Played On 02/03/2018Pace of play
I will say firstly the staff were lovely and this no way effects them. However I won't be returning to this golf course. The course condition was average at best I know it's winter but I have seen courses around the area in much better condition. The pace of play was awful we had a four ball Infront of us that spent so long over every shot, they eventually split into 2 separate 2 balls so we had to wait for them to tee off separately after about 4 holes. What didn't help was the 2 ball Infront of us were extremely slow at one point they spent 10 minutes deciding if they could hit a ball out of the tree and back into the fairway. This just killed the round for us as it took is nearly 3 hours to do the front 9, luckily they went off after the 12th and we got the remaining holes done in good time. This was the biggest effect for us the extremely slow play and the fact they would not let us play thro no matter how many times we caught them up. I won't be visiting this golf course again, but as I said the staff were lovely just the course was a let down for conditions and the pace of play was terrible.

Played On 01/28/20189 hole not 18
Book the course thinking it was an 18 hole course but it’s really twice round a 9 hole course.
However would not stop me coming back, found a little gem in this nine hole course. Not the longest or difficult but still a brilliant course none the less and the greens were in superb condition for the time of year a nice true roll and balls from the fairway stopping quick with even a bit of spin for good measure.
Would recommend to anyone and would say that there is an option to tee off from different tee box’s the second time round.
Staff were also very friendly.

Every time I’m down this way on a course I bring my clubs and pay the Hampshire a visit. Booking through a hot deal at only £10 it is amazing value for a very nice golf course. Even the standard £15 on tee off times is night and day against the other clubs trying to charge silly money.
If you are ever in the area and looking for somewhere to test your all round game, grab some food and get brillIant value for money then this place is your answer.

Before I start my review of the course I just want to say that my review is no reflection on the staff, they were very friendly and very polite infact they couldn’t have been nicer.
The course however...that’s a different story. This was the first time I played this course and it will also be my last. The fairways were basically just mud for 90% of the course and don’t think they had seen a lawnmower in a few months. Guessing maybe been bad weather but was not expecting this, was almost like trying to play golf in a field the same day after a music festival. Absolutely no chance. Good and bad shots were punished!
The greens however did run quite well and could tell they are looked after, given the fact there was seed on them which I’m totally fine with, just shows however the green keepers employed must have just forgot about the fairways or maybe the grass cutter was out of petrol so just haven’t bothered.
It’s a shame as the course has so much potential if it was just given the tlc it deserves instead of focusing all attention on the greens leaving the rest of the course to suffer so badly.

Played On 11/04/2017Great wee course
played this course today had been a lot of rain recently but only one green showed any sign of this.
The staff were very friendly and the course was a good but tricky layout some blind holes with no idea where to play ball on first visit but adds to the fun, found my way round not a problem using the signs.
would play again and probably will tomorrow.
