1 Night, 1 Round
Set in 225 acres between Southampton and the South Downs, Meon Valley is one of those easy-to-book, easy-to-enjoy spots for a short golf break in the South of England. You've got two 18-hole courses on site, a proper leisure club feel and a 4-star hotel, so once you arrive you can pretty much park up and focus on the important stuff: golf, food and a bit of downtime. The resort sits in easy reach of anywhere in the region, making it a straightforward choice for golfers who want quality golf, a comfortable base and everything on site without the hassle of moving around.
The headline course is the Meon, which has a bit of pedigree having hosted senior tour-level golf in the past, so expect a sterner test than your average resort round. The Valley Course provides a more forgiving but still engaging alternative, and both are laid out in a way that suits a couple of rounds over a weekend. Off the course, the resort delivers what you'd expect from a 4-star setup: a health suite with treatment rooms, a fitness centre with pool and steam room, and two dining options that cover everything from post-round pints to sit-down evening meals.
The location works well for groups and couples alike. You're close enough to the coast and the South Downs for off-course exploring, but far enough into the countryside to feel like you've left the everyday behind. The hotel itself is built for both leisure and business travellers, so expect modern rooms, reliable service and a layout that makes sense whether you're here for golf, a spa break or both.
Who is this for?
Golfers or groups looking for a hassle-free UK golf break with quality courses, comfortable accommodation and leisure facilities all in one place, within easy reach of London and the South coast.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-low handicappers who want a proper championship test on the Meon Course, plus couples or mixed-ability groups who'll appreciate the variety, the spa facilities and the option to play a gentler round on the Valley.

The Meon Course is a regular feature on the European Seniors Tour, and is widely regarded as one of the best in the Southern counties. The 6,520 yard layout is Hampshire’s only European PGA Tour destination and is most memorable for the threatening water hazards, providing a good test for golfers of all abilities. The picturesque 12th may be the most impressive hole, a demanding downhill par-3 where the target is surrounded by water.

The Valley Course may only be a 9-hole setup, but the two loops together comprise a challenging par-70 that measures close to 6,000 yards. The picturesque course is built around a ruined Roman settlement and is maintained to the same standard as the neighbouring Meon, making it an enjoyable round for every golfer.
Meon Valley's practice centre has benefited from the recent addition of an excellent driving range, where the team of PGA professionals utilise the latest video technology for their tuition.

Meon Valley's 113 guest rooms are spread across a modern 4-star hotel that sits comfortably in the Hampshire countryside, about an hour from London and close enough to Southampton for easy access. Each room is spacious and comes with the essentials you'd expect: high-speed internet, satellite television, en-suite bathroom and enough space to unpack properly. The décor is contemporary without being flashy, and the beds are comfortable after a day walking 36 holes.
The real appeal for golfers is how much is available without leaving the grounds. The Health and Beauty Suite employs a qualified team offering everything from sports massages and body wraps to facials, manicures and pedicures, ideal if you're travelling as a couple or want to ease tired legs after a round. The fitness centre includes a swimming pool, steam room and a well-equipped gym with cardiovascular machines and free weights, while an outdoor tennis court adds another option if you fancy a break from golf.
Dining is split between two venues. The Broadstreet Restaurant is the smarter of the two and works well for a relaxed evening meal after golf, with a menu that covers modern British and European dishes. It's the go-to for evening meals, especially if you're celebrating a win or just want a proper sit-down dinner. The Clubhouse, meanwhile, is the natural post-round spot: relaxed, golfer-friendly and serving everything from sandwiches and burgers to steaks and salads, plus a decent drinks list. It's the kind of place where you can settle in after your round, compare scorecards and plan the next day's tee times without feeling rushed.
Room types range from standard doubles to executive rooms and suites, all designed with comfort in mind. The executive rooms offer a bit more square footage and upgraded furnishings, while suites add separate living areas, making them a good choice for longer stays or if you're treating the trip as something special. Whichever room you choose, you're looking at a quiet night's sleep in a countryside setting, with everything you need for a golf break within a short walk.
Everything is close together, so you can finish your round, grab a drink in the Clubhouse and be back in your room or the pool in minutes. For groups, that simple on-site setup is half the appeal.

