put together. Test valley really is a great club.

I have played here over the years and recently twice. The staff are all polite, friendly and helpful. I rely on them to pass on my compliments to the kitchen crew for excellent meals, and the greens staff for a well maintained course. Not the cheapest but certainly best value for money on a society day out.

Nice course and not outrageously expensive. Greens are pretty consistent although some of the fairways are a bit lumpy and can give some random bounces. That's my excuse anyway.

Ellie and the events team were excellent at helping us with our big day. We felt that we were in safe hands from our first time at Skylark through to our big day. The catering and bar team were accommodating and friendly both on our tasting day and throughout the wedding, not to forget that the food and drinks were amazing. We were so happy with how smoothly everything ran and how helpful everyone was - thank you!

I ran a charity golf day at Skylark, with 88 people attending the event. From start to finish, the staff at Skylark were fantastic, starting with Shannon in the Pro Shop and filtering through to the bar staff and hospitality staff serving the food and drink. The course itself was in immaculate condition and the area provided for the meal and award presentation was of more than ample size, with outdoor seating either end too. This was my 5th charity golf day, was by far the smoothest and well run, thanks to all the support from the course. Will 100% be returning next year. Mark

We got married at Skylark on Sunday 26th May - We cannot explain how amazing everything was! We haven't stopped talking about our special day and how Skylark did everything so perfectly! We had so many lovely compliments on the food, the team and the whole running of the day. Someone even said it was the prettiest wedding venue they had ever been to, which we couldn't agree with more! We wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team at Skylark for making everything so special for us. From the moment we booked, the wedding and events team were incredibly professional and supportive, answering every one of my many many questions. Shortly after we booked our wedding, it was announced that Skylark was being put into administration, this was understandably concerning but the team were there to support us at every stage of the planning process and made us feel 100% more relaxed! A special shout out to Amy who made the initial stages for wedding planning so exciting and effortless! She went off to have a baby which is equally as exciting but we felt sad that we'd lost her. Thankfully we were assigned to Elly (Events Manager) and we instantly knew we were in safe hands. Elly ensured our day ran perfectly and truly was the day we'd dreamt of. During the evening, Jason took over and was amazing. Regularly checking in with both of us to ensure we were okay and making any necessary changes. We cannot explain how thankful we are for everyone at Skylark.

This is a great course for beginners, seniors, juniors or anyone with mobility issues that still want to be able to play the game. It’s also a good place to practice through the winter months when other courses become too muddy to play. I’m a single figure handicap and usually carry just 4 or 5 clubs and make the most of the course, leave the driver at home 3/4 iron is plenty here. Theres not much scope to improve or lengthen the course other than to put another few holes in another field. I’d love to see that, would be a good candidate for the 12 hole golf course, although unlikely.

Lovely Golf Course, friendly and help staff. Very well kept

Lovely little course nestled away in the country. Quiet and peaceful with gorgeous, fast playing greens with some wide fairways with challenging protected Par 3s. Highly recommend.

A lovely little course in a beautiful setting

We had our team Christmas party last night and it was honestly one of the best evenings we have ever had . Carole and her team worked so hard and made the evening enjoyable . Thank you all . Merry Christmas🎅from all at Dental Concepts team : )

Lovely and friendly golf club - buggies available which is also ideal for beginners. There are definitely some challenging holes and the set up of shared tees can be tricky to navigate but keeps you on your toes. There is a par 3 where the teebox has a beautiful view. Would definitely come back!

Poked my nose in yesterday to check the course and clubhouse out and was greeted by a member of staff... She was very polite and sociable.. Only saw a part of the course but what I saw was excellent, especially for early February... I'll be returning to Andover in a couple of weeks and can't wait to play this course..

Played here yesterday after three our four days intense heat. Despite 30 degree temperatures, the fairways were the best I've seen here. Greens were surprisingly slower to putt on than expected, and were holding up despite high temperatures. Friendly staff on board....overall experience was very positive!
