Our original course and the oldest in the county!
Our original course, now known as the Forest Course and understood to be the oldest in Hampshire, was built by local resident and landowner, Philip de Crespigny, for the entertainment of his weekend guests in about 1865. With its open aspects and rolling heathland, it is in complete contrast to the Manor Course but equally as magnificent. It was recently ranked as the 21st best course under £35 in GB&I.
The roaming ponies and deer add to the charm of the Forest Course, and many prefer to play it for its beauty and old-fashioned test of golfing skills. The prospect of a deer emerging from the trees or a mare and her foal on the fairway gives the Forest Course a special and unique appeal.
Meet our rather unique greenkeepers!
The ever-changing scenery of humps, hollows and meandering streams test golfing skills and, with the added quirky charm of New Forest deer, ponies and pigs roaming the fairways, your round is bound to be one which will be preserved in your memory for years to come.

Visitor Reviews
"Almost perfect conditions on this wonderfully scenic golf course. Great to see the pigs eating the acorns and the crab apples and ponies and cows everywhere. Can certainly recommend this oldest golf course in Hampshire and extremely good value too!"
"Wow … what a course !
I have to say the course was idyllic , a little bit of everything and very tricky in places. Food was top class and Steve who served us was just amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and we received the warmest of welcomes from start to finish. The staff are an absolute credit to this company and I wish them well for the future !"
"Great round on the Forest Course. Lots of ponies and cows to navigate (sorry cow!)"
