Best Golf Courses in Southampton, Hampshire (2025)

Rating: 4 / 5

Old style former farmers field type of course but with a few improvements over the years. 3 sets of 9 holes gives variety but gets very wet in winter

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

Rating: 4 / 5

Really good course & requires a different set of skills.(lots of chip & run/putter action) Fairways are wide & the grass is really short. Greens lovely & nice scenery……you get a few Forest ponies walking about but they cause no issues. Clubhouse really friendly & welcoming.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Rating: 4 / 5

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

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.

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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!

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.

My husband & I got married here in June 2024. We couldn’t fault East Horton at all. From the planning leading up to the big day, to the day itself, everything was perfect. We’d recommend this beautiful venue to any newly engaged couples. A special thank you to Taura, who made the planning process stress free and made our day go so smoothly!

The golf courses are alright for the cost good yardage, views and the greens are ok. However the food is excellent well worth a visit, a warm and welcoming unusual clubhouse.

Rating: 4 / 5

I played at the beginning of November, after some bad weather, so I was not expecting the best quality of course. I was wrong. No plugging, Tee boxes used but still good condition. Fairways clear of leaves and genuinely great greens. We played here as a lot of other courses in the area had temp greens and winter matts already. Good variety of holes, especially the back nine. Lots of challenges, some elevation changes and some water to miss. Pace of play was good and a nice little pro shop. Nice snacks and drinks at the bar just off the 18th

I photographed a wedding at East Horton Golf Club in April and it was absolutely stunning! The day went so smoothly and as a supplier I was made to feel so welcomed and nothing was too much for the team! Shelby was absolutely amazing, full of information and was the most amazing helping hand on the day! One of the staff was even kind enough to take the couple and myself around the course in a golf buggy so that we could get the most amazing photos! The team at East Horton even brought out two courses of food to a separate area so that I could have a break and the food was INCREDIBLE!!! Such an amazing experience and I truly cannot wait to come back!

What a cracking course and clubhouse. We had our first society day here today and the whole day was perfect. A short but tricky course, but the greens are fast, undulating and challenging. The breakfast and lunch were both top notch and there were 16 empty plates to prove it. A massive thank you to all the staff and the guy in the golf shop for making it such a great day. A big thank you to the chefs too as sometimes the back of house team don't always receive the recognition they deserve. Thanks RGC, a great day had by all 👍

My husband and i held our wedding reception at Romsey Golf Club 3 weeks ago. It was fantastic, some of our guests even said it was the best reception they had been too! When we first contacted RGC a year in advance, we were planning this with Rach (who went on maternity and we were passed onto Kath.) Both ladies were incredibly helpful and wanted to give us the best day possible. Their communication was spot on, we never had to chase them and never did we have any concerns about anything at all. We cant thank everyone enough for all the hard work they put in to make it right. Kath sorted our table plan board, place cards, she set out all the linens, chair covers, sashes, the list just goes on! The golf club members themselves were also very lovely, we had many congratulations and compliments considering we were stepping on their toes. There was also compliment after compliment on the food, so a big thank you to the kitchen staff. Our DJ was hired through them, the catering was done by them, our drapes and up lighters were arranged by them, the LED dance floor was done by them! On top of all that... our wedding photos turned out beautiful, the venue and the grounds are just spectacular. If you need a venue for you wedding reception, you'd be missing out if you dont use them. Thank you to all the staff, who were there that night/night before and the lead up, we truly cant thank you all enough.

Well for my first time at the driving range, I thought it was a lot of fun! My guy took me for a few hours doing something new (for me). Good value 100 balls each. I’m a little disappointed that you can’t hire ‘drivers’ at a ‘Driving Range’. But I did get helpful hints from the very friendly bar staff, thank you! Anyway, next time I’ll bring my own driver (now on order) :) Weather went from torrential rain to sun. But hey, that’s ok when you’re under cover! Lots of free parking. I door and outside crazy golf too! Pool tables, darts and 2 bars! Great few hours out. Looking forward to going back.
