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.
