Royal Winchester Golf Club

3-PLUS: Good course - several memorable features; worthy of 3½ stars.

Est. 1888

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.

Who's Who

Céline Boutier: with many successes as both an amateur and professional golfer, Boutier added a major championship title to her impressive résumé at this year’s Evian Championship.

Alex Cejka: buffeted by rain and high winds, especially on the high-scoring final day, Čejka prevailed over Pádraig Harrington in a playoff at Royal Porthcawl, to scoop the Senior Open Championship title.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

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.
