Exciting News: Basingstoke Golf Club Set to Unveil New Clubhouse this Weekend

Basingstoke to open new clubhouse this weekend - Golf News


Basingstoke Golf Club is moving a step closer to the completion of its full range of new facilities with the Hampshire venue ready to open its new clubhouse this weekend.

The clubhouse – which officially opens on September 14 – will feature a large bar and dining area, with a veranda that serves up panoramic views across the course. The new professional shop will also be based here, and extended changing facilities mean members will be well-catered for. Extra conference space will also allow the club to commercialize further opportunities, acting as an extra revenue stream.

Basingstoke Golf Club, which first opened for play in 1907, relocated to a new site in the village of Dummer in 2021 – moving from nearby Kempshott Park and acquiring the land that was home to Dummer Golf Club on the outskirts of the town – before work began on a new 18-hole championship course last year. The previous layout at Dummer Golf Club has been totally redesigned, with the new downland course defined by a series of thrilling and undulating holes that sweep across rolling fairways, with several strategically placed water hazards adding to the test. While the full reopening of the club is penciled in for September 2025, ten holes were opened to members in June, with the full 18 also opening on September 14. Development is underway on a new driving range – featuring the latest teaching and ball-tracking technology – along with a short-game area and large putting green.

David Green, general manager at Basingstoke Golf Club, said: “It was so important we developed a clubhouse that has a modern feel as we look to the future, but within it will be many historical references that have been key to the character and story of Basingstoke Golf Club.”

“The clubhouse is quite a sight and will offer our members the perfect spot to unwind, with stunning views overlooking the new course, especially the 1st and 18th holes. The practice facilities will be nearby, helping to create a hive of activity as well as being convenient for those looking to warm-up before they tee off.

OPEN TO MEMBERS AND VISITORS

“A new car park will give our members and visitors more space, while the bar area and changing rooms are spacious and comfortable. The clubhouse will also be open to visitors and non-members, making it the perfect spot for families to socialize, while our food and beverage options will heighten the experience for all.

“Our soft opening of ten holes in June proved to be the start of an exciting summer and all 18 holes will come into play as the clubhouse opens. However, there is so much more to come over the course of the next year as we build towards that full reopening in the autumn of 2025.”

Meanwhile, membership inquiries have continued in a positive manner. The club has a full prospective members’ list but is excited to be taking the established membership from the old club and building on it as it looks to create a new legacy at Basingstoke.

Golf operations manager, Tom Robson, said: “Interest in becoming a member at Basingstoke is at an all-time high. We are receiving five to 10 emails with inquiries daily. These are on top of the usual emails about society bookings and function requests. With the golf course and facilities we have built, word has spread with the journey we are on to build one of the southeast’s best golf venues.

“Basingstoke Golf Club should be the place everyone wants to come and enjoy themselves, whether it be practicing on the driving range, playing an incredible golf course, or relaxing in our state-of-the-art clubhouse.”
