The Course

The Royal Winchester Golf Club course stretches over 6,400 yards (5,852 metres) and plays to a par 71. It's a beautifully maintained parkland layout where elevation changes, mature trees, and well-placed bunkers make for an engaging round. The natural contours of the land have been carefully preserved, creating a course that feels timeless - challenging for low handicappers yet fair for all. Excellent drainage ensures it's playable year-round, so you can enjoy it in every season.

Signature Holes

Hole 5 - "The Ridge"

A breathtaking par 4 that climbs steadily before revealing panoramic views of Winchester and the South Downs. Accuracy off the tee is key, with the green guarded by bunkers that demand precision.

Hole 14 - "Taylor's Pride"

Named after the club's designer, this long par 3 tests both nerve and club selection. Crosswinds and a narrow green make it one of the most memorable holes at Royal Winchester Golf Club.
