Shedfield, nr Southampton, Hampshire (J7 & J10 of M27, 8 miles NE of Southampton).

The Championship Meon course is a beautifully laid out track wending its way through beautiful Hampshire countryside. There are a wide variety of holes to suit the tastes of all golfers. The signature hole is the treacherous 12th, a par 3, with a lake guarding three sides of the green. Although less than 150 yards it can be a card wrecker but a brave shot can easily yield a two on the card.

The Meon Course has hosted the European Seniors Tour and many other high profile PGA events. There is also the nine hole Valley course which is built around the ruins of a Roman Village. Featuring well protected greens and manicured fairways it is one of the best nine hole courses to be found anywhere in the country. The layout contains a lot of variety with two par 5s and three par 3s and whilst offering a challenge for experienced golfers it is also a great track for the improving one.
