Axe Cliff with a Buggy
Tee'd off at lunch time with broken clouds and sunny spells with a bit of breeze. Played before so we knew the layout. A Display Board is at the tee describing the hole, very useful and thoughtful. Fairways, greens and tees were all in very good condition. Not sure of the numbers but the 8th, 9th, 10th and 12th are long [and straight] - only one "short" par 3 on this course. The 15th and 16th play along the cliff edge and the on-shore wind was gale force as it topped the cliff! Friendly staff in the bar afterwards.
Will certainly consider playing there again.
Challenging little gem - amazing views
Interesting and challenging course with loads of blind tee shots. BUT great info on every tee to help you. Don’t be deterred the views are awesome and the back nine are great holes, especially the last 3. . Course a bit ragged in parts. Sadly clubhouse shut at 4pm so couldn’t sit and enjoy the views after our round. Will be back again.
An interesting golf course
Not the most well kept of courses but it’s definitely worth the money and a good day out. The front 9 is definitely better than the back 9, in my opinion. The back 9 is almost an open field with not much definition between holes, but is still decent. Worth a trip
Fantastic condition
Played for the first time today , was told by the reception that the first 6 holes are blind . The holes are well marked the marker posts and the description on all the tees are really useful. The fairways were in great condition considering the wet weather we have had recently. The greens took me a couple to get the read of them and I imagine in the summer they will be like glass lol .
The wid was up today so the holes along the cliff side you had to play with the wind . Would recommend this course to anyone
Would definitely come back!
Really enjoyed playing at Axe Cliff. Great course with amazing views. The bunkers need work and the greens were a little rough in spots, but you can’t really complain for £25/round. Recommend it!
Happy golfing
Traditional links course. Amazing views. Hilly at times. Lots of holes where the green is out of view or down a valley. Not much water or many trees and the rough was well managed making the course enjoyable, challenging but rewarding.
Interesting course
It’s very hilly with quite a few blind tee shots. However on the tee boxes there is a lot of helpful info to help navigate the holes. There is a good mix of holes that will challenge most golfers. I played the course on a calm day but I would imagine it’s a major test when the wind is up.
Some Amazing views out to sea on the back 9. Everyone we met on the course was incredibly friendly. The course could have been in better nick, the tee boxes were very scruffy and the greens so so, however the green fee was only £25 so for the price I would say it was value for money.
All in all a fun round of golf and worth a visit.
Interesting with spectacular views
As an inexperienced golfer I found this a challenge. It has a few blind tee shots which you need to be accurate and many of the greens are small, and with the hard ground meant my ball went through several times.
But some of the holes are great, 16 in particular is fun, and some are really open and less hard.
The views are spectacular looking over the Jurassic coast. I would come back again
an afternoon much enjoyed!
An interesting course with challenges, but the fairways were very good as were the greens, Very pleasant and helpful personnel at the club. We were welcomed as guests. Stunning views as you go round, of sea and cliffs, and town.
Axe Cliff
Not the first time I've played here but the course is always in good condition. The Clubhouse and Staff are very low key. I have yet to play when it is busy, a shame really as the course deserves more paying customers.
Pictures and guide notes how to play at each tee is a new & very thoughtful addition.
beautiful views when the weather allows.
Difficult coarse when the wind blows.
Unfortunately due to the problems with the green's it spoilt the round.
Friendly and informal
Good value golf but a workout. We could have done with a buggy. A lot of the holes were blind though each tee had good instructions. Crosses the paths of other golfers in several places so need to be vigilant. Greens not in great shape. Beautiful views though.
Great food poor golf course
Today I played axe cliff for the first time with my wife and a great friend. Unfortunately I won't be rushing back!! Greens was the worst I've ever putted on. Also very difficult to know where to go from each green as sign posting very poor. The best bit of the day was the the stunning views from the cliff tops and the food and drink at the end.
Messy course and poor greens
When arriving there was no staff to welcome and provide guidance with the course. We then played it felt like the course hadn’t been cut for at least a week. The greens all had massive holes in and wasn’t a great experience at all!
