About Old Thorns

Old Thorns Manor Hotel, Golf & Country Estate is tucked away in 400 acres of rolling Hampshire countryside and is one of southern England's most picturesque golf resorts, and offers luxury accommodation, relaxing health spa facilities, fantastic cuisine and an outstanding 18-hole championship golf course, designed by the BBC's 'voice of golf' and club president, Peter Alliss.

The championship golf course ranges across the rolling hills of the north Hampshire countryside and has mature trees, natural springs, lakes and testing bunkers, giving real character to the course which, while kind to the less experienced golfer, holds some surprises for the player who enjoys a challenging round in a classic English landscape.

The par 72 course has an illustrious history, as plans for its development started in 1976 and came to fruition in 1981 when Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas, completed the construction of the course they had painstakingly designed. A year later its official inauguration saw Seve Ballesteros, Jack Nicklaus, Isao Aoki and the then reigning Open Champion, Bill Rogers, play a competitive four ball.

Recent developments at the resort has seen a brand new champagne and cocktail bar, new restaurants, sports bar and conference facilities.
