Brokenhurst Manor Golf Club sits just outside the village of Brockenhurst, right on the edge of the New Forest National Park in Hampshire. It's an easy one to slot into a south coast itinerary, with straightforward access from Southampton and Bournemouth.
If you like your golf framed by trees, you'll enjoy it here. The fairways are lined and the heathland feel keeps things pretty and punchy, with accuracy and sensible club selection usually paying off more than trying to overpower the place. It's the sort of course where a well-placed tee shot sets up the hole and you can score if you keep it in play.
There's a nice bit of pedigree too. Justin Rose set the course record here back in 1996 and the club later hosted an event on the Rose Ladies Series, with the inaugural tournament held at Brokenhurst Manor in June 2020. It's a good talking point for the post-round debrief.
The clubhouse has a traditional, welcoming feel and works well for societies and groups who want somewhere relaxed to eat, have a drink and swap stories afterwards. Being so close to the New Forest is a bonus if not everyone in the party is playing every day, or you fancy mixing a round with a walk in the national park.
Include Brokenhurst Manor on your next New Forest golf break as a tidy opener or a final-day round before heading home.
