0800 043 6644Today, the current 27 holes are a combination of the original Harry Colt 18-hole layout from 1932 and the more modern 9-hole addition, in 1992, made by the renowned golf course architect J. Hamilton Stutt, who was a founding member of the Association of British Golf Course Architects.
Each of the 27-holes offers a great challenge for golfers of all handicaps with the added advantage of being able to boast a selection of three different 18-hole combinations with unrivaled views of the coast on each hole. The three loops of nine at Barton-on-Sea are named the Becton, Needles and Stroller respectively.
Barton-on-Sea is also able to boast a superb clubhouse, nestled next to the lake and an island green (one of the highlights of the course), which offers commanding views across the Solent to the Needles on the Isle of Wight, along to Old Harry Rocks at Swanage. It provides something for everyone - whether you are looking for a delicious lunch in the luxurious 120 cover dining room or just a relaxing drink on the balcony - the clubhouse at Barton-on-Sea is sure to impress any golfer on a tour of the Bournemouth area.

Very nice course with some great views. In nice condition and fairly well signposted. Food was good value in the clubhouse. Will be back to play again.
Great course in great condition despite all the rain and amazing views. Staff in the shop were really helpful and made a great venue even better
As above
I loved this course, everything felt just right for me. Lovely bar & clubhouse, staff very welcoming.
This course was played in a VERY high wind...its a links on a cliff so with that wind it was always going to be tricky....however it was delight to play, very straight forward in the holes and I would recommend you going....all the facilities were top notch. HOWEVER.....and I may have been told this and forgot by YGT and I will go back and see in my correspondence, but when we got there the "confirmed time" we had on our last YGT confirmation was not the case....they do not really reserve times and as they were busy that day with matches and other members, we could have struggled to get on. In fact it was just as well we got there early for lunch and checked in because thy got us out early to miss a club match. They told me that have this all the time and have told YGT not to confirm times but to go and see the pro as soon as you turn up. So please go and play this lovely course but make sure you get your time.
Third time at Barton and enjoy this lovely links. Views are stunning. Food was a little disappointing this time round (soggy burger rolls stuck to napkins) which is not our usual experience- it’s normally fab. Staff are very nice and members very welcoming.
Unfortunately due to adverse weather, sea mist and torrential rain we only completed 9 holes (Needles) but it held up well and all enjoyed the experience. We will return to complete the course another year and hopefully appreciate the location and views which were non existent this time.
Very windy so difficult to play on our visit but fun nevertheless
Great
Great Course - Great experiences had by all- Hence returned for 2nd year running!
Unfortunately two holes were closed on the needles so we played the Becton and Stroller. Great views and course ok greens were poor due to hollow tining. Always fun to play.
Wonderful golf course will definitely look to return one day.
Another lovely course. Perfect condition with great greens.
Very enjoyable course would return to play again, very welcoming staff and friendly.
the course has 3 nine holes,we played Becton and Needles,very good course, excellent quick Greens, great views over the coast, we will play again but a Buggy is a must as a long hilly walk.
A great course in good condition. Good practice facilities, which was good because we were 4 hours early. So an hour on the range, chipping green, putting green, nice lunch and then back on the range. An interesting sea side links/heathland course, would definitely recommend.
We were lucky and played on a sunny day with no wind. It would play a lot harder if the wind picked up.
Complete contrast to IOP. Brilliant reception pointing out everything we needed to know. Bar staff very friendly. Course beautifully maintained and stunning views Of all 3 courses played, would definitely re-visit this one first
Lovely views, the two nines we played were in good condition with fairly generous fairways. Pro shop staff very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the impressive looking clubhouse was closed due to Covid so weren't able to visit it.
Very enjoyable would go back probably change the hotel and a couple of courses
Recommend this course and would play again. We played the Becton and Needles of the three 9 hole courses available. Great views of the Isle of Wight and Bournemouth. Again this was booked for a different day and later tee time, not what was originally requested and as it was our last day it meant we were later home than planned. Greatly inconvenienced.
Wonderful views and a great course lay out but the fairways are struggling.
We were meet by Derick the starter/ranger first class person he gave us all the details we needed we had a very nice game of golf.
First time visiting this course and will return. Well received by the staff and catering good.
