New Forest Tour: A Scenic Golfing Retreat
The New Forest Tour combines three exceptional golf courses, each with its own character and charm, set against the stunning backdrops of woodland, heathland and coastline. This tour offers a harmonious blend of sport, nature and relaxation. Whether you’re chasing birdies or simply soaking up the scenery, this is a golfing getaway to remember.
Situated on the outskirts of Southampton, the Stoneham Golf Club is a hidden gem that combines heritage with modern golf. Established in 1908, this classic parkland course features mature trees, undulating fairways and well-placed bunkers that demand precision. Renowned for its immaculate greens and picturesque setting, Stoneham is a course that rewards both strategy and skill. Its friendly clubhouse offers a warm welcome, making it an essential stop on your tour.
Brokenhurst Manor Golf Club
Nestled in the heart of the New Forest, the Brokenhurst Manor Golf Club is a serene 18-hole course designed by the legendary Harry Colt. This idyllic course weaves through ancient woodland and heathland, providing a peaceful yet challenging round. Known for its pristine conditions and wildlife-rich environment, Brokenhurst Manor offers a truly memorable golfing experience. The clubhouse provides a perfect setting to unwind, with views over the course and a reputation for excellent food.
Barton-on-Sea Golf Club
Perched on the stunning Hampshire coastline, Barton-on-Sea Golf Club offers breathtaking views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. This 27-hole clifftop course allows for a variety of combinations, each presenting unique challenges and scenic vistas. Coastal winds and strategically placed hazards keep players on their toes, while the natural beauty of the area adds to the appeal. A welcoming clubhouse with panoramic views completes the experience.
Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa
Our recommended base is Careys Manor in Brockenhurst, a country house hotel in the heart of the New Forest National Park. With 77 rooms and suites, there is space for the whole group. Brokenhurst Manor Golf Club is on the doorstep, and Brockenhurst station, with direct trains from London Waterloo, is a short walk away. There are three restaurants to choose from: Cambium, which holds two AA Rosettes, the French bistro Le Blaireau and the Thai Zen Garden. Non-golfers will love SenSpa, the hotel’s award-winning Thai spa, with its hydrotherapy pool and thermal rooms.
The Montagu Arms, Beaulieu
For a smaller, more intimate stay, The Montagu Arms is a Grade II-listed country house hotel dating back to 1742, in the heart of the picturesque village of Beaulieu. Its award-winning Terrace Restaurant and the more relaxed Monty’s Inn make for memorable evenings, and the National Motor Museum and Beaulieu Abbey are a short stroll away.
