The week is being organised locally by the Hampshire Golf Partnership, which brings together the men's women's and professionals' organisations to grow the game.
County Development Officer Beverly Huke said: Newcomers to the game will find that our clubs and coaches are very welcoming and they're passionate about getting people to try, play and join in the game of golf.
It's never been easier to start playing and golf is a great game for everyone who enjoys friendship, fresh air and exercise.
