Meon Valley Hotel and Country Club is set in over 225 acres of glorious Hampshire countryside and surrounded by unspoilt villages and ancient woodlands. The 4* hotel has recently undergone a £4.5M renovation and provides extremely high level of service and comfort that can be expected of a Marriott Hotel and Country Club. Guests can fine dine in the Treetops Restaurant or enjoy the less formal atmosphere of its Brasserie ‘Zest’. The hotel is equipped with superb leisure facilities, including an indoor pool, spa bath, steam room, sauna, gym and tennis courts. Health and beauty treatments are also available. Furthermore, Meon Valley is within easy access of the M27 and M3 motorways and local attractions include Portsmouth Historic Ships, Winchester Cathedral, Beaulieu, the New Forest and Gunwharf Quays.
The club, with its two fine courses, has been established for some time as a leading golf venue, and is well loved for its relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Meon (Marriott Meon Valley)
The main course, the 18 hole Meon Championship Course at 6520 yards and par 71, is one of the best courses in the southern counties, and now a regular venue on the PGA European Seniors Tour. The par 3, 12th hole is particularly memorable, renowned for the steep slope between the elevated tee and a green which is surrounded by water. Avoid wet weather short cuts, a visiting professional once ended up waist high in the lake!

Valley (Marriott Meon Valley)
Built around the ruins of a Roman Village, and featuring well protected greens and manicured fairways it is one of the best nine hole courses to be found anywhere in the country. The layout contains a lot of variety with two par 5s and three par 3s and whilst offering a challenge for experienced golfers it is also a great track for the improving one.
