Green Fees in Hampshire: What Golf Costs in 2026

The short answer

Plan on 120 to 210 pounds for Hampshire's headline courses in summer 2026. Liphook, the county's regular in the national top 100 lists, is around 210 pounds. Hayling, the south coast's true links, charges 145 pounds Monday to Thursday and 165 Friday to Sunday, with twilight from 85. Blackmoor, the pick of the inland heathlands for value, is about 120 pounds on its midweek visitor days. The celebrated members' clubs, North Hants at Fleet and Stoneham at Southampton, take visitors too, mostly on weekdays, with rates confirmed on enquiry.

The figures below are indicative summer rates for 2026. Winter and shoulder fees drop sharply, several clubs restrict visitor days rather than raise prices, and everything moves with demand, so treat this as a guide and always confirm directly before booking.

The marquee names, and what to know

Hayling is the reason to come. Founded in 1883 and shaped by Tom Simpson, it is the only true links for miles of this coast, a fast running, free draining course through genuine dunes at the mouth of Chichester Harbour, and at 145 to 165 pounds in summer 2026 it is one of the cheapest proper links experiences in southern England. The club asks for an active handicap, recommends 28 or better, and closes to visitors over the Christmas fortnight. Note that green fee payments are non refundable once booked.

Liphook, straddling the county border in the sand and heather country south of Hindhead, is Hampshire's national top 100 entry at around 210 pounds, a strategic, old school heathland that rewards thought over power. Blackmoor at Bordon, a Harry Colt design from 1913 with one of the best sets of par 3s in the south, is the connoisseur's value play at about 120 pounds midweek. North Hants in Fleet, the club where Justin Rose grew up, and Stoneham, the Willie Park Jr course above Southampton that staged the first Dunlop Masters in 1946, round out a county that quietly holds its own against anywhere south of London.

Where the value lies

Hampshire's trick is that its best golf undercuts the Surrey heathland belt by a third or more on the same band of sand. Play Liphook and Blackmoor back to back and you have a world class heathland day for less than a single round at the famous Surrey names. Hayling's twilight rate from 85 pounds buys a summer evening on a true links, county cards bring midweek concessions, and the winter game on Hayling's free draining turf is one of the south's better kept secrets, priced to reflect the season. Base in Winchester or the South Downs, fold in the New Forest for the non golfers, and the county makes a rich, unhurried three or four day trip. That is how we plan it.
