Moors Valley Golf Course occupies a wooded site on the edge of the New Forest near Ringwood in Dorset, designed by Martin Hawtree and opened in the mid-1990s. The course was developed as part of a broader country park initiative, integrating golf into a landscape of heathland and pine forest that characterizes this corner of southern England. Hawtree's design works within the natural topography, routing holes through corridors of mature trees and across gently rolling terrain typical of the region. The layout features a mix of parkland and heathland characteristics, with several holes playing through pine-framed fairways and others opening onto more exposed heather-lined ground. Water comes into play on a number of holes, including ponds and streams that add strategic interest to approach shots and require careful club selection. The course is designed to accommodate golfers of varying abilities, with multiple tee positions that allow the layout to stretch or contract depending on skill level. Moors Valley functions as a public-access facility within the country park, serving both local members and visiting golfers exploring Dorset's golf offerings. The setting provides a relatively tranquil environment despite its accessibility, with the surrounding woodland and park amenities creating a family-friendly atmosphere. The course represents a practical example of Hawtree's work in integrating golf design with broader recreational landscapes, maintaining playability while respecting the natural character of the New Forest fringe.
