The Best Golf Courses in Arford, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Very good golf course and club. Last time I played the greens were glass table quick making any approach above the hole virtually impossible to two putt. Always enjoyable walk through the valleys with a further collection of very strong holes on the plateau for the back 9. Keep your ball out the heather if you can. When it gets long it can be a real card wrecker. Both times I’ve had lunch here it’s been Michelin guide worthy. Great day out if you get the invite. Few better courses in Surrey.

Underrated in my opinion. Greens last summer were incridible, so fast and rolled so well. The Front 9 is set in 2 parallele valleys, Ive never seen anything like it, very unique. The back 9 while not in the valleys is just as good and is quite typical of other heathlands in the area. Preferred Hindhead to Woking, West Hill and Worplesdon. Members were very friendly and the scampi wrap for lunch was delicious!

One of the most beautiful and picturesque courses I have ever played. Though not in good condition due to heavy rain..

I played this golf course today in a match against hankley common 28/5/23 and I have to say it is an unbelievable golf course! It’s the nicest and best course I have ever played. Very picturesque. The greens are like lighting , very true and roll beautifully. The fairways are gorgeous. The club house is also good.. nice food and good beer on tap. I can’t recommend this golf course enough , you will not be disappointed.

Superb course, played it Jan 19th in 4 degree weather. Played of the whites and it’s a serious test of golf. Some very challenging long par fours but some very gettable par 5s. Great par 3s except perhaps 17 which does let the rest of them down slightly. Course was in great condition given rain and frost, can only imagine in peak times it would be utterly amazing. Would love to come back

Great golf course, dry and in good condition even in winter. Only negatives are the proximity of the road and the need to cross it twice. Clubhouse bar has some great beers and the carvery lunch is very good.

Fabulous course, in great condition for time of year, would recommend to anyone to play if you get the chance

We played the course today, and what a treat it was. I work as a maintenance contractor for many prestigious Surrey golf courses and I have played some of the best courses in the UK. I just played Formby last week. I have to say the condition of the course was better than any higher ranking courses in the area. I was absolutely blown away by how true and firm the greens were. The fairways, tees and aprons. 5 * condition. The course manager and his team have a clear passion for what they do. Absolute class. Esp for the time of year and the amount of rain we have had recently. Even the heather was better maintained than neighbouring courses. The new holes and layout have been so well executed you would never know which ones they are, but they have made the course so much better. The rye grass walk ways are a thing of beauty as well. Nothing is wanting here. I’m not sure why the course hasn't got a higher ranking in the top 100?

Absolutely brilliant. Clean tidy, well looked after. Great lessons with Peter. Played the par 3 course today, for £6 you can't complain. The greens are only astro but non the less brilliant practice course. Great for kids to play/practice on.

Much improved in appearance and facilities offered with a well equipped driving range and a new par 3 golf course, since our last visit. A really good refreshments addition providing freshly made Pizzas and variety of drinks. Plenty of parking and outdoor seating by the putting green. A great place for golfers of all standards and ages, and families, to enjoy leisure time.

Great driving range - screens work well… lots of bays, and affordable. Bonus is the pizza you can order - with the buzzer when ready system. Nice putting green too.

No frills golf range, which does what it says on the tin. However the gem here is the attached shop, it doesn't carry a huge range of products, but is staffed by truly knowledgeable experts, who will give you advice with no pressure of a sale. For example if you had a fitting, but didn't have a huge budget they would happily advise you what to buy second hand, and then adjust it for you. They also have the latest technology available for lessons and fittings.

Recently become a member after some really pleasant rounds there. Lovely course & the 18 they have done a good mix with what they have. Clubhouse very friendly. Sadly broke my leg weeks after joining, that being said they were incredibly supportive and responsive as well as flexible. It’s appreciated and look forward to being healed and back using the club.

Very welcoming and friendly club - we booked a 2 ball at 1330 hrs slot on late January Saturday PM following a club roll up and managed to play 15 holes but were only asked to play for 9. For those keen to get some exercise this course offers a great work out although good situational awareness required when crossing fairways - some assistance is required for course navigation on back 9 although club members very willing to oblige! Will definitely return in the summer to enjoy this course in optimum condition. Great VFM.

Hello,,, bank holiday Monday,,,, a spur of the moment 9 holes at Alton golf course,,, Very friendly welcome,,,,,,no stress what so ever,,👍 The course is a hidden gem,,,,,, very well maintained,,,,every feature you could have thought of is built into the 9 holes,,,nice little club house,,, Can’t wait too return,,,,,,, many thanks!!😎🏌🏾‍♂️

Great day playing Hockley. Terrific welcome. Lovely food. Fantastic course.

A great golf course. And a tough one too so not for the beginner. Hilly, chalky countryside means it's playable in winter/spring when many other course are not. Pro shop and bar/clubhouse are good standard. And you'll deserve a drink when you've finished a round!

Great course, lovely views, friendly club house staff.

A superb golf club, established over 100 years ago. Great greens, tricky lines in and a brilliant pro team to help get your game in top form. Highly recommended

Went for a business meeting. Nice room. Lots of space

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Good breakfast and lunch options. Golf is pretty good too. Makes you think about every shot very carefully.

You can see the GC is doing a lot of work on the golf course. Played in April 24 and found the course in great condition. The fairways neatly manicured, light rough and true greens. Bunkers were inconsistent, but there is a plan to refurbish all of them in the Autum of 2024.

Amazing golf course. I went in about 16 of the 18 holes bunkers though 🤣 Greens were amazing and lightning fast. Staff were super friendly. Definitely would play again and highly recommended!

We visited here with our Society. A very good course, well maintained and the food was also extremely good. Feedback from our Society’s members was 100% positive. We will be booking next year and many years to come

This is a course that regularly gets plaudits from top 100 golf course lists, and it's easy to see why. The setting is scenic, it has all the practise facilities you could ask for, and the course itself is the star of the show. The greens had recently been treated, but didn't look too far away from being excellent again. The tees were good, and the fairways were just about holding up to the pressures of the summer heatwave we've been going through. There are lots of nicely shaped holes, and a good mix of short and long par 4's. It's also pretty friendly from the tee, so can be played by all levels of handicap. Add in the excellent clubhouse and friendly members (the ones I spoke to were anyway), and you've ticked all of the boxes. Highly recommended.

Have used Alresford GC for many years with my society. The club house has recently been refurbished and is now an excellent venue and the food options are very reasonable and the staff are very attentive. The golf course we played in April 2023 was in excellent condition and the greens were unbelievable for this time of the year. If not played it’s highly recommended.

Nice, well maintained course with friendly welcome for visitors. Drains well, so recommended for winter/Spring in particular. Some challenging holes, particularly those hitting to elevated greens, often with good bunkering too. Some of the “newer” holes further from the clubhouse were less interesting - they are well established after several decades but lacked a bit of character. Nice terrace to catch some sun and watch balls trickle off the tricky final green.

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.

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.

A lovely little course in a beautiful setting

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.

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

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.

A very pleasant parkland course, challenging without being impossibly difficult. Well worth a visit. Very difficult to find via Google maps!

Lovely course, greens in great condition

We've just had our Christmas lunch here. The food was lovely, as were the people serving us. Thank you so much.

Really good course. Very friendly place.
