About this course
Wickham Park Golf Club sits in Fareham, Hampshire, occupying parkland that has shaped the character of the course. Designed by Jon Payn, the layout works through mature trees and rolling terrain typical of the South Coast landscape. The course balances open fairways with tree-lined corridors, creating variety across the eighteen holes and requiring both power and precision from different positions in the round. The routing takes advantage of the site's natural contours and established woodland, with water features integrated into several holes to add strategic interest. The design reflects Payn's approach to working with existing landscape features rather than imposing a rigid template, allowing the course to feel settled within its surroundings. Bunker placement and green complexes reward accurate approach play, and the variety of hole lengths provides different challenges across the card. Wickham Park serves the local golfing community in Hampshire and maintains the character of a members' club with a strong emphasis on course conditioning and playability. The parkland setting and accessible design have made it a fixture in the region, attracting golfers seeking a well-maintained course with genuine variety. The club's culture reflects the traditions of English provincial golf, with an active membership and regular competitive fixtures.

Getting there
Wickham Park Golf Club sits within easy reach of Southampton Airport (SOU), a forty-minute drive south through the gentle Hampshire countryside, or alternatively via London's major hubs - Gatwick (LGW) or Heathrow (LHR) - each roughly ninety minutes distant by car or rail. The final approach winds through the rolling parkland that defines this corner of the South Coast, where ancient woodland and manicured estates give way to the club's own verdant grounds near the village of Fareham. For those valuing discretion and convenience, Bembridge Airport on the Isle of Wight offers a private aviation alternative, with onward transfer a matter of thirty minutes across the Solent. The arrival at Wickham Park itself is marked by an unhurried transition from road to tree-lined drive, the clubhouse emerging gradually from its landscaped setting - a quiet, assured welcome befitting one of England's most respected private courses.
