Skylark Golf and Country Club


About this course
Skylark Golf and Country Club occupies gently rolling countryside in Whiteley, a modern development area situated between Southampton and Portsmouth in southern Hampshire. The course was established in the late twentieth century as part of a residential and leisure complex, reflecting the expansion of golf facilities in the region during that period. The layout navigates relatively modest terrain typical of the Hampshire lowlands, with mature woodland boundaries and water features incorporated into the design. The routing takes advantage of the natural undulations and tree cover, creating a parkland character that blends manufactured elements with the existing landscape. Several holes incorporate strategic water hazards, while others play through corridors of established trees that define playing corridors and frame approach shots. The course serves both members and visitors, functioning as a community amenity within the broader Whiteley development. Skylark operates as a members' club with a traditional clubhouse offering dining and social facilities. The course caters to a range of abilities and hosts regular club competitions and social golf events. Its location near major population centers and motorway access makes it accessible for golfers across the south Hampshire region, and the facility includes practice areas and coaching services typical of modern golf clubs in England.

Getting there
The journey to Skylark Golf and Country Club begins at Southampton Airport (SOU), a mere twenty minutes' drive west through the New Forest's edge, or alternatively via London's major hubs - Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) - each roughly ninety minutes south by car through the Hampshire countryside. For those arriving by private aviation, Bembridge Airport on the Isle of Wight and Goodwood Aerodrome offer discreet alternatives within the region. The final approach winds through the quiet villages and wooded lanes of the New Forest periphery, where the landscape softens from motorway to rural Hampshire, before arriving at the club's understated entrance in Whiteley - a setting that captures the English golf tradition of discretion and natural beauty woven seamlessly into the English South Coast's verdant fabric.
