David, the organiser, would like to share some updates about Somerley Park Golf Club, located in Somerley, just 2 miles from the lovely market town of Ringwood, Hampshire. Nestled close to the New Forest National Park and only 10 miles from Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole, this club is a perfect spot for anyone passionate about golf.
Established on 1st July 1995, Somerley Park Golf Club marked its 25th anniversary in 2020. Designed by John Jacobs OBE, a key figure in Modern English Golf, the course has seen several redesigns, with the latest in 2014 introducing three new holes. The layout now includes a 10-hole woodland and parkland course, retaining three of the original holes.
For those interested in specifics, the course measures 5310 yards from the white tees and has a par of 69. There are different tees for holes 10-18, giving the feel of playing 18 different holes. The terrain is mostly flat, making it easy to walk, and it's also trolley and buggy friendly. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to golf, you’ll find a mix of challenges and enjoyment here with the narrow, tree-lined fairways and well-contoured greens.
The club's new clubhouse, opened in 2016, offers great views across the fairways and greens, giving members and guests a lovely spot to relax after their round. The friendly atmosphere at Somerley Park Golf Club is something David takes pride in, as it provides a supportive community for golfers of all levels.
There are several membership options available. David is also keen for people to experience the club first-hand, offering a trial round for a low green fee of £15. You can also try a month’s membership, with 50% of the fee refundable if you choose to become a full member.
David invites everyone to escape the daily grind and enjoy the picturesque surroundings and challenging course at Somerley Park Golf Club. Come and be part of this vibrant golfing community today.
