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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

A wonderful course ⛳️. Visited as a guest and was very pleasantly surprised. Both the tee-boxes and greens were immaculate. Some really good challenging holes, made more tricky by the fast pace of the greens. Had a great time on the corse and will definitely recommend. Only 4 stars as booking the time proved very challenging, as the phone was never answered, the clubhouse was shut when we finish at around 7pm, and the old boy in the club shop was rude and disrespectful, especially to a visitor who they should be trying to impress not belittle.

I was invited by a friend and member of this club, Played today with 3 friends, Wednesday 5th of June, 2024 This is my opinion of the course, club house staff and members I met in the car park. The course was flawless !!!! The tees were flat well looked after really tidy and big enough to change positions 7 time a week, The fairways were beautifully cut and no sign of a weed on any of the fairways, The aprons were very good, And as for the greens, Well great cut great roll incredible breaks tricky to read but really enjoyable, The clubhouse, Excellent ! Comfortable, clean, tidy and great views. Staff are polite, friendly and welcoming. Other members we bumped into were friendly and welcoming. A Great job by one and all. Greens Staff great work guys. I would be so proud if I were a member of this club !!!!

Lovely course in great condition. Played for the first time recently with 3 friends after Old Thorns (which was also lovely, but with some challenging holes). Shame spikes not allowed on the balcony!?

Although it was winter season this course was in excellent condition. The club staff were superb. Very friendly and proud of their club and course. We will definitely visit again. If I lived here I'd be proud to be a member of Petersfield Golf Club.

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.

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.

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.

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 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*

Great course and wonderful clubhouse.

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

Great golf club, excellent course, great staff.

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

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!

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

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 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.

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.

A lovely little course in a beautiful setting

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.

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!!😎🏌🏾‍♂️

This is a scenic and hilly 9 hole golf course that's well worth a visit. There are some stand out holes (the 3rd and 4th spring to mind), some gorgeous views, and everyone I met there was really friendly. There are a couple of climbs that will need to be navigated, but if you're okay with that then I think you'll really enjoy Alton. The greens were in great condition, and the tees and fairways were decent too.

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.
