Set in the North Wessex Downs, Sandford Springs Hotel & Golf Club is a cracking option if you want a proper golf escape in the South of England, without a long trek. You're roughly an hour from London but it feels a world away once you're out on the property.
It's a neat set-up for groups and weekenders, pairing 4-star accommodation with 27 holes on site, plus the sort of facilities that make the trip easy from the moment you arrive. The clubhouse looks out across the course, there's a driving range for loosening up and the restaurant and bar are ideal for the post-round recap.
Location-wise, you're right on the edge of Berkshire and Hampshire, so it works well for mixed groups coming from different directions. If you like variety across a couple of rounds, the three loops of nine mean you can mix and match without feeling like you're just repeating the same day twice.
The hotel picked up TripAdvisor's 2020 Travellers' Choice award thanks to a genuinely peaceful atmosphere and staff who know how to look after golfers. With 40 en-suite rooms presented to 4-star standard, the property combines quality accommodation with direct access to the golf, making it ideal for weekend breaks, society trips or longer stays exploring the best of southern England golf.
