Test Valley Golf Club Basingstoke

The front nine holes plays slightly shorter than the back nine and if you are to make a good score this is the side to do it. The harder holes on the front 9 are the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th holes so concentration is imperative. The 5th hole is our very own postage stamp style green playing at 148 yards and proves to be a tough target to hit your ball onto. The 8th hole is one of our feature holes and has one water hazard together with 2 very large cross bunkers to negotiate. The 9th hole is a tough par 3 all up hill at 172 yards and finishes neatly beside the clubhouse. The back nine is nearly 400 yards longer and plays slightly more difficult than the front nine. The toughest holes are the 11th, 12th, 14th and 17th holes where concentration is imperative. The 15th hole is one of our feature holes with a water hazard in front of the green. The finishing hole 18th sweeps past a water hazard on the right and two cross bunkers on the left leaving a grandstand finish in front of the clubhouse to asmall target guarded by four bunkers
