Paultons Golf Centre

What Paultons Golf Centre does

Paultons Golf Centre is a privately held pay-and-play golf facility located in Ower, near Romsey, Hampshire, on a 200-acre site five minutes from the M27 motorway. The venue operates an 18-hole Championship course (6,238 yards off the back tees, all greens built to USGA specification with optimum drainage) alongside a 6-hole Par 3 Academy course, a Trackman-powered driving range open 9am-9pm, a pro shop, and full clubhouse bar and kitchen facilities. It serves a diversified mix of consumer and business customers: visitor golfers (no handicap required), members (7-day, 5-day, and intermediate 18-29 tiers), corporate clients, society groups, wedding and celebration-of-life hosts, and junior golfers through the Georgia Hall Golf Academy.

The business is owned by Stellar Paultons GP Ltd and operated by Ben Blackburn Golf. Technology underpins both the guest experience and the operational model: Trackman radar tracking for the driving range, Toptracer for range visualisation, the Chronogolf tee-time booking widget, the Yourgolfbooking.com range booking platform, and standard digital marketing analytics. The facility also markets the Georgia Hall Golf Academy, launched in March 2023 with Major Champion and three-time Solheim Cup winner Georgia Hall (MBE) and delivered by 8 PGA professionals led by GM and PGA Fellow Professional David Green.

Revenue is generated through nine identified streams: green fees (peak summer weekend £45, junior at 50%), annual memberships (£650-£1,200 with monthly instalment options), Trackman driving range usage, corporate partnerships (membership, hole sponsorship, range bay advertising, golf days for 5-100 delegates), weddings and celebration-of-life events (catering from £14.95 per person), golf day and society packages, the pro shop (stocking Callaway equipment), pitch-and-putt rounds (£7.50 adult / £5 child), and gift vouchers. Members benefit from reciprocal play at 6 sister courses across the Stellar group, including Bramshaw (New Forest), Newark (Nottinghamshire, est. 1894) and Murrayshall (Perthshire, Scotland).
