Launceston Golf Club
Played On 06/20/2023A fine course
The course was in excellent condition and couldn’t fine fault with the layout. The GolfNow deal was an a bargain. Will definitely be returning soon.

Good weather and the course much looked in fair condition bearing in mind the prolonged wet weather we've had. Some greens were soggy but not enough to effect putting. Some challenging holes, especially the long par 3s.
Axe Cliff Golf & Country Club
Played On 11/10/2022A windy round
Course looked in fine condition bearing in mind the recent rains we've had. No temporary greens in play at all. However, there was little distinction between the fairway and the rough (maybe a bit too wet to get the mowers out?). The winter tee mats were a bit small, but they were stable. Strong winds plagued us for virtually all the round but managed some half decent scores. Absolute bargain and the course was largely deserted too.

Played On 09/02/2022A difficult day
The recent prolonged dry weather had caused the ground to get hard and with the short scorched grass and sloping fairways meant it was difficult staying on the fairways. Many balls were lost as a result. Not helped by the course being busy which meant we felt under pressure to keep up a good pace of play and meant balls were given up as a lost cause many times. A couple of points where holes cross over caused a frustrating delay. Greens looked nourished though and were fine. Nice course when it has grass.
Portmore Golf Park - Barum Course
Played On 06/10/2022A fine day for it
The course was in fine condition with it all looking pretty lush and green everywhere, barring some empty bunkers around the course. First time playing the course, there were several cases where weren't sure of where to aim our shots, not helped by the undulations and no apparent signage. Several testing holes and we would come back and play it again.

Played On 03/22/2022A warm afternoon
Great course with some testing holes. Apart from some sand on a few greens, the course was in good condition. A bargain and we virtually had the course to ourselves.

Played On 08/18/2021Highbullen afternoon
Played here before so knew what to expect. Course was quiet and that suited us. Course in good condition although the greens were a bit bare in places. Like playing here so will come again.

Blessed with good weather for our round. Unfortunately , I’m sure hampered by the weather, the grass was a bit a longer than usual and spotting balls amongst the daisies proved a problem at times. Also, mown grass was left on the ground in places so balls could disappear underneath. On a positive note, it was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, we like the layout of the course, and we’ll back again soon.

Played On 04/29/2021A value round
We took advantage of their excellent twilight deal. Apart from the last hole we could have thought we had the place to ourselves. Good course with a variety obstacles to test us. Greens were unsurprisingly hard but were fine to putt on.
Axe Cliff Golf & Country Club
Played On 10/26/2020A fine afternoon
Played this afternoon and there was little activity out on the course meaning we could relax and set our own pace. Apart from a few blemishes on the greens the course was generally in good condition. As ever, got to enjoy great views over Seaton, the Axe valley and Lyme Bay. Luckily I didn’t get in a bunker but glad I didn’t because some looked a little bit rough and what sand there was didn’t look the best. Definitely a good value course and we look forward to our return.

Played On 08/12/2020A hot one
A hot one. I like this course and it was in good condition when we played. There were a few bare patches on the greens but no real issue. On the day there was cut grass on the rough where we reckon we lost a few balls underneath. Will definitely return.
Dartmouth Golf & Country Club - Championship Course
Played On 07/17/2020Up for a challenge
Played a twilight deal which is certainly good value. Course challenging for me as it slightly unforgiving if you’re anything other than straight. Numerous lost balls and penalties later, I can say I got round. Glad to have played it though and the greens and fairways were in excellent condition, barring a few parched areas. I will be back to experience it again, although I might bring a trailer next time for my spare balls.
Boringdon Park Golf Club - Saltram Course
Played On 07/01/2020Twilight deal
Quite a long course (par 73, so be prepared for that, but it. has surprisingly good views most of the way round. A pleasantly challenging course with a good layout which, as first timers here, was easy to find our way around. Post covid and a good twilight deal meant the course was quite busy so it was a less relaxed round than our usual. The course was in excellent condition it has to be said and we look forward to playing it again soon.

Played On 06/17/2020Worth waiting for
Heavy rain on arrival which delayed our start. Couse has a good variety of holds although the layout wasn't the most straightforward. A couple of local players did try and help us with the directions but we did end up inadvertently missing out a hole. Greens were very bobbly and quite bare in places, no doubt not helped by a we wet winter, a hot spring and covid lockdown restrictions.
Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club
Played On 06/08/2020Post covid jaunt
Really like this course. Played it a few times before and it seems a well run club with some great views, some challenging holes and a good layout. Marked down slightly because of the state of the greens which were poor. However, bearing in mind the covid lockdown preceded by the wet winter, it’s no surprise that the ground staff are playing catch-up. Wish my golf was as good as the course yesterday, but alas....
