Tucked away in 400 acres of rolling Hampshire countryside, Old Thorns Hotel & Resort is one of the UK’s most beloved golf estates. Offering the complete package; 4-star luxury accommodation, championship golf and outstanding facilities, Old Thorns has it all. The golf course is one of the best in the region, having seen Seve and Nicklaus play upon its fairways at its opening event, many memorable rounds have been had there since.

Located in the stunning South Downs, it is one of southern England’s most picturesque country-house-style hotels and offers exquisite accommodation, relaxing health spa facilities, fantastic cuisine and an outstanding 18-hole championship golf course, designed by the late BBC’s ‘voice of golf’, Peter Alliss.

Old Thorns Golf Club

The par-72 course has an illustrious history, as in 1982 its official inauguration saw Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus, Isao Aoki and the then reigning Open champion, Bill Rogers, play a competitive four ball. Aoki won with a round of 69 and all four scorecards can still be viewed today in the Sports Bar entrance. A round at Old Thorns then, will see you walking in the footsteps of the game’s greatest players.

Signature hole- No. 5:  Par 4, 357 yards, SI 14

From the elevated tee, Old Thorns' 5th hole gives spectacular views over the beautiful Hampshire Countryside. However, there is a much greater reason for the hole's signature hole status. The par 4 also provides much in the way of risk reward and at 357 yards from the tee, it is tempting to drive the green.  Though, with a narrow fairway this may stir a thought in your mind as to whether to play a safe iron down the fairway. A magnificent hole, leaving a great feeling of anticipation before a shot is even played!
