The Golf

The Meon course at this 27 hole resort has hosed Senior Tour events and is now complemented by the Valley 9 hole course. The 6520 yard par 71 Meon course is surrounded by mature trees and the signature hole is the daunting 153 yard par 3 12th. It doesn't sound it until you reach the elevated tee looking down towards an upturned saucer green with a large lake alongside as protection.

An accurate tee shot is a prerequisite. The 2879 yard par 35 Valley course is picturesque but challenging; particularly with the demanding par 5 7th hole. This is surrounded by out of bounds and demands an accurate drive over a ravine with out of bounds on the right, which then snakes over to the left for the second shot and finally lies in wait behind the green for overhit approaches.
