Four Marks Golf Course

Four Marks Golf Course sits in the gently rolling countryside of Hampshire, between Alton and Alresford in south-central England. The course was designed through a collaborative effort involving Don Wright, Falloon, and Wrigglesworth, though detailed records of the specific design timeline and individual contributions are not widely documented in major golf architecture references. The layout takes advantage of the area's characteristic chalk downland topography, with fairways that move across moderate elevation changes typical of this part of Hampshire. The course occupies land that reflects the agricultural heritage of the region, where open farmland transitions into wooded sections. Players encounter a mix of holes that require thoughtful club selection given the undulating terrain, with some elevated tees and greens that make distance judgment important. The natural drainage properties of the chalk-based soil help maintain playable conditions throughout much of the year, a practical consideration in the English climate. Four Marks serves primarily as a members' club with visitor access, typical of many courses in this part of Hampshire. The facility caters to golfers from the surrounding towns and villages, offering a local venue that balances accessibility with the challenge of playing over varied ground. The course does not appear in national rankings or major tournament rotations, but functions as a community golf resource in an area where the sport has a steady following among residents and those visiting the broader Alton area.