Wouldn't recommend this place due to the rudeness of the staff and the Breakfast was cold. Golf was good and the course was in excellent condition. My group didn't enjoy there stay

The worst hotel experience I have ever had. Here are some of the low-lights: Despite travelling all morning and arriving about midday, we had to wait around for 30-45 mins to check in. On Friday evening we came down for dinner about 8pm. We had booked and reserved a table in the restaurant. We were told that there would be a wait of about an hour and a half. Whilst inconvenient, we accepted that, took the menus handed to us and went outside to enjoy a drink. About 45 mins later the chap that gave us the menus and reserved the table said they would no longer be serving food. A first for me in any hotel that I have stayed in in any part of the world. We were forced to get a taxi to the nearest town. The cost was around £150 not to mention the time and inconvenience. On the Saturday my party of 4 arrived at breakfast to chaos. There was 1 person running around trying to clear tables show guests to their seats and deal with any questions. About 20 or so members came in and helped themselves to the breakfast buffet and cleared it out meaning we had to wait for 10-15 mins whilst stocks were replenished. The breakfast was very average and the bacon was practically raw. There was stale coffee in a large canteen and the "hot" water for the tea was luke warm at best. The room was average with no air conditioning and a window that opened approx 2 inches. The staff were quite pleasant and apologetic but there was simply just not enough of them to do the job. I shall be asking for a full refund as my two days away were completely spoiled by such shoddy treatment. Apalling. I also know were were not alone - anyone I spoke to said the same thing about the service.

This was our 3rd visit to the hotel but the 1st since it has become part of the Britannia chain. In the past as a Marriott hotel, we have had a superb time. The food was great in the past as was the hospitality.When we arrived and went up to our rooms, we noticed that the corridors were lined with empty beer and wine glasses, which were still there on our departure. Dinner was pretty average on the Friday evening but served quite quickly, which was a different story all together on the Saturday when we had been sat down for an hour and only had our main course. I had ordered taxis for us to go out and had to change those times and then had to leave before the desserts came out as the taxis we had reordered for half an hour later had arrived. This was totally down to a staff shortage and lots of other guests were complaining as well. We had a bit of a fright when we went down for golf on the Saturday afternoon for our 3 tee times only for the guy in charge to tell us that we were not on the list for that day or the next. I had to go back to my room to get the details to show him. He then managed to squeeze us in at a later slot for both days. The course was great and in very good condition but due to the experience at the hotel we would probably not stay there again. I just want to add that any problems were down to the hotel and communication between departments and completely out of Your Golf Travels hands.

Lovely welcome from the reception team. Rooms were comfortable with large twin beds. The sports bar was just fine, this goes out onto a patio area over looking the 18th green Staff were all very friendly and helpful Breakfast was buffet style and gave us plenty of choice

We were very disappointed in our stay at this hotel. Although the rooms were clean and comfortable, we found the food and drink available to purchase expensive. We had a very poor experience with our evening meal. The service was very slow, as a group of 12 people only 7 starters arrived initially. We had to wait a further 30mins for the remaining 5 starters, that had to be sent back as the soup was cold. When we got our main courses 90 mins after sitting down, the food was dry and disappointing. The hotel was not keen to offer any compensation to our group for this very poor meal.

Our weekend away with friends (4 golfers in all) at Meon
Valley was very enjoyable...despite the weather! We were fortunate enough to
play the championship course at Meon Valley on the Saturday. This is a good
test of golf for all levels of golfers, with some stunning par 3 holes and some
dog leg holes which were really challenging. At Meon Valley it’s more about
where to put the ball rather than simply standing up and blasting it!
The hotel was great value for money – dinner was well served, there was a good
choice on the menu, wine was a little pricey, but overall the dining experience
was very good. Breakfast was a feast, with anything and everything you could
think of to choose from!
The people at Your Golf Travel were great to speak to, knowledgeable and very
responsive to our requirements (Golf, beer, food, bed, more golf!). It’s always
reassuring when everything clicks into place and we will certainly be in
contact with you guys for our next golf break.

Another enjoyable round on The Valley course but the tees were a bit tired. Some great holes on this one as well.

On arrival we checked in to the golf shop, who had no record of our bookings for our two rounds of golf, so please make sure you take some form of confirmation with you. We had to settle for tee times that were spare rather than the ones we had reserved. The golf course is lovely and the reason why we came to Meon, so thats a good start. Unfortunately if you are playing on a Sunday expect a 6 hour round, we gave up on the 15th after over 5 hours. No marshals to monitor play so this took the shine off our experience. We had a little moan to the golf shop who gave the impression that it was tough luck. On the Monday I explained our experiences to the golf shop staff and said that we had booked through YGT and the reply was " Its nothing to do with us". No apology, no lets see what we can do to make your experience better. Unfortunately this has made me rate the staff lower than I would normally. Im sure this is a one off experience and anyone thinking of going to Meon should judge it for themselves, for the record Mondays golf was the usual 4 hours

Having booked 2 rounds on the 18 hole championship course with confirmed tee times, we were very disappointed that no tee times had been booked and we had to play on the 9 hole academy course with front 9 holes only of championship course. This 9 hole course was not of the same standard as the 18 hole course, and we were disappointed with the course and greens. The main course was in good condition, however the overall experience was let down by the lack of organisation.
