Royal Winchester
Royal Winchester Golf Club is home to a pleasantly challenging and undulating 18-hole course, designed by J.H. Taylor, a member of the legendary Great Triumvirate (with James Braid and Harry Vardon).
The layout is built on typical Hampshire downland, partly open and partly tree-lined, and offers lovely views over north east Hampshire. This easy-draining course plays well throughout the year, even on the wettest of days. The layout includes several attractive holes and features that will test most facets of your game. Worth visiting if you are in the area.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; only members and their invited guests on weekends.
Must book in advance.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

Bernhard Langer: he may have played in his last Masters Tournament, but the 67-year-old German will be trying to extend his own record, and win a 13th senior major title at the 36th Regions Tradition. (May 15-18).
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
