Royal Winchester Golf Club – no longer available

  • by Will Walker
  • April 8, 2021
Royal Winchester Golf Club view


Update 2/3/2021: The course is now closed – this walk is no longer possible.

The good people at the Royal Winchester Golf Club opened access for excercise around the perimeter of the Golf Course in early January 2021 – this should last until the Club opens again following the early 2021 lockdown.

It’s a great short walk with nice, sweeping views towards Chilbolton Avenue and a row of slightly awkward and excentric looking trees towards Lanham Lane. Enjoy whilst access is granted and observe the rules, as this is a walk on private land.
