Barton-on-Sea
Barton-on-Sea Golf Club: Not so much a links as a cliff-top course, although the bumps, hollows, undulations, occasional water ditches and gorse bushes, creates a real links-like feel. From most parts of the course there are wonderful views over the start of the Solent and the Isle of Wight, with the unmistakable "Needles" stretching out to the West.
Out of the 27-holes, the Becton and Needles are perhaps the best combination, with the most interesting holes on the Becton. Each of the three nines however, deserves to be played, so best to make a day of it here.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and after 9:30am on weekends.
Bookings not taken, but check ahead to ensure tee-time availability. Proof of handicap required.
Players generally walk this course.

The Isle of Wight, which is in view from most parts of the course at Barton-on-Sea, is a premier holiday and yachting destination in the south-east of England. It can be reached by car ferry from Lymington, Southampton or Portsmouth. The chalk rock stacks going out to sea and ending with the lighthouse are known as the Needles.
