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

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

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!

Went for brunch here on daughters birthday in the restaurant/ cafe area. Had a great time! Weather was nice and sunny so we sat outside. Food was good and served promptly with no fuss. Would definitely go back again.

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

Lovely course, a typical wintery day with murky clouds and it was pretty windy in some exposed places. I really enjoyed the variety of elevated tees, blind tee shots, water hazards and the views are stunning. I look forward to visiting again in the Summer months !!!

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.

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.

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!

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

I recently ran a Mental Health and Small Business - One Day Conference at Test Valley Golf Club and can't truly express how impressed I was with everything from the venue, to the catering, to the level of service. From the moment I enquired, Maria and Molly made me feel welcome and wanted to ensure they could accommodate as much as was feasible to create an event just as I had envisioned. The preparation and support provided was second to none. On the day, the food was excellent, the room was perfectly arranged and no dietary requirements or additional requests were too much trouble. They were so attentive and I can not wait to book our next event with them.

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.

Love the course and the investment in the drainage to improve play in winter. Very helpful staff, the course is really enjoyable and great greens. I will be back, be great if you had a 9 hole price, as I rarely have time for 18. The pro at the club is extremely helpful and really knows he stuff. Always willing to help and the simulator in this weather is really useful.

My daughter treated me to a high tea at southwick golf club today for my birthday . What a wonderful treat this turned out to be . The sandwiches were perfect the cakes and scones were perfect we asked for coffee rather than tea and it was a delightful coffee . The lady that took care of us was so friendly and just the best host . To say we were all impressed is an understatement. It was a beautiful place with fantastic views to look out on fantastic service and fantastic high tea can't recommend this place enough we will definitely be returning. All I can say is thank you you catered for 4 generations my mum my me my daughter and my grandson and we all had the best time .

What a lovely place! The friendliest and most helpful staff. Honestly one of the best afternoon teas I’ve had. Fresh, generous and good quality produce and the most tastiest scones I’ve ever had! Absolutely loved it. I’d love to return to try lunch or Sunday carvery some day soon!! Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon!! 😀

Afternoon tea was a birthday pressie. Never been to this venue before, lovely setting overlooking the golf course. Staff very welcoming and hot drinks (unlimited refills) served straight away with food following soon after. All looked delicious. My only critisism would be the size of the sandwiches. Personally I would have preferred them to be dainty finger sandwiches and perhaps without the extras, i.e. picalilli, cranberry sauce, which are not to everyones taste. That said, we had a lovely afternoon and I am returning for lunch with a group of friends next month. Thank you.

Really enjoy playing golf with my son here, nice little par 3 course.

Great golf course quite challenging on some hole's, super condition and excellent value for par 3 18 hole course. Club house staff very friendly and welcoming as were the other golfer's at the course. Highly recommended.

Absolutely gorgeous for a wedding venue. My daughter and new son in law recently held their wedding at Ampfield Country club. Staff were above and beyond helpful and friendly they helped make the day so special. Setting was stunning ***** star.

The food was excellent!! Great place to get married, staff very friendly and supportive they made my sister's special day go smoothly!! Highly recommended!

Excellent course - true links. Great shape. Fair. Played in 20 yard wind, sideways rain, full sun....would come back in a heartbeat (and for the record I think the middle 5/6 holes are incredibly strong).

This is a proper links and a tough track. We were lucky enough to play it on a calm day and you still needed your driving game to be in good shape to make the fairways. Some great holes and no bad ones - unsure why Hayling doesn't rate higher in all those Top 50's etc. For my money it's the best links between Rye and Saunton in the South of England. Add to that a lovely clubhouse with great balcony views and friendly welcome with none of the stuffiness of some of the better known courses. Well worth a day trip from London and good value for money for the quality of golf and conditioning of the course.

Mark, the Pro was amazing! Golf isn’t an easy game, but to have the skills and ability to make it simple for me to understand, is outstanding. Mark, has been able to make the complicated simple and golf really enjoyable. Super friendly team combined with an outstanding golf course, make this a top 10 golf venue to visit. The course is in immaculate condition, while others get stuck in the mud. I felt like It was a lush spring day. I will be back, as looking forward to see the investment in the course lands.

This place goes straight into the top-10. A great track and a great club to boot. Superb routing, great conditioning, fair test and not easy when the wind blows. You can see why this place is rated in the same bracket as Rye GC (maybe better). Big thanks to Mark (Pro) and to Graham / the club for getting us on. The clubhouse is a JOY with a great restaurant to boot. It took me 20 years to get here, and I will be back within 3 months ... it IS that good.

Great little golf course, well kept greens are lovely

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.

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.

Very good experience. Very happy with all aspects. It's a shame my frosty piles bothered me so. Have a beautiful time when your here.

Lovely recently upgraded driving range and brilliant junior lessons.

Yesterday we hired this venue for a baby shower event and to quote our guests 'this was the classiest baby shower they had ever been to'. All the team at the club couldn't do enough to help - the room decor was perfectly matched, the afternoon tea delicious and the general setting and atmosphere around the club made the event go perfectly. Thoroughly recommend this venue hire for special occasions.

Great golf course, catering very good

A group of us (21) descended upon Rowlands Castle gc on the last day of our tour. We were all pleasantly surprised by the welcome we received from all staff and members alike. The course is an absolute gem, well maintained, and cherished by the members. How lucky they are to play this course on a regular basis. I/we will go back for more.

I visited this club as children's entertainer for a function. The staff were very helpful and would highly recommend the club *****

A group of 12 of us played here 13 May 22. Couldn't have had a more friendly welcome from the members and staff. Course in great condition - challenging but true greens and a really well put together test of golf.
