Wareham Golf Club

The greens had been treated this week. The quality was terrible and the lay out of the course around the first 5 or 6 holes is very confusing knowing who plays and has priority. The tee boxes were very patchy and of a poor quality too.

Wareham has always been on our list to play as an old established course in the area, however is turned out to be quite disappointing. No grass on the tees, the greens were spiked and sanded which should be fine but they had not been rolled and the ball went through the Dakar Rally to get to the hole. Its a real shame as the property has so much potential and with a little TLC could be a feature course that you might want to play time and again. We always want to make out reviews fair but we came away from here actually not wanting to return which is not how a gold course should leave you feeling. The place is obviously under going some refurbishment with the building work but the priority should be on the state of the course and not where you have your drink after. There are multiple sprinklers on every tee which i don't think have been used in quite a while, so there is no point in having them there as a trip hazard going down a hole in the ground. Most of the fairways were like playing in the rough if you could actually find some grass to play off, which we did on one hole at least which was a welcome bonus. I wish the course well but my advise is give it some love as you want paying guests to return not to not want to come back to you.
I have put no in the would i recommend the course to a friend, not in its present condition but i hope i would in the future if it improves.

Greens in very good watered condition considering all of the sunshine. Fairways obviously parched like everywhere else . A nice round of golf

Course conditions at even the most challenging time of year could not be faulted. The tees, fairways and greens were very well protected/maintained, and everything makes for a very enjoyable round of golf. A very fine example to many other courses indeed.

First time playing the course, pro shop staff helpful in pointing things out. Went out with my Hole19 app on my phone, and was taken back by the condition, all greens were in play and running true, hardly any damage on them which shows how much the members care for their course. Quirky layout of holes, a real course management course. Can’t just take driver out on every hole over 250yds! Enjoyed it so much I came back next day and got to play with a member and again really enjoyed it.

Interesting course, challenging and various challenges

Really difficult to review our round properly as the conditions due to the current weather left the course bone dry , we did really like the layout and greens were not bad considering. Will certainly play again once the weather turns.
Would imagine my review will be much improved.

Our first time using GolfNow, everything worked seamlessly, from the moment we spoke with the member of staff in the club shop to confirm our booking, everyone was so friendly, helpful and went out there way to make us feel welcome, the recently added All Stars Sports Bar, food menu was an added bonus, with so much choice of locally sourced ingredients, we personally had a Dorset Sausage and Egg Bap and a Latte, but it so easily could of been a full English!!! This was the perfect start of a fabulous day, the course looked glorious, lush green fairways and beautifully manicured greens, it was a delight to play, if only our golf play could of done it justice, we most certainly loook forward to returning soon for another round, thank you everyone at Wareham Golf Club.

There are some shared tees and closely configured fairways. A moderate course but well used to the extent that there are long waits as players stack up with each other.
