Nestled in the heart of the New Forest National Park, The Bell Inn is immersed in natural
beauty, the perfect destination to escape the real world for a few days. For golfers, it just
keeps getting better; The Bell Inn is home to the Bramshaw Golf Club where you will find two
distinct but outstanding golf courses complimented by sister course, Paultons Golf Centre,
which hosts a modern 18 hole Championship course.
The Forest Course is not just the oldest course at The Bell Inn but in all of Hampshire, dating
back to 1865, the course has only improved with age. After a round, you’ll step off of the
fairways and into the comfort of the Grade 2 Listed country inn, where you are treated to a
warm welcome and some of the best cuisine in the region.

Bramshaw's Forest Course is the oldest in Hampshire, having been constructed on common
land in 1865. The idyllic landscape dictates the style of the course, which encompasses numerous humps, hollows and meandering streams. The heathland of the New Forest make the course relatively open, but the small targets and tight fairways ensure that this a considerable test.
For anyone who's played common land golf, the Forest Course is golf in its purest form. While ponies and cattle graze on the heath, golfers are eased in to their round on a tricky front nine which is followed up by a trio of testing long par fours on the homeward stretch. Although the course appears short on the card, three of the five par-threes measure over 200 yards and pinpoint accuracy is required to negotiate the many streams and small greens. Whilst approach shots need to be accurate, off the tee you’ll be met with friendly wide open fairways. When you play can you spot the big 5? Deer, Pigs, Cows, Donkeys, New Forest Ponies.
The Manor Course, opened in 1970, has added considerably to Bramshaw Golf Club, and is
entirely different in style to its neighbour; the Manor is carved into the mature woodland of a 200 year-old hardwood plantation, and as a result accurate driving is the most valuable asset. The gently undulating fairways lead to some of the best putting surfaces in the South.
This array of options makes the Bell Inn an extremely interesting option for your next golf break in the South.
Just a 10 minute drive away is Paultons Golf Centre, the jewel in the crown at here the stunning Championship course which measures 6,238 yards off the back tees. It provides sweeping, open fairways along with woodland scenery, delivering a fun and rewarding challenge for golfers of all abilities.

This is a great place to stay and not just for the golf, our room was a good size for 2 guys at over 6'. The staff were very friendly and helpful there was never any waiting for service. but the big winner for both of us was the restaurant and food (albeit a pricey) both dinner and breakfast

Our golf break, staying in the Bell Inn was a great success.
We were greeted by very friendly staff and members, as well as some excellent weather. The accommodation was excellent with good food but we will probably order from the menu next time rather than take the golfer's menu.
We decided to play the Forest Course twice as the tee time for the Tuesday was a bit of a wait. This is an excellent course though, with the added hazard of New Forest ponies and cows! As the oldest course in Hampshire it certainly felt like how golfing used to be and none the worse for it. Scoring 42 points on the first round I was certainly happy!
The Manor Course was quite busy with competitions but we will be happy to return and book tee times that allow us to take in both courses next time.
A great couple of days.

only 10 holes open due to wet weather, still very boggy in places. A good parkland course in a lovely wooded setting. Will return to play the whole course soon.

course was extremely wet, puddles and running water. 2 holes were closed. Several greens had animal hoof prints on them, probably to be expected on a common ground course. A very enjoyable course, being heathland the water was not a great problem as the ground was firm. Worth a visit

This course was a weird experience but great fun, you have a tee and a green (both in really good con.)and the natural heathland in between including ponies and cows. Definitely worth a visit for a new golf experience.

Enjoyable course, fairways could do with a trim but it is early in the season and has been wet so far so understandable.

Complete opposite to the Manor course experience. Different member of staff allowed us to play ahead of a large society. We sped round and thoroughly enjoyed the round.

Initial impression from Pro shop was poor. Member of staff wasvnot accommodating. Caused us to therefore have nearly a five hour round which is not acceptable for a two ball.
