About Barton on Sea Golf Club

Barton-on-Sea Golf Club is a private members' club with visitor access on the Hampshire coast. Founded in 1897, it now has 27 holes arranged as three nine-hole loops: Becton, Needles and Stroller. The club attributes its classic course architecture to Harry Colt's 1932 design, while J.

Hamilton Stutt created additional holes in 1992 to form the modern 27-hole configuration. From the white tees, Becton measures 3,140 yards and plays to par 36, Needles measures 3,303 yards at par 36, and Stroller measures 3,096 yards at par 35. The club describes the terrain as coastal golf with natural contours, firm-running turf and a links-style character, while the underlying ground provides strong natural drainage.

The course is a 27-hole links golf course. Designed by Harry Colt, the course originally opened in 1897. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Club Fitting, Clubhouse.

Origins

Barton-on-Sea Golf Club dates to 1897. The club's present architectural identity is strongly associated with Harry Colt, whose 1932 work forms the classic foundation of the course.

Did You Know?
The present course can be assembled into three different 18-hole combinations from the Becton, Needles and Stroller nines.

Design Philosophy

The club describes the course as using natural contours, coastal winds and firm-running turf to create a links-style form of golf. The three nines vary in par and length rather than being interchangeable copies.

Development

A major expansion came in 1992 when J. Hamilton Stutt created additional holes, allowing Barton-on-Sea to operate the present 27-hole configuration. The holes are now organised into the Becton, Needles and Stroller loops.

Today

Barton-on-Sea remains a private members' club that accepts visitors. Its 27-hole arrangement supports nine-hole rounds and multiple 18-hole combinations.
