North Hants
North Hants Golf Club is located at the western edge of a fabulous collection of heathland golf courses. Each resides on a large area of sand-belt that starts in the east with the likes of Wentworth and Sunningdale, heads south and west through The Berkshire, Swinley Forest and the three W's (Woking, Worplesdon and West Hill) and eventually comes to a conclusion here at North Hants.
Like so many of the aforementioned, North Hants also started life as a relatively open heathland course, but the growth of trees has re-defined it (and most of the others) into something better described as wooded heathland. Pine, birch, rhododendrons and the like, now mix freely with the swathes of heather and gorse that originally dominated the heath. The result here at North Hants is a picturesque layout, full of pleasant undulations and well-shaped holes, requiring a relatively straight game from the tee and good shot-making thereafter to score well.
North Hants is a deceptively challenging course. With its large greens and several long par fours, it's capable of testing golfers of all levels. Every year it stages the Hampshire Hog - a prestigious and long established 36-hole men’s scratch amateur event.
Visitors welcome on weekdays, and weekend afternoons (on a limited basis).
Must book in advance. Proof of handicap required.

When Justin turned professional in 1998, he was still only a junior member of the club.
England's 98th best course (Golf World, 2024).
