Stayed at the Bell Inn on a 3 day break in a party of 14(The hotel is excellent and the food is superb) and played Dunwood Manor plus the 2 Bramshaw courses. The Manor course is set in mature woodland and is superbly manicured with some lovely holes and great greens.Would recommend this course to anybody. The Forest course is completely different being set on heathland with ponies roaming around. Some very good holes with streams cut in front of the greens(course planner required) - This really was how golf used to be played.Opinion was split amongst our party, some loved it and some would not play it again, but all agreed it was an experience to remember.

Played both Manor and Forest courses in 1 day for £40.

Heavy rain for days beforehand left Manor course still very playable, with its drainage and good paths. Glad of the buggy to shelter in during the rain. The Forest course was not so good in these conditions with the first hole being 75% muddy animal hoof holes and droppings. I'm told that during the summer it is a great course but being unmanaged countryside, it really suffers from the rain, mud and animals in bad weather. It is beautiful and an incredible experience but as with golf in olden times, the fairways are not defined and you can't expect a good lie from a good shot, so don't play if the weather is bad or if you are trying to keep a low score, or if you don't have a sense of humour when your ball ends up teed on a horse dropping. We are having a society weekend at Bramshaw soon and have now decided NOT to play the Forest course as part of of our competition as it would be unfair.

Welcome was very good and clubhouse/food excellent.

An excellent venue with two very contrasting courses. The Manor is a good challenge with both fairways and greens in very good condition. One or two very short par 4's let the course down slightly but well worth playing. Even on a Saturday afternoon we got round in well under 4 hours so speed of play not a problem.

The Forest course is a much different proposition. I enjoyed the challenge but would not want to play it very often. The course to and fros across the open land of the New Forest with holes often cut into the edge of the open spaces. Some interesting approach shots across rocks and steams. Worth playing for the experience and the scenery.

Have played both courses in summer & winter, and would recommend to others. I think average, not good, value for money. Few clubs could boast such a contrast between its courses- the Manor always immaculate and a good challenge for all but the best I imagine, with some tight drives and well-positioned bunkers protecting the (excellent) greens. The Forest a great experience, very open with ponies galore. Would expect to shoot 2-3 shots lower than handicap, but enough tricky holes to keep you honest. Can play very short in dry spells- but a real muddy slog in the depths of winter. A friendly and welcoming place as well in my experience

Stayed at the Superb Bell Inn (The welcome and the food is superb) and then played the 2 Bramshaw courses. The Manor course is set in mature woodland and is superbly manicured with some lovely holes and great greens. The Forest course is completely different being set on heathland with ponies roaming around. Some of the holes were amazing with streams cut in front of the greens - This really was how golf used to be played.

I recently stayed at the Bell Inn for a golfing weekend. We played Dunwood Manor, which was a lovely course in very good condition. It is quite hilly in parts which is a contrast to the courses at the Bell Inn. The Manor course at the Bell Inn is quite challenging. The Forest course is very open, but does have some tricky holes. It is certainly easier if you have played it before. The accommodation and food at the Bell Inn was excellent. I would recommend this venue to anyone who is planning a golfing weekend.
