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!
No shelter when it's windy
Car park full with morning players but very quiet starting at 13:00, no pressure at all which is how I like it.
Course in need of water after a prolonged dry breezy period. Groundsmen watering lawns today but already damaged and in only fair condition. Fairways were still good.
Cool wind on the clifftop but bright and sunny so views over sea, countryside and Seaton were exceptional.
It's an exposed course so quite forgiving. Played several times and always enjoyable.
Lockdown challenge
Axe cliff is local to me and I’ve played a number of round there , it’s always good but yesterday the course failed in every way poor greens long fairway grass , it’s a shame
Great Course
Had a fantastic day. The greens had just been scarified so we’re a little knarly. I expect they will improve as the season progresses. Great features on this course though and plenty of hills to keep you fit.
Disappointed in the course condition
Played this course last year and the course was in brilliant condition, not so much this time.
Couple of the greens had divets in them, great course when in good condition.
Poor greens
Played a few times before this review, greens were shocking which is a shame as the previous times they were great . Not sure id make the journey to play it again now
Tough course when not played before, extremely hilly
A fun course with great views
A little gem on a soggy December day., A golfing haven from other local saturated parkland courses. Generous fairways ensure good pace of play. Course in good condition considering the wet weather, greens aren't too tricky in the winter but in fine condition. We were a first time visit 4 ball and got round in just over 3 hours. A few blind shots but well marked out, a couple of uphill holes but definitely not a goat track, it levels out well after 1st hole. Friendly club, would definitely return.
Good for December
Started on 8 to protect the first half and give it a few hours to improve from recent rainfall. Overall the conditions underfoot were extremely good for December. Good grass cover.
No temp greens, but some were damaged by rabbits.
The course is on the clifftops above Seaton and the clouds were either just overhead or came low enough to shroud us in mist. Only rained for the last 2 or 3 holes.
Plenty of room if you don't stay on line but with some quite tricky holes at 16, 17 & 18.
Played a number of times in the past and certainly look forward to playing again in Spring and Summer.
