Course Layout

Golf is changing in many ways with constantly evolving equipment and the modern player having a lot more strength, enabling the golfer to overpower many great traditional courses. The New Forest course is designed to respond to the ever changing faces of golf. Strategy off- the-tee will be more rewarded than raw power.

The main aim of course designer Peter McEvoy was to use the natural beauty that nature has afforded the New Forest estate. Chestnut, Oak and Beech trees among others form the pure forested terrain, blending the course beautifully to highlight its natural design.

‘There are few sites more beautiful than New Forest’.

Course Specifications

The area contains a glacial deposit of sand and gravel which was used as a foundation for all fairways, green bases and trees, that give New Forest Golf Club the added bonus of good quality drainage ensuring all-year play.

Greens and tees are constructed to USGA specifications.

Greens are seeded with the latest G6 and A4 bent grass cultivars, planted at 60-40% ratio.

All trees are seeded with a 100% rye grass mix.
