Established in 1913, Blackmoor Golf Club has matured over the past 95 years into one of the top 10 courses in hampshire.
It was originally laid out by renowned golf architect Harry Colt, whose maxim was: ‘The real test of a course: is it going to live?’
Blackmoor certainly has and is one of the 43 courses featured in the 2008 book ‘Creating Classics – The Golf Courses of Harry Colt’.
The course consists of two loops of nine holes created from heathland, with fairways surrounded by heather, pine, birch and oak trees. Colt’s design principles have stood the test of time as golf is still played over sixteen holes designed by him.
Blackmoor is home to a number of amateur and professional competitions, including the Selborne Salver which attracts both international and Walker Cup players. It is also a course often used by Hampshire Golf Union for their County Championships. From 1997 until 2003, Blackmoor was a regional qualifying course for the Open Championship where golfers from the UK, Europe, America and Africa began their quest for ‘The Claret Jug’.
The course is a delight to play… so why not try it for yourself.
