THE SECRET IS OUT
DONNINGTON GROVE - From the moment you drive over the ballustraded stone hump backed bridge, flanked by ornamental ponds, and look toward the house, you realise that you have a treat in store. The drive to the club is impressive, with the driving range nestling to the left hand side, alongside the water. There is an air of history, fully justified by the record books, and the ancient Donnington Castle still stands guard over the scene. The castle was built in 1386 by Richard Abberbury under a licence granted by Richard 11. All that remains today is the gatehouse, still impressive on the skyline.

More than just a club
It was a pleasure to be driving along the M27, despite the rush hour traffic, because at the end of my journey, a golfing delight lay in store. Old Thorns is a really magnificent golf course, it is set on 400 acres of Hampshire countryside, amongst rolling hills and with mature trees and with an aura that belies it's age.
