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

The course is good and despite it being a 9 hole it does offer some real variety, it becomes 18 as you play the same holes from two different tee locations.

Joined in the Summer great friendly golf club and would highly recommend when visiting the area.

I had a great time playing this course. Props to the green keepers and wildlife that work in synergy to maintain the course with a combination of machinery and grazing. It was a pleasure to play a course that wasn’t overly manicured and seemed to blend into the natural environment it inhabits. The friendly ponies roaming the course made for a different experience and there is a good mix of holes surrounded by some unforgiving gorse that rewards the player that plots their way safely around course. The staff were friendly and I would thoroughly recommend playing this course!

What a beautiful course, in the heart of the New Forest. Some quirky holes with blind tee off's.. Quick greens and undulating fairways make for a fair challenge, certainly will return 👍⛳

II absolutely loved it, excellent value for money. Played two rounds while I was on holiday. The scenery is stunning, with wild horses running everywhere, beautiful. The staff were very friendly, and other than a few hoof prints on the greens, the courses are in good condition :-)

Great little course and you rarely play from a flat lie which will improve your game. Several par fours that are reachable in one for the bigger hitters but enough tricky holes to keep it interesting. No lush fairways as it’s a Forest course, but ‘pick and place’ all year round. I’d give the course a 7/10, but the clubhouse and the members a good 9/10. The affordability of a round and the wildlife make it well worth a visit.

Some great holes As with other courses where cattle roams, it is very wide open, the fairways are undefined and the greens a touch slow with the odd hoof mark. If that isn’t a deal breaker, this is a very enjoyable golf course. Clubhouse facilities more than adequate.

Really good course & requires a different set of skills.(lots of chip & run/putter action) Fairways are wide & the grass is really short. Greens lovely & nice scenery……you get a few Forest ponies walking about but they cause no issues. Clubhouse really friendly & welcoming.

Played 3-11-24. Course in decent condition after much rain. Winter tees (mats) on some holes. Best book early if you can at weekends as gets very busy. Pictures of 2nd and 6th holes but there isn't much more water! Front 9 much longer - and harder -than back 9 - you can just play back 9. Terrific breakfast which can even make up for playing badly!

Reasonably priced round, course mostly dry for the time of year, one or two muddy holes. Nice Parkland setting with an interesting layout, greens are small, reasonably playable but suffering from a fair amount of animal damage and un-repaired pitch marks. Some incredibly slow 4 balls seemingly oblivious of the backups they’re causing. Skipped a hole to get past and enjoyed an uninterrupted back 9. Green keepers and Club staff work hard to provide a course for all to enjoy and yet let down by the poor etiquette of others.

Had a great society day here a week ago,course tough but in good condition,new bar and catering facilities very well presented, little confused as to why no buggies is the only issue.

Went to use the driving range with my son. Was pretty decent although only a few automated bays on the lower level, one of which was broken. Have a shop but there's only really balls and tees for sale. Would be a great place if it got a little update and modernization. Haven't played the course lately, to comment on that.

A good round of golf! A semi challenging one for a beginner like myself. The course was very playable, especially seeing that there had been a shed load of rain a couple of days prior. The greens weren't the best, but this is totally understandable again due to the conditions in the days before. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Would definitely come back for another round, and hopefully a lower score!!

A really lovely golf club. The Manor course is challenging but very rewarding, and the scenery is delightful. Food was very good. The Forest course sounds really interesting, too. A very friendly club.

A really interesting course through the new forest with great greens and fairways. Manor Course. Pro shop is well equipped with a good selection of mens and womens attire. Really friendly staff who welcomed us. We will happily return ☺️

We had our wedding reception here on Saturday. It was outstanding. We can’t compliment the staff enough. Elli, Becky, jack and Aarron you were amazing. Everything you did was perfect. Thank you for making our day so special.

30 Jun 22, Fantastic course, definitely be playing again there, easy to book, friendly and helpful staff, Was abit of wait on some holes due to 4 ball players taking so long but that's golf! A few challenging holes, greens in great condition. The fairways not so good some holes fairways dry & sun scorched. ⛳🏌‍♂️⛳🏌‍♂️⛳🏌‍♂️⛳🏌‍♂️

An amazing spread of food, catering for over 150 people. The staff were very helpful and attentive! Would highly recommend!

First time playing here and I wasn't disappointed! Course was in good condition, but I could see it suffering in winter with being wet. But for the end of September after a wet summer down pour the greens were nice and quick and were a nice challenge! Would definatly recommend and will come back and play again!
