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

This is really a great experience, not a long course but you need to think through every shot. Not one hole the same. Very attractive as well as a top test.

Very good Golf course and given the conditions (near freezing and a small bit of rain), thought the course held up really well. Unfortunately, we were on temporary greens but that is not a fault of the club. Not the longest of courses but still a good test of Golf, there are many greens with false fronts. It seems And can imagine that you do have to be very accurate with approach shots. Would love to come back again in the spring or summer to really see what the course is like.

First visit to this tree lined course in Oct 24. In good condition. Great society day out.

A hidden gem. A Harry Colt masterpiece: not long, not hilly but requiring accurate shot placement. In immaculate condition.

Had a great day playing against the seniors today, a lovely course, testing but inviting and the greens were in beautiful condition. But the best part was the great bunch of guys we played with. Thanks for the day guys, and hopefully will be back again.

Fabulous Golf Course and in prestine condition. Greens very undulated and super fast.

Absolutely lovely.... New course is still a challenge but boy you have to try the Old course Late October visit... Colours of trees fantastic and courses in great shape

Private course for John Lewis & Waitrose partners. Very well kept and an interesting course made of two 9 hole course, old (original and better) and new which is still good.

Didn't play golf but used it for scouts it was decent

Absolute joy to be a member here. Local to me and perfect to help me get started on my short game. Well kept, beautiful views and a fantastic par 3 coarse. Everyone super friendly and helpful. Overtons little secret piece of heaven !

Took my eldest (8) to his first Cub Scout meeting and he loved it!

good little course. excellent for beginners

Excellent, well maintained course in beautiful Hampshire countryside. Lovely new clubhouse and friendly staff Would readily recommend and happily return

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

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.

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.

This place is great. I went there with my 9 year old. Booked online. Unlimited balls. Clubs for the 9yo are included. The radar system means we can play a game of Angry Birds and he is motivated to hit the ball straight. There are loads of bays. There is a restaurant and a bar. Brilliant.

I enjoyed few hours spent there. Private booths are perfect for beginners and fun with balls! Public bays are also very comfortable l. Food very nice and staff polite. Will definitely visit again

Great facilities and staff are very welcoming. Andy Reid was especially friendly and great help in giving a few tips and making sure I had everything I needed whilst there - will likely come back for some proper lessons - highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.

Played Stroller & Needles. Both incredible views and challenging holes. Stroller better of the two and harder. Lots of bunkers and some difficult hole layouts on both. Greens were a1. Clubhouse really cool. Just a fun place to play and challenging. Lots of par 5s and long challenging ones. The bunkers need the sand loosening though because they were almost all playing really shallow and hard and it was hard to take sand. Most of the sand underneath top thin layer was compacted, not loose. Apart from that it was awesome. This place is amazing and such a cool quirky club. Will definetly be returning at some point with other family/friends. Thanks a lot

We are members anyway, and to be honest it's a very special place to visit. The sea view, Christchurch Bay, Needles in full view of, is stunning! Brendan for us being front of house, he is absolutely key to our experience, very witty, very hard working and attentive, along side a great team effort in general. We love it here, and will be forever regular visitors.

Fun course...good shape...a bit confusing as 3 9's so always around people and other holes. Would come back. Played it in a 3 club wind which always takes away a little something. Great views.

Best welcome to date…beautiful link course, with the Isle of Wight views. A big shout of to Christie in the pro shop who went up and beyond to help my partner and I find a good place for NYE. Also Graham Pole for his generosity in buying us a pint after our first game here, as the bar was closing with only cash payments. We will defiantly be back to play the final 9 soon. Sam & James 😃

Great friendly club and welcoming for Juniors. Good coaching with indoor facilities to tune up your game during the winter. Good bar and great food with a lovely terrace for summer drinks. A tricky course in great condition with a friendly welcome awaits any visitors. Highly recommended 5*

Last weekend, my friend and I had an absolutely delightful time here. While waiting for our group to finish their game, we enjoyed a bite to eat at the club's clubhouse. The setting was perfect—a lovely day complemented by a superb location. We indulged in a glass of rosé and ordered the chicken burger, which was nothing short of scrumptious. The burger was expertly layered with crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and the most amazing sauce, all nestled between a crisp, fresh bread roll. It was a wonderful lunch that truly hit the spot. The staff were amazing, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an outstanding experience, and I can't recommend Hartley Wintney Golf Club enough for both the golf and the dining!

Beautiful course friendly people and great food

Great course and wonderful clubhouse.

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 lovely little course in a beautiful setting

Great little golf course, well kept greens are lovely

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..

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 : )

Took family up to see the fireworks this year 2023. They had hot and cold beverages. Live band which were pretty good. Got the crowd going. They also had hot and cold food outside or in vans on the field. Fireworks were great! £10 entry fee for what you got I think it was worth the price. Had an amazing time. I didn't get many pictures as I was too busy enjoying myself.
