Wed February 08 2012
Test Valley Golf Club is south west of Basingstoke located 1.5 miles south of Overton with easy access from the A303 Micheldever Station and Overton turn off 1.5 miles away. The club proves to be a popular venue for golfers to meet as it is highly accessible travelling from London, Reading, Oxford, Bath and Southampton, using the nearby major routes such as M3, A34 and A303.
Located in idyllic country side the course was designed in 1991 by John Wright and European Tour Veteran Eamon Darcy. The Par 72 course measures 6714 yards from the championship tees and 6053 yards from the tees of the day. The Ladies course measures 5558 yards and we also have a blue course ideal for juniors, beginners and seniors measuring 5132. These teeing options make the course a challenging but fair test of golf for all abilities.
When first opened the course was regarded as an inland links due to its fine tight turf on the Rye grass fairways. As Test Valley has matured it now plays like a downland course and has been rewarded with an excellent reputation for its all year round play whatever the weather conditions due to the exceptional drainage.
The course possesses some prominent bunkers and water features with a fantastic mix of long and short holes ensuring that no two holes are the same. The two loops of nine return neatly to the clubhouse and gently meander through stunning Hampshire countryside ensuring Members and visitors alike enjoy their golf with us at Test Valley.
