Golf
There are several beautiful courses in the New Forest which offer picturesque scenery whilst you tee off amongst contrasting woodland or open heath. Well known golf courses include: The Forest at Bramshaw. (The oldest in Hampshire). Set amongst the beautiful scenery of the New Forest. The course is both wooded and New Forest heath with far reaching views across the South coast. The newer course at Bramshaw Manor – which shares the same clubhouse as ‘The Forest’ provides a contrasting course. Dunwood Manor - close to the New Forest has undergone recent changes to improve its course. The New Forest - is another countryside New Forest heath course. This was started in 1888 . Travelling further south across the forest is Brokenhurst Manor. Dating back to 1919 this is again a pretty forest/parkland course. There is also the relatively new South Winchester course which was developed during the early 1990’s and is open all year round. Finally the Royal Winchester is a more traditional parkland type course first built in 1888 close to the city of Winchester.
