Isle of Purbeck Golf Club - Purbeck Course
Played On 07/08/2019Fabulous location
I have been playing Isle of Purbeck since 1979 and have visited intermittently since that time. The course layout is as ever - excellent. The condition this year was disappointing but probably inevitable given the summer of 2018. The greens were variable in pace and the fairways worn. It looked like a little more TLC was required to sharpen the presentation of this magnificent layout.
Isle of Purbeck Golf Club - Purbeck Course
Played On 07/12/2018Heatwave
I used to be a member here but the last time I played, the course was in poor condition and felt unloved. Not so this time. The course was in great condition considering the drought and whilst the fairways are all burned up, the greens are good. Unexpected bounces made play challenging but I only brought a 3 wood so was forced to leave the driver out of the bag - good move!
My only reservation was the pace of play - we were a 2 ball head up by another 2 ball throughout the round. Just poor etiquette.
Orchardleigh Golf Club
Played On 04/17/2017Fine layout
I have known of Orchardleigh for many years but have never got around to playing there. On an impulse, my wife and I decided to go on a Bank Holiday. The booking was easy and arrangements smooth.
The course itself is set in magnificent parkland and the layout interesting and varied with many challenging holes. The course condition was perfectly acceptable but the greens were showing signs of recovery from winter Fusarium. They putted well however and were consistent. The only gripe was a very slow 4 ball two games in front of us.
Lovely afternoon being thrashed by one's wife at golf!
