The prolific Harry. S. Colt crossed into Hampshire to produce a course that is comfortably in the same league as his masterpieces in neighbouring Surrey. Blackmoor is a classic heathland course.
The Course
“I couldn’t buy a putt on Wednesday despite the greens at Blackmoor being the best greens I’ve ever putted on in this country.”
Trevor Foster, England Senior International
Blackmoor Golf Club is a traditional heathland course with heather-lined fairways interspersed with pine, birch and oak trees. It features many subtle dog-legs which add to its interest. At 6,170 yards, Blackmoor may not be the longest of courses but accuracy of drive is all-important. It is only too easy to be blocked out on the second shot!
Notable Par 3’s
The par 3’s all have the stamp of Harry Colt – namely, elevated greens well guarded by bunkers.
The course is noted for the quality of its greens throughout the year and the sloping 18th green presents a final challenge to all golfers.
