Bramshaw Golf Club is home to the Manor course (1971), which is located at the clubhouse, directly behind the Bell Inn. Half a mile away, along Roger Penny Way (B3078), is the club's much older and more rudimentary Forest course (1865), the oldest course in Hampshire, and reputedly the third oldest golfing ground in England. Description and further details to follow.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Players generally walk this course.
Bramshaw Golf Club and Bramshaw Cricket Club (at the same location as the Forest course), were officially established by John Jeffreys and Philip de Crespigny in 1880. It is documented that de Crespigny had been entertaining guests on his rather basic "Forest" golf course since around 1865.

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
