The magnificent Old Thorns golf course in Hampshire winds its way through the verdant rolling hills of the estate and offers fantastic views at every turn. Mature trees, natural springs, lakes and testing bunkers give real character to the course which, while kind to the less experienced golfer, holds some surprises for the golfer who enjoys a challenging round. The par 72 course has an illustrious history. Plans for its development started in 1976 and came to fruition in 1981, when Peter Alliss, now Honorary President of the Club, and Dave Thomas completed the course they had so carefully planned. On 10th July 1982 a high profile opening fourball was played, in front of a large crowd, between four of the greatest golfers in history. Isao Aoki won the event with a score of 69, beating Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros and then Open Champion, Bill Rogers.

Following a multi-million pound refurbishment, Old Thorns is now a premier golfing retreat, benefitting from modern amenities and stunning leisure facilities. Situated in a 400-acre country estate, Old Thorns Hotel in Hampshire enjoys a wonderful location overlooking its own championship golf course. The elevated positions of many of the holes offer spectacular views across the glorious Hampshire countryside. Originally a 17th-century farmhouse and now a cosy hotel that retains much of its original charm. Each of the 33 en-suite bedrooms are beautifully furnished and has everything you need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable.

The Old Thorns Leisure Club has something for everyone whether you choose to pamper yourself with an indulgent beauty treatment, a stimulating work-out or simply relax by the pool - it is the perfect haven. Residents enjoy complimentary use of the Leisure Club's leisure facilities during their stay, including use of the large indoor pool, sauna, steam room and fitness centre.
