Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Bramshaw Golf Course stand out from other courses in England?
You'll find Bramshaw truly stands out because it offers two distinct courses, the ancient Forest Course and the more modern Manor Course, all set within the stunning New Forest National Park. It's rare to get such contrasting experiences at one club, plus the added charm of free-roaming ponies and deer on the fairways.
When's the best time of year to play Bramshaw, especially considering the New Forest setting?
We always recommend visiting Bramshaw in late spring or early autumn; the weather is usually pleasant, and the New Forest scenery is absolutely breathtaking. You'll avoid the peak summer crowds and enjoy firmer conditions, which makes navigating those tricky Forest Course lies much more enjoyable.
What are the must-know challenges or signature holes at Bramshaw?
The Forest Course is where you'll face Bramshaw's most unique challenges - think natural undulations, ancient trees, and those famous New Forest animals acting as unexpected hazards. On the Manor Course, look out for the demanding par-3 17th, where precision is key to avoiding the water and securing a good score.
Is Bramshaw Golf Course good value for money, and what should I expect to pay?
Absolutely, Bramshaw offers excellent value, especially considering you get access to two very different 18-hole courses. Green fees are typically mid-range for an English course, and you're paying for a truly unique New Forest golf experience that you won't find just anywhere.
Any practical advice for playing Bramshaw, especially for first-timers?
When you play Bramshaw, definitely keep an eye out for the New Forest ponies and deer; they have right of way, so be patient and enjoy the unique wildlife interaction. We also suggest booking your tee times well in advance, especially if you plan to play both courses, as they can get busy.
