Pretty course but not for serious golfers

Course in poor condition. No standards of dress, people with shirts off, football shirts etc lots of children. People who don’t know rules and etiquette everywhere.
Greens ok but fairways were very rough with big channels on them. Not for us.

Best Course!!!!!

Top tier value for money course in the area. Greens are superb! Fairways are looking insane! Perfect for all golfers, challenging in places but very forgiving.
I would highly recommend this course to everyone, you will not find better in Bournemouth!

Not even had much rain.

Too slow

Only played 9 holes because pace was too slow. They're sending too many golfers out.

Unhelpful rude staff

Half the course was close and most of open hole were waterlogged. (We were not informed of this it was just written on a paper sign at the front desk)
The front 9 and back 9 have been switched around which we we not informed by staff only aware when we met other golfers near the 10th tee.
Staff were very unhelpful and actually quite rude as I enquired about some sort of a refund or compensation for not being able to play 18 holes. The words used were “you booked through golf now so it’s not my problem.”
Customer service is almost not existent

Overpriced

Played here on a number of occasions, before the 9s were changed around and before they hiked the prices. It was arguably overpriced at the old prices given what it is. The course isn’t in too bad condition in general, however numerous greens have chunks missing almost like mini craters, the fairways are patchy. It was a busy day being a bank holiday but the course must have over booked as we found ourselves waiting for 4/5 minutes on each tee box and the round took forever. A 2 ball also jumped in ahead of the group ahead of us at the turn and actually delayed things further. I honestly don’t understand how this course can charge £32/£38 for a round of golf, not worth that in any way shape or form!

Didn't play due late cancellation of buggy by the Course

Didn't play due course informed me at 10:40, already at the course, (for 11am tee time) they would not let buggy's on the course. Myself & Friend can only play, at present, with using a buggy.
I'm having a Hip replacement 29 December, my playing partner is having his Knee replaced in February.
I asked for a refund, they said "I could not get a refund as don't receive any payment from Golf Now for "Hot Deal" rounds

Good inexpensive course

Good picturesque course for beginners and societies. Nice and open fairways. Suspect drainage could be an issue over winter. Many undulations on fairways where I think drainage channels have been formed over the years but I will certainly try and visit again.

7 holes out of order

We arrived to be told they had 7 holes out of order and unplayable no phone call prior wasted our time going up there to not play a full 18. Also group ahead were dragging trolleys over the green. Its a casual play course and this is why. Wouldn't recommend to a serios golfer
