Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time of year to play New Forest Golf Club, considering the English weather?
We've found late spring through early autumn (May-September) offers the most reliable weather for New Forest. You'll enjoy drier fairways and the course truly shines when the heather is in bloom, though a crisp autumn day can be equally stunning. Just be prepared for potential showers any time - it is England, after all!
How challenging is New Forest Golf Club for an average golfer, and what should I expect from its layout?
New Forest offers a fair but engaging challenge, especially if you stray from the fairways into the gorse and heather - trust us, we've been there. It's not overly long, but the undulating greens and strategic bunkering demand thoughtful shot placement, making it enjoyable for mid-handicappers without being overly punishing.
Is New Forest Golf Club suitable for a walking round, and what's the pace of play like?
Absolutely, New Forest is a fantastic walking course with a gentle, rolling terrain that won't exhaust you. We've always found the pace of play to be very reasonable, especially on weekdays, allowing you to truly soak in the natural surroundings without feeling rushed.
What's the "New Forest" aspect really like on the course - will I encounter wildlife or unique natural features?
You're in for a treat - the "New Forest" isn't just a name here; it's an integral part of the experience. Expect to see the famous New Forest ponies roaming freely, often right alongside the fairways, and deer are a common sight, adding a truly unique, wild element to your round. It's a charming distraction, but remember they have right of way!
What's the post-round experience like at New Forest Golf Club - any recommendations for food or a drink?
After your round, the clubhouse at New Forest offers a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere perfect for recounting your birdies (or bogeys). We always grab a pint of local ale and a hearty sandwich - their bacon rolls are particularly good for a post-round refuel. It's a classic, comfortable English golf club experience.
