- Dunwood golf club is located just
on the outskirts of Romsey and the
New Forest
although not a very long par 70 parkland course it has a
number changes of elevation which will test anyone’s
stamina. The clubhouse is rather old but the facilities
are adequate but the pro shop lacked the popular makes
of products. Service staff and members were very
friendly towards us and the food served was excellent.
- The course starts off with a gentle
up hill par four with trees down both sides and out of
bounds on the right, this is followed by difficult
dogleg par five second which has a very narrow tee shot.
The next 147 yard par three is the first of six par
threes on the card. There are several other nice holes
on the front nine but it becomes more interesting as you
come on to the back nine which has splendid views over
the valley and beyond. The twelve is a very testing par
three at 200 yards you are overlooking the valley and
the green below which seems very small from the tee. This
is followed by a couple of holes you can let rip with
your driver but both have hidden dangers is you should
miss the fairway. There is also a lake along side the 15th
which is only 330 yards long and you will find you ball
heading towards it as if it was magnetised. The course
finishes with a couple of easy holes to pick up some
points and ends with a lovely par three from an elevated
tee towards the green by the clubhouse.
