Best Golf Courses in Fareham, Hampshire (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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!! 😀

I went there for a birthday meal, the food was amazing, it was a roast and the roast potatoes were perfect. I would thoroughly recommend them as their service was friendly and professional. The view from the club house is spectacular too.

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.

I've been a member here since this spring having waited a for the conversation from a 9 hole. I've enjoyed the course in both summer and now the autumn. I'm loving it and look forward to the completion of the new sections. For me its got all sort of challenges and styles of course in one. The maturity of the old course has been cleverly incorporated into new and I can see it getting better and better. Some great views over Hampshire and the lakes on the course. Agree with the other reviews being impressed with continuing condition of the greens and course in the wet. Shotgun tomorrow morning and it's full! I'm not sure what a green keepers revenge is though.

What an experience. The course is laid out over a large estate around the cricket stadium. Lots of variation, no two holes alike with good course management needed to get a good score. We always walk the course, but we could justify a buggy here if we wanted. We visited in January after some bad weather and found only one winter tee, no temp greens, and firm fairways. It's a real treat for this time of year. Great round had and will be returning soon

A nice looking course and challenging at this time of year. Thankfully, all holes were open but quite confusing with what holes to go to next, doesn’t seem very practical at times, especially for first-timers. We didn’t enjoy the greens due to them actually being painted. The green paint had actually dyed my white head covers by the end of the round. Looking forward to seeing how the course plays in the summer.

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

Rating: 4 / 5

It's a downland course, close to the M3. There are a reasonable variety of holes. It's not overly tough, but some of the greens undulations can be a challenge. It's quiet a hilly course, so if you're carrying, be prepared. The clubhouse staff are welcoming friendly. The food is OK. If you're in the area it's worth a visit.

Great course, lovely views, friendly club house staff.

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

Lovely 9 hole golf course. Tricky in places which makes it an interesting course. Definitely worth a visit.

Rating: 5 / 5

What a lovely little course, not too difficult but plenty long enough to have a really good game. With golf pro tuition and plenty of spots on the driving range, there's everything you need. Many thanks.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course, ideal for someone wanting to start out due to short yardage but some testing holes nonetheless. Old school driving range, great character and friendly welcoming staff, reasonably priced

Rating: 5 / 5

A great round of golf. This parkland course was challenging (slope 127 off the yellows) beautifully kept and in super condition. The tee boxes were pristine, the greens very tricky and very fast. The fairways were wide and sand in the bunkers soft and fluffy. No streams or ponds or any water hazards - what's not to like?? Additionally staff in the Pro Shop and bar were friendly and welcoming. The bar food was substantial, well presented and very reasonable. We will return.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent course. Greens have always been good whenever I have played. A fair but really good test with a challenging finish over the last four holes.

A lovely course, food was also very good - attended a golf day here

Rating: 4 / 5

Friendly golf club who go out of their way to please visitors. They do a great breakfast as well! Course is good if not too challenging so ideal first stop on a tour to the New Forest areas.

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

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

Great little golf course, well kept greens are lovely

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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

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.

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

Rating: 4 / 5

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).

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Wow what a stunning links set up. Tough as you like. A proper test of golf. Greens are super quick, bunkers are faultless fairways are tight and the rough is punishing. Definitely be back. But today with the wind the course crushed our group.

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.

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.

Course in fantastic condition for Feb. Well worth it’s top 100 rating

Rating: 5 / 5

Visited here at the weekend, wow! Stunning course which is relatively hidden! I've never played on greens so fast and running so true. The course is very well looked after making it a challenge for all handicaps and types of players. The staff and members are all friendly too making you feel welcome. Would love to play here again and will try the course again in the autumn hopefully. Thanks for having me.

My Son treated me to a round at Stoneham for Father's day and I wasn't disappointed at all. It has to be one of the best courses I have ever played. Great variety of holes and some great birdie chances to be had on some of the shorter par 4's and 5's. The greens ran true and were in mint condition as was the rest of the course. The 18th was awesome with so much danger if you miss hit your ball and a brilliant final hole to end your round. Easily 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from us and hopefully be back again this year for another game.
