t303556393

A beautifully kept course with excellent greens. Either a competition had just taken place or the person placing the pins had a sense of humour. A number of tough walks on the front nine especially but the contours add to the attraction of the course as does the amazing Dorset countryside. The back nine is fairly straightforward if you keep the ball straightish. Fairways are wide and although there are some trees around, it is called Ashley WOOD, it isn't too punitive if you stray left or right by a few yards. The last hole is a 200 yard par 3 but unless you are a single figure handicap, play it as a four and lay up with a seven or eight, pitch/chip on and trust your putter.
