Hilton Southampton – Utilita Bowl

Really nice hotel. Our room overlooked the course. From the bar and restaurant the view was over the Hampshire cricket stadium. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was large enough and bed comfortable. Nice place to stay.

Very good Hotel, staff really friendly, good rooms, great food only downside having to pay £5.00 for parking

Really amazing hotel and spacious rooms! Amazing breakfast too!

Some of the rooms had varied facilities (some had fridges some didn’t, all rooms were same standard. But overall it’s a Hilton you get what you expect from them.

Good complex. Bar and restaurant a bit pricey. Fantastic spread for breakfast. Rooms comfy and check in very efficient

Stayed here as part of a golf trip, hotel and staff were amazing, only had breakfast as ate in town in evening, but was plenty of choice. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel was great, staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a king room which was very spacious with a lovely big bed, very comfortable clean room. The bathroom was also clean and spacious with nice toiletries available. Food was super, had a lovely evening meal and breakfast. Shout out to Charlie in the restaurant, what a lovely young man and a credit to the Hilton Group.

Great hotel and location, staff was very nice and the breakfast was AMAZING! All the lads enjoyed our stay and will be coming back

Nice rooms great views and very spacious batgroom

As a sports nut, having breakfast sat overlooking the outfield of the Ageas Bowl is we pretty special. All the staff were fantastic and the double room was very comfortable

The first day was very busy on the course and pace of play was slow. The second round was flowing around on time. Much better. The course has an interesting layout with some great holes. There are a few blind shots which cost us on the scorecard. Second round much better with the knowledge of where you should be playing to. We should have prepared better. The course has suffered the effects of all the recent rainfall. Fairways in general were ok. Off the fairways the ground is very boggy. A nice summer will fix that. Greens very receptive. Go for the pin as the ball stops on landing. It’s a very interesting course with some easy holes and a few tricky ones. A nice mixture. Would love to play it again in the summer

Nice golf course, quite a few blind shots, difficult greens, very picturesque. Sadly we could only do 16 holes on the 2nd day due to drainage works.

Really great time there and good quality course! They recently changed things around so got a little lost but worth it

More than 1 practice net would of been nice and lost a star due to some of greens being like concrete, appreciate they’ve not had rain in some time but when some had been watered and some hadn’t was a lottery with approaches at times. But stunning place.

Course very dry and hard as expected with the recent weather. Greens were good. First tee box was off temporary box which was disappointing, especially as the reds were a yard away and off a normal tee box. Ball spotter on the first was hilarious with his actions on where you hit your first shot.

It was all of our groups first time here, and were very impressed. Course was in great condition, surprisingly hilly with great views, and each of the holes made you think, wasn't just grip it and rip it with driver. Staff in pro shop and bar were friendly, would definitely come back for another stay.

The only reason to mark this course as a 4 was because it had rained hard the previous day so some of the fairways were rather wet but overall the course was great, its very very hilly, so either take an electric trolley or hire a buggy (this wasn't available due to the rain) we certainly had a work out. We can usually do 18-holes in 3-3.5 hours, this took us 4, maybe a little over, the distances to walk between holes were quite long but the course is average length. This course is challenging, lots of sloping fairways and greens, many holes with water and ditches, but very interesting. The course is being re-jigged so our garmins couldn't read the distances which made it quite difficult to judge but overall would happily visit again. Staff in the pro-shop and on the course were absolutely lovely.

Course was very hard for us but beautiful all the same, first 2 holes are beautiful ans the back 9 is outstanding however still some construction work being done and the nav for scores hasn’t updated. But once the construction is completed this will be a phenomenal course and can’t wait wait to return when it’s complete

Nice golf course going through some changes so gps on buggies and on watches was not working properly greens were tough and fast course played well

Despite being shut the day before due to bad weather, the course dried up well and the greens were still immaculate. The one down side is that there is quite a few long walks between green and following tee so if you can, I recommend getting a buggy.
