About Wickham Park Golf Course

Wickham Park Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland course on Titchfield Lane in the village of Wickham, near Fareham, Hampshire, set in the Meon Valley. Opened in 1991 and designed by Jon Payne, it plays to a par of 69 over 5,868 yards, with a relatively level, tree-lined layout that puts a premium on accuracy and course management rather than raw distance. Compact greens and well-placed water hazards make approach play the main test.

The 2nd is a demanding 402-yard dogleg par 4 guarded by a ditch and bunker; the 12th is a 140-yard par 3 played from an elevated tee over a pond; and the signature 17th is a 198-yard uphill par 3 to a two-tiered green, generally regarded as the course's defining hole. Practice facilities include a Toptracer-equipped driving range, a 50-70 yard chipping area and a separate putting green. The clubhouse offers a bar menu and patio seating.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 69, 5,365m (5,868 yards). Designed by Jon Payne, the course originally opened in 1991. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Golf Lessons, Driving Range, Pro Shop, Putting Green, Chipping Area, Restricted Membership.

Origins

Wickham Park opened in 1991, one of a wave of privately built parkland courses that appeared across southern England in the late 1980s and early 1990s as demand for golf outstripped the supply of older members' clubs. The course was laid out by architect Jon Payne on farmland in the Meon Valley outside the village of Wickham, a few miles north of Fareham. The site's gentle, relatively flat terrain shaped a course that plays shorter than most 18-hole layouts, at a par of 69 over 5,868 yards, but Payne's routing compensates with tighter, tree-lined corridors and small greens rather than length.

Design Philosophy

The design rewards placement over power. Fairways are lined with mature trees and several holes are guarded by ditches, ponds or bunkers positioned to catch shots that miss the safe line rather than to punish short hitters. The par-69 routing includes a run of tightly bunkered short holes, and its compact greens put a premium on distance control with the irons.

The 17th, a 198-yard uphill par 3 to a two-tiered green with out of bounds left and a bunker right, is generally treated as the course's signature hole, while the elevated tee shot on the 12th and the dogleg 2nd are the other holes most often singled out by golfers as the ones that decide a round.

Today

Wickham Park is operated by Crown Golf, a group of courses across southern England and Cornwall, and functions as a semi-private club: it carries a full membership structure alongside general online booking of visitor tee times. In recent years the club has added a Toptracer-tracked driving range alongside its existing chipping and putting practice areas, reflecting a broader shift toward pay-and-play and practice-focused facilities at commercially run UK clubs of its era.
