This is a great course. Some tricky holes which make it enough of a challenge. We took quite a long drive to try this and it was well worth it. Cheap compared to other local courses with lovely friendly services as well - Would also recommend an ice cream for them too.

My wife and I were lucky enough to get an annual pass to the Portsmouth dock yard museum and decided to visit the submarine museum. We were given a tour of HMS Alliance, which we both thoroughly enjoyed and it was my first time inside a submarine, which I found fascinating, informative and I felt privileged to see how submariners live at sea to guard our nation. We had a nice coffee from the dockside cafe and were directed to a warm room to have it, after which we went into the display to see the well restored submarine Holland 1 and then into the larger museum to view many other exhibits and including the X 24, a must see. An extremely well laid out and fascinating insight, into our submarine history, thanks to all who made our day such an enjoyable one.

In Gosport town centre you’ll find The Discovery Centre, which is open till 7pm on weekday evenings. There is a surprising range of things to see at the Centre, including art exhibitions, events, and special activities for children and families. The Discovery Centre museum tells the history of Gosport and is well worth a visit, whilst those interested in fossils will enjoy the Geology Gallery. Why not also visit the family friendly exhibition on the mezzanine floor of Gosport Discovery Centre. Located just off the Town Centre High Street, exhibitions use pictures, objects and interactives to tell the stories of Gosport’s people.

The library rejoices in the name of Discovery Centre, but it's a library really. There is a good cafe and toilets, plenty of tables and chairs, free wifi (which is why I went there in the first place) and the staff are friendly and helpful. There was a good display of the plans the council have to upgrade the centre and waterfront area of Gosport, and goodness knows they could do more with it.

Founded 1987 as a charity, the Hovercraft Museum Trust has become the world's greatest collection of Hovercraft. Come visit our large collection of hovercraft large, and small. From the world's biggest commercial hovercraft, the SRN4, that ran a car ferry service across the channel to France, to craft used to film James Bond Die Another Day.

8. Lee On Solent Beach

The beach has changed markedly since I lived here in the 1950s when Lee Tower was the central attraction. The beach groins have been shored up. The cliffs have been landscaped. There's more for the kids to do, such as the skateboard park. Best of all, the promenade allows an easy walk or jog from Browndown all the way to Hillhead. The views across to the Isle of Wight are spectacular and there's always plenty of activity on the Solent for sightseers and water sport participants alike. The icing on the cake is that, regardless of weather, a one minute walk takes you to the High Street which is full of interesting and unique shops, cafes and restaurants as well as the 7-day open Co-Op and Tesco convenience stores. Just a 10 minute drive from Fareham makes this a great beach to visit any time of the year.
