What the club says: Manor Course - Set amidst the beautiful New Forest in landscaped parkland of mature specimen trees and hardwood plantations, the Manor Course at Bramshaw Golf Club was opened in 1972. With gently undulating fairways that demand accurate tee shots, and greens are relatively small by modern day standards, the Manor Course is an excellent test of golf: there really isn't an easy hole on the Course. It is undoubtedly one of the finest and most picturesque courses in the south of England.
The Forest Course is the oldest in Hampshire dating back to around 1865. With its open aspects and rolling heathland, it is in complete contrast to its younger sibling, the Manor Course. The ever-changing scenery of humps, hollows and meandering streams test golfing skills and judgement within an idyllic setting. The prospect of a deer emerging from the trees or a mare chivvying her foal across the fairway gives the Forest Course a special and unique appeal. The roaming ponies and cattle add to the charm of the course, and many prefer to play the Forest Course for its beauty and old-fashioned test of golfing skills. Under special protection as an SSSI site, the fairways are only permitted to be cut twice per year, but the constant grazing always provides excellent playing surfaces.. if you can excuse the odd hoof print. Golf on the Forest Course has not changed in over 100 years, and neither should it.

New Forest Course
A tricky course set in the New Forest, amazing scenery and at one point fallow deer to avoid. Good clubhouse and pro shop with friendly staff.Reviewer Rating

I've played it before and it's a very nice course but it does struggle a bit with drainage (the starter forewarned that there are two huge new ditches on 6 and 16 since my last visit which hopefully will improve things a lot in the winter) and there were still a few places on the fairways that were a bit boggy, which isn't great for the height of summer! I suppose it has been rather wet of late...
Only three groups in the vicinity on the course so it was very quiet and we were round in 3h30 so a good pace of play.
And a special mention for the friendliest bartender you'll ever meet in the clubhouse bar afterwards - tell him you're a Spurs fan and you may get a 100% discount!
For those who haven't played before, there are 3 or 4 short par 4s, one of which is definitely driveable - the 12th. The tee is very close to the clubhouse, practice green etc so have a go at it and take the plaudits if you get on in one!

Forest better than the Manor
Played both courses for the first time after a very wet spell of weather. Once we had found our way to the Forest course (pro shop was no help here) we loved the experience of playing it and were pleasantly surprised at the good condition of the greens and fairways although two of the holes were closed. Just don’t expect to have perfect conditions and enjoy the surroundings. However playing on the Manor course was a different story. The ‘fairways’ were indistinguishable from the rough as they were at least 4 inches long everywhere. In fact we lost two balls in the middle of the fairway as they were hidden in the long grass. We were told they were letting the fairways grow a bit in preparation for the summer. It had been wet. Ok but don’t then charge a Green fee of £75. We felt a bit ripped off. Would happily play both courses in the summer but felt the club wasn’t particularly welcoming to visitors.Reviewer Rating

Bramshaw Golf club
I was due to play at this club today. I checked the weather and found it to be very wet. Thinking the club would be closed. I phoned and checked with the pro shop. I was told one of the courses was closed but the one our society was due to play was still open. We had paid over £900 for our game so I was a bit concerned that it would be too wet to play. It was extremely wet with free water on the course and greens. I heard a couple of people at the club say they would only close the course for society’s, when the cash till was under water. How true this is. I would never go to this course again and hope they enjoyed my £50. Contribution to the £900 we all paid. What a rip offReviewer Rating

Manor course
First time visit on a hot Saturday evening in August, playing twilight and almost had the place to ourselves. Friendly welcome and decent facilities to warm up. Course was in pretty good condition considering the historic drought and we enjoyed our game. The greens needed a cut as a bit slow although still playable and possibly a necessary approach with the hot weather. Nice scenery though and fairly interesting layout. I would return if in the area again one day.Reviewer Rating

Played the Manor course as part of an overnight stay at The Bell Inn. Also arranged to play the Forest course and the sister course at Paulton's nearby. This is a lovely course in the New Forest. Picturesque and handsome with plenty of interesting holes. The greens were absolutely immaculate.Reviewer Rating

Forest course.
A great course. What has been done with 15 is a shame. You are hitting to the wettest part of the course that fairway. Way better as a par 3 to the old green; a much better hole.Reviewer Rating

Interesting Course
The oldest course in Hampshire played over common ground in the New Forest. Some of the greens are fenced in o stop cattle and ponies from walking on them and some are not. The not's often have hoof prints otherwise the green were good but slow.A great walk in wonderful scenic surroundings just don't expect to put in a great score.

Beautiful natural course
Whilst on holiday in the New Forest we chose to play the Forest course as it sounded interesting, being the oldest course in Hampshire. We were not disappointed. The course does not look overly manicured but is in excellent playing condition. The meandering brook was a regularly returning hazard being of course very important as a welcome water supply for the ponies and pigs living on the course.We will definitely return for more golf at this course next year. In arranging (and re arranging because of wet forecast) the staff were most helpful.
Thank you Bramshaw GC!

Thoroughly enjoyable day out
We are a small society so being looked after is a priority. Michael, who was in charge on the day with the office and pro shop self isolating, was a credit to the club. The course was overall in good condition including the greens which rolled well albeit a bit slow.Overall no complaints and always a pleasant venue in the New Forest.
