Played by NCG: Old Thorns Golf Club
Reason for a Old Thorns Golf Club review
Where is Old Thorns?
Old Thorns is close to the A3 between Hindhead and Petersfield. That means you can get here easily from Hampshire’s south coast and London alike.
What to expect
My best bit
What to look out for
The views. You can be seduced for some of the elevated tees so once it’s time to play, zone in on the task at hand. Otherwise you’ll be playing your next shot from the trees. Or reloading.
When I go back
I will try to fly the tree on the right off the 1st tee. You can’t tell on your visit visit, but the green is pretty much just on the other side. A short pitch sounds better than being 150 yards away and blocked out by the tree.
