Leckford Golf Club

18 Hole Golf Course

Leckford Golf Club is set in the charismatic village of the same name, sited overlooking the River Test; the river world famous for the quality of the trout fishing.  The golf club is unique in many respects, comprising two distinct nine hole courses, each of which was designed by the most influential course architect of their age.  In the Edwardian era, Harry Colt was supreme, and in the modern Elizabethan age Donald Steel reigned, and the work of both is captured in the two courses at Leckford.

The estate and the golf club is owned by the John Lewis Partnership, it is operated primarily for the use of Partners, their families and guests.  The Old Course was opened in 1929 and it has remained much as Colt designed it.  It is recognised as one of the finest and most challenging nine hole courses in the country, and fully justifies the description of being a 'hidden gem'.  The New Course is modern and creates the ideal complement to the Old, and the terrain of both is ideal, flint based chalk downland, with perfect drainage and excellent turf growing characteristics.  This means that the course is playable all the year round, and only snow or very severe frost close them for play.

There is no pay and play option at the club, but visitors can play the course as members of golf societies, who are welcomed at the club.  Many are regular visitors, returning each year to enjoy the challenge of the Leckford courses.  A minimum number of eight players are required to book for one of the society packages.
