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.

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 !!!

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

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.

Excellent luxury spa hotel . We visited for a spa weekend and had an excellent stay. The pool and spa area is large and very relaxing and the gym is well equipped . We dined at the dining room and have a very good meal and the best service we have received in a UK hotel very attentive staff! When we left it was raining and the concierge team even offered to bring my car down so we didn’t get wet . Highly recommend and will be returning in the summer !

Superb experience. Hotel staff were very attentive and welcoming. The Junior Suite was first class and the attention to detail was second to none. The breakfast was amazing and offered extensive choices. After a long walk on the beach we chilled out in the Spa. The outdoor jacuzzi overlooking the trees was magical. Thank you to the Chewton Glen Team for a memorable experience 👏

Their lovely dining room was being spruced up so we were in their function room. Food lovely. New Tennis surface brilliant to play on. The staff could not have been more helpful. Facilities so relaxing

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 :-)

fabulous course well worth a visit very friendly and beautiful location.. stunning greens very well presented and not very hilly perfect day for my birthday will be back for sure

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

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

It's a golf course with potential but there's a lot of grounds work and landscaping going on across the course, clearly to make it better and more of a challenge, and in the middle of a drought it wasn't the best time to visit as the course is clearly not the finished article. Wasn't aware so much work was going on. Friendly staff in the pro shop and clubhouse and some great holes especially on the back nine. Not expensive either.

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.

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 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.

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Been a member here for a little while now, and so glad to be a part of the club! The course is absolutely stunning, even through the winter months. Everyone is very friendly, the facilities are great, and they are constantly investing money back in. It's not a massively long course, but still a very testing layout. Plenty of well placed bunkers, streams and forest to contend with. The greens, which are some of the best around, are very tricky, and you are rarely left with a straight putt. 5* for me so far!

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course, good condition for the time of year and even had decent weather

Rating: 5 / 5

One of the best courses I’ve played on in the area. It’s really well kept and looked after. Friendly members and well run bar. The course has 2 long par 4s, but present other challenges on the shorter holes so provides a good balance. If you play in the mornings and evenings you’ll often find deer wandering the course.

Rating: 4 / 5

This is a lovely place to play golf. Pro shop and clubhouse very welcoming and the catering good, plentiful and reasonably priced. The fairways are well covered and generous and the greens are very good, some borrows and slopes quite subtle, others not so subtle. Not overly long, the fairways are quite generous but there is plenty of woodland to assist in losing the ball. Most greens are well bunkered but the sand is good and consistent. We really enjoyed it. Dull day but that didn't detract.

So much fun playing the mini golf. Was a shame one of the holes was closed but you got a discount on the full price because of this. Best to get here early as does get very busy on a nice day. Much better than a lot of other outdoor mini golfs in the area.

Rating: 5 / 5

We visited the NF Adventure Golf which is a well laid out and maintained crazy golf course. The holes are quite hard as there are a lot of slopes around but the course is innovative and the Isle of Wight ferry which takes you over the streams is pure magic. Good price as well. You can buy refreshments there

Rating: 5 / 5

Had a great time, excellent fun! Enjoyed looking out for the special features of each hole (like a treasure hunt), loved the ferry and enjoyed a delicious refreshing ice cream at the end 😋🍦

Great little 18 hole mini golf course. It is beautifully kept, extremely clean and tidy with bins around the course. There's a chance for kids to get a sticker by playing spot the animals on the way around the course, along with a little rope ferry across a little pond. Golf wasnt the easiest but it was great fun and kept us entertained for over an hour. With the interaction parts, means you aren't on top of each other when playing. The woman working on the course was brilliant, really friendly and knowledgeable about the course. Overall really impressed by this beautiful little gem, worth a visit either as a group, couple or as a family. It isn't the cheapest but great deals for family

First game - orange course. Fairways in excellent condition - drier than expected. Only 11 and side of 18 were damp and soggy. Greens and tees in very good order. Good to be able to play from the fairways on all of the par4 and 5 holes.

We had a 60th birthday party at Hamptworth and we had ordered a finger buffet. The quality and choice of the buffet was excellent and more than enough for everyone. Each of our guests were very impressed with the quality and cleanliness of the venue, as well as the food, drinks and the efficiency of Zoe and her team. Zoe was also a great help with organising the play list which for us technophobes was a huge plus. We returned with some of our guests for breakfast the following day, unfortunately the weather was grim so they couldn't see the beautiful view of the course from the clubhouse very well. Despite this a couple of them expressed a desire to return and play the course. A huge thank you to Andy and all his team for making the occasion so special.

Rating: 5 / 5

The best course I have played in the area infact best course in the South. The welcome from the staff makes you feel special as soon as you step through the door. The clubhouse has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Its like Chelsea chic comes to Wiltshire. The course is in superb condition and the work being put into it is clearly paying off. Would 100% recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Loved the idea of the crazy golf course , just too beat up after 18 to try it! Having just played a course close by which had all greens on temps, amazed at the quality of these greens even after torrential rain. There are some interesting holes and it's long but it's the greens and the breakfast which swing the 5 stars

Rating: 5 / 5

This is an excellent golf course for the money with some really good holes for both the competent and novice golfer, all the staff are pleasant and helpful and the club house is well equipped and I have to add the food is always good too ⛳🏌️😎👍
