Overview

The Old Thorns Golf Course is one of the UK's most celebrated golf destinations. Opened in 1982 and designed by Peter Alliss, Dave Thomas, and Bill Rogers, it has become a must-play for golfers seeking challenge, beauty, and hospitality all in one place. Whether you're chasing a competitive round or simply enjoying the views, this course won't disappoint!

The Course

Set in the rolling Hampshire countryside, the Old Thorns Golf Course stretches over 6,581 yards (6,020 metres) as a par 72 championship layout. Expect tree-lined fairways, well-placed bunkers, and undulating greens that test every part of your game. It's a course that balances risk and reward-perfect for both seasoned players and those on a golf break.

Signature Holes

Hole 5 - Par 3: A picturesque short hole that demands precision. Elevated tee, guarded green, and panoramic views make it unforgettable.

Hole 12 - Par 5: A true test of strategy! Long hitters will fancy their chances, but water hazards and bunkers make accuracy just as important as power.

The Clubhouse

After your round, relax in the vibrant Old Thorns clubhouse. Enjoy hearty meals, refreshing drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that's ideal for groups and golf societies. With modern facilities, excellent service, and stunning views across the course, it's the perfect place to relive your best shots of the day.
