Axe Cliff Golf & Country Club

Axe cliff golf course is set along the south west coastline with one or two beautiful view holes , I don’t know for sure but I believe the club is run by members , they do a great job , it will test your legs this course as it’s a hilly front nine , the greens are a bit rough but still putting is always a challenge! , if your in the area this is a course worth a visit

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.

A challenging course which many would find easier with a buggy. The condition is good, greens are a little slow. Some holes are a bit confusing as to which direction you are heading. 2 people asked me if they were playing in the right direction and I had to ask someone at one point.

All that said there are some great holes and the views across to Beer are spectacular.

I did like playing this here but some holes are a little dangerous being very close together. On one hole my second shot was over a hill and had to play towards a white marker. I didn’t know until my shot was played that it was virtually over a tee box. But as I said I liked playing here.

Lots of blind tee shots and shots towards greens. On some holes it was virtually impossible to stop your approach shots without going out of bounds beyond the green. Greens were long and fluffy including rabbit scrapings. Lovely views though.

I live very close to this course and have played here for the last 12 months , I first found it on GOLFNOW and continue to use the course throughout the year , it’s not a tip top course , some holes are very close and knowing the course helps a lot , there are a few blind shots hole 16 is classic example tee shot over a brow and a blind second down hill to a small green , this course suits the midrange handicapper enough of a challenge but not overly punishing if you don’t always crack it down the middle, I will always play here and would strongly recommend it to anybody

We virtually had the course to ourselves all afternoon. Some challenging holes with good views of the Jurassic Coast. An open course allowing for wayward drives to be not severely punished A few crossovers and blind crests which are easier now that we’ve played the course before. Only downside to the day were the greens which were patchy and bobbly.

An enjoyable course although it wasn't in the best of conditions after long bouts of rain. The wet course meant buggies were not allowed which sadly meant that one of our party couldn't play. Only 3 holes had temp greens though which was good bearing in mind recent weather. Find the mid-round par 5's a bit unmemorable slog. One of our favourite local courses.

There are a lot of criss-crossing holes on this course. There are also a lot of blind shots and tee boxes right next to greens on long holes. Being an inconsistent golfer (I miss right, left, long, short, depending on all manner of factors) I was constantly worried that I would be endangering other players. And just because you couldn't see anyone up ahead didn't necessarily mean the coast was clear. I spent a lot of time walking forward to check my landing area was clear.

Despite this delay in my play, I was progressing at a decent rate. But by the time I'd got to about hole 11 I'd caught up with the 2 ball in front. They were very friendly and offered for me to go ahead. I declined on the basis that they were themselves stuck behind a load of 4 balls who were not letting anyone through. And the pace of play from these groups was absolutely shocking. I was spending upwards of 10 minutes per tee waiting around, and often having to wait for second shots also.

The 2 ball behind me and the single chap behind them had all caught up by this point so we continued as a 4 ball. Even so, we were spending a lot of time waiting around.

In fact it was so bad, the 2 ball ahead, and the 2 ball who'd joined me, finished on hole 16 and returned to the clubhouse. It was painfully slow.

The greens weren't in great condition to be honest, weeds in places, and slow and unreceptive.

It's a shame because there were some fun holes with some interesting decisions to make. And amazing views. But I will not be returning in a hurry.

excellent but you need a buggy as a lot of blind holes you need to drive up and check and the course is very very very hilly!

An unusual course with a few bling holes so tricky to judge first time around. Very helpful locals and members will point you in the right direction if you get lost. Some stunning holes on the cliff edge but would be very tough on a windy day. We were lucky and course played well and was actually very enjoyable.

Played this course after a spell of overnight heavy rain and bearing that in mind, there was little sign of it out on the course. Course was very quiet, probably due to the preceding weather. Weather fairly clear and so we could admire the good views on our way round. Course has several challenges and the greens lush and true. On the more exposed holes we had to contend with gale force winds which made putting and driving difficult. Several criss crossing holes might hinder play if busy.

Brilliant seaside course. Played it a few times now and happy to travel to play. A real challenge when windy but fun with some interesting links type holes which are testing at the best of times.

Wonderfully value compared to many course n the area that we play.
