Really enjoying my Golf lessons with coach Sam Holloway. I starting from scratch …..He’s very knowledgeable, and patient. He has a kind and friendly approach to learning a new sport and even from the first lesson has inspired me to learn more. SW Golf course is the most beautiful setting and a lovely place to enjoy a coffee after with my new team mates !

Our ( husband and I ) first lesson with Sam at SWGC. So so good Corrected all our mistakes and found increased confidence as a result. Best golf lesson by far and well worth the money. Recommended

James was quickly able to see where I was going wrong and showed me how to make a correction. It is well worth taking James up on his offer of a free 30 minute appraisal and I expect to book lesson once it gets a bit warmer.

Played at RWGC this week. Weather wasn’t too good, windy and drizzly but everything else was fantastic. Superb course which uses the terrain brilliantly. Only one flat hole on the course and that’s the short par 3 17th. The greens were quick and incredibly subtle to read - getting the ball close with your first putt was challenging. We played off the whites and there are some very difficult par 4’s, especially back into the wind. The clubhouse is superb with floor to ceiling glass and a terrace overlooking the 18th. The staff were so friendly and the whole place is extremely welcoming. Looking forward to playing here again hext Summer in our captain’s away day. All in all, a fantastic experience, highly recommend.

Great course in very good condition. Very wide and open, so you spray it around a bit and get away with a few loose shots. Greens were very true and rolled well. Great clubhouse with a balcony overlooking the 18th. We'll worth a visit.

We played the course yesterday on our way home from playing all three courses at The Belfry and it was fantastic! It was the highlight of my trip. The course is in fantastic condition, you wouldn't think we have been having extremely wet conditions lately. The views from around the course are tremendous, especially the view from the putting green which looks over the first fairway and green (which you hit onto from an elevated tee box), as well as a few other tee boxes and greens. The other was from the first green which gives you a great look at the club house, its terrace, and some of the latter holes. There are so many memorable holes where you tee off from an elevated position down to sloping fairways that collect balls into a central position, the greens are lovely and big, which run smoothly with some slope to them, there is also an extremely elevated green. What I will say is this course is only 6300 yards, but with the uphill and downhill elements plays a lot longer making sub 400 yard par 4s quite challenging at times. I ended up walking about 7.5 miles in total, and whilst that is fine for me others may need an electric trolley or kart to help them get around. Finally, there is a sizable reduction in green fees when using your County Card in the week which we took full advantage of. The clubhouse and its staff were very inviting and the selection of beers were great. 5/5 will be back again! Oh and I shot 36 stableford points

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

What a fantastic course, even after all the rain this year the course was in great shape and the greens were excellent! Felt really welcome by every one we interacted with! We’ll definitely be back!

We have just held a reception here for my late Uncle and I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for a very well organised event from start to finish. From the planning stage to the delivery everything went perfectly. The service from the team of waiters serving to the cooks preparing and everything in between. Excellent food choices and a beautiful setting and atmosphere. Thank you Lauren and Nikki and everyone.

A lovely little course in a beautiful setting

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: 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.

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

Played this lovely course on February 5th....it was in super nick, unbelievably dry and firm under foot, greens running true and excellent tee boxes. Certainly a hidden gem in Hampshire and great value for money!!

Rating: 5 / 5

Great little golf club. It was very wet the day I played (see pic) but once I was out in the course it was clear that the drainage was overly good as I hardly spotted a puddle and play was really good. Except in the bunkers of course, but they were redoing them anyway, probably for this exact reason. Anyway, great facility and will be back. Good selection of beers in the clubhouse and Lasagne was plentiful and spot on after a wettish round of play. Highly recommend 👍

Amazing value for money, brilliant course the west is more interesting and slightly better condition but great venue and super friendly staff. Play it.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Golf Club, and I must say it exceeded all expectations. The course is beautifully maintained, offering both challenging holes and scenic views. It’s clear a lot of care goes into ensuring the quality of the grounds. The staff was friendly and professional, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, this golf club is the perfect place to enjoy a round of golf. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch golfing experience!

Rating: 4 / 5

A good round of golf! A semi challenging one for a beginner like myself. The course was very playable, especially seeing that there had been a shed load of rain a couple of days prior. The greens weren't the best, but this is totally understandable again due to the conditions in the days before. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Would definitely come back for another round, and hopefully a lower score!!

Really enjoyable round of golf on the Manor course. Course was in great condition, pro shop very friendly and a welcoming 19th 👍🍺🏌‍♂️. I highly recommend playing here. We will be back 🙂

Rating: 5 / 5

A really lovely golf club. The Manor course is challenging but very rewarding, and the scenery is delightful. Food was very good. The Forest course sounds really interesting, too. A very friendly club.

Rating: 5 / 5

Nice course, well maintained. Lots of variety in the types of holes. Staff and other players were very friendly. Bunkers could use some more sand (except the one in the picture...that one had more than enough 😂).

Rating: 5 / 5

This will certainly become one of the"must play" courses in the South of England. Immaculate greens and superbly sculptured holes, combined with a glorious clubhouse experience.

Rating: 5 / 5

I don't play golf, but was invited to a function at the club. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, and the carvery was amazing. I won't take up golf, but I'd definitely attend another event!
