Description

The Rose Bowl County Golf Club is one of Hampshire’s best kept secrets. Established in 1999 and set in rolling countryside, our course offers an interesting challenge to players of all abilities.

Currently a 9 holes course with twin tees, it easily plays as an 18 holes course.......however plans are underway to extend the course in 2011. The well established course, offers well maintained and challenging greens in pleasant and attractive surroundings.

We embrace all the traditional qualities of a golf club promoting friendliness, quality and enjoyment of the game.The Rose Bowl County Golf Club is open to Members and Visitors. Societies are also welcome - Many packages available, incorporating golf and cricket days, night golf and charity events.

Pleasantly surprised

This is a 9 hole loop that you play twice off different tees. It is part of the Hampshire CC Rose Bowl complex. It is currently being developed into an 18 hole course (along with resort hotel etc, etc) and there is a fair amount of disruption from passing lorries at present. However, the course itself is in great nick - lush manicured fairways and great undulating putting surfaces - good bunkers as well. It is relatively short but far from easy (my first visit). The 4/13th is one of the most scenic holes in the area - a sweeping uphill par4 where anything short of the green runs right back down the fairway almost to your feet! I enjoyed the course much more than I expected and would recommend it to others although please don't expect too much of the the "clubhouse" and practice facilities until the upgrade is complete (another 4 years away apparently!).
