THE SOUTHAMPTON ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

St Edmund's Catholic Church

St Edmund's Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Southampton, Hampshire. Construction on the building was started in 1889. You can find the church situated on the corner of The Avenue and Rockstone Place. The structure is built in the Gothic Revival style, which is visible in the architectural details of the facade. Because of its importance to the area's heritage and its specific design, the church is a Grade II listed building. It is a place of worship and a prominent landmark for those visiting the streets of Southampton. Whether you are passing by on The Avenue or stopping for a moment of reflection, the building's presence marks a significant point in the city's religious history.

HOLE 3 - PAR 4

SeaCity Museum

The SeaCity Museum is located in Southampton, England, and is housed within a part of the Grade II* listed civic centre building. This maritime museum was designed by the architect WilkinsonEyre and opened on 10 April 2012. Inside, you can explore two permanent exhibitions that detail the history of the area. There is also a third space used for temporary exhibitions, which is located in a purpose-built pavilion extension to the civic centre. It is a great spot to get your bearings on the city's relationship with the ocean. I've noticed the pavilion extension is a particularly striking addition to the original civic architecture, providing a modern contrast to the listed structure that houses the rest of the museum's galleries.

The Watergate Ruin

Let me show you the Watergate Ruin. These city walls and tower are some of the oldest structures you will find here, though they now stand as a ruin. Because of its historical importance, the site is protected as a scheduled monument. You can pick out the weathered stone and the way the structure has decayed over the centuries, which gives the spot a distinct atmosphere. It is a Grade I listed building, ensuring that what remains of the tower is preserved for everyone to see. I usually find that the textures of the old masonry are the most interesting part of the walk. It is a quiet spot to stop and think about the city's early defenses before you move on to the next part of the course.

HOLE 6 - PAR 3

Solent Sky

Solent Sky is an aviation museum located in Southampton. As an independent museum, it operates as a standalone entity within England to showcase the history and development of flight. You can explore the collection to see how aircraft design has changed and what these machines meant for the people who flew them. It is a place where the engineering of the past is kept intact for people to study and admire today. When you are walking among the exhibits, you can pick out the different shapes of the wings and the materials used in the fuselages. I usually find that the sheer size of the displays makes me feel quite small, which is a feeling I usually only get when I am staring up at a very tall statue from the pavement.

HOLE 8 - PAR 3

Church of Holyrood

You will first notice the open shell of the Church of Holyrood. This former church building was built in 1320 and was one of the original five churches serving the old walled town of Southampton. During the blitz in November 1940, the structure was destroyed by enemy bombing. Rather than being fully rebuilt, the ruins were preserved as they stood. In 1957, the shell was dedicated as a war memorial to the sailors of the Merchant Navy. Visitors can see the remnants of the medieval walls and the space where the roof once sat, which now serves as a place of remembrance. Today, the site is recognized as a scheduled monument and is also a Grade II* listed building. It remains a significant part of the city's history, marking the impact of the war on the old walled town.

HOLE 9 - PAR 3

Houndwell Park

Let me show you Houndwell Park. This location is a park, providing a dedicated area of greenery within the city. It is a place designed for people to visit and spend time outdoors in a natural setting. I find that the open layout makes it a pleasant spot for a stroll. Whether you are looking for a bit of nature or just a place to stretch your legs, this park provides that space for everyone.

STOP 10

St Joseph's Catholic Church

Augustus Pugin was the architect of St Joseph's Catholic Church, which he designed in the Gothic Revival style. This Roman Catholic parish church in Southampton, Hampshire, had its inception in 1845. Pugin also designed the church chancel, which was built in 1843. The building is recognized as a Grade II listed building. In 1882, St Joseph's Church served as the pro-cathedral of the Diocese of Portsmouth. Visitors can observe the specific details of the Gothic Revival style throughout the site. The church remains a significant point of interest in the city, reflecting the work of Pugin and the history of the Catholic faith in Hampshire. The chancel, completed before the inception of the main church building, provides a distinct example of the architect's vision for the space.
