When our original booking let us down this morning for our Grandmothers funeral wake today the great staff at Wellow Golf Club could not have been more inviting and accommodating at such short notice The food was good, plentiful and hot Thank you so much 🙏

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Great challenging golf course,well maintained, friendly staff, good food, will return soon.

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!

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.

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.

Had a great society day here a week ago,course tough but in good condition,new bar and catering facilities very well presented, little confused as to why no buggies is the only issue.

Rating: 4 / 5

Reasonably priced round, course mostly dry for the time of year, one or two muddy holes. Nice Parkland setting with an interesting layout, greens are small, reasonably playable but suffering from a fair amount of animal damage and un-repaired pitch marks. Some incredibly slow 4 balls seemingly oblivious of the backups they’re causing. Skipped a hole to get past and enjoyed an uninterrupted back 9. Green keepers and Club staff work hard to provide a course for all to enjoy and yet let down by the poor etiquette of others.

Rating: 5 / 5

Driving range good and price for balls good. The course is ok, it could do with better drainage and some TLC around the greens but a good test of golf. The cafe, clean, hot food, nice atmosphere and your made to feel welcome.

Rating: 4 / 5

Went to use the driving range with my son. Was pretty decent although only a few automated bays on the lower level, one of which was broken. Have a shop but there's only really balls and tees for sale. Would be a great place if it got a little update and modernization. Haven't played the course lately, to comment on that.

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!!

A really interesting course through the new forest with great greens and fairways. Manor Course. Pro shop is well equipped with a good selection of mens and womens attire. Really friendly staff who welcomed us. We will happily return ☺️

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.

Fantastic day was had today with my society. Fantastic course, staff were brilliant and the pie and chips after golf was lovely

Rating: 5 / 5

Played in a charity day here (and have done for several years). A really good course, challenging yet forgiving (on a couple of holes atleast) the course was in great condition, the staff helped run the day efficiently and all in all it was a good day raising money for a local charity. Would recommend playing here anytime, we were lucky with the weather today, however I have played when it is wet and the course drains really well. Enjoy!

Held my daughters wedding at the golf club. Honestly had the perfect day. Staff were brilliant, with nothing too much trouble. Food was excellent. Fantastically organised day. Thanks again to all involved. You made a special day very memorable.

Rating: 4 / 5

Fairways lovely, green are nice and quick although most quite flat. Course generally is in very good condition. Lovey setting too. We arrived and ignored at the shop for a fair few minutes. Tip - however busy people are, please encourage them to acknowledge your existence and say you’ll be with you shortly. Nothing worse than a visitor not feeling welcome
