Excellent challenge
Can’t fault this course, no matter how I play I just really enjoy playing here. Each hole is demanding, with gully’s and hazards across each hole, some of the fairways are sloping to ensure the line played can cause issue if shots go wayward holes 1,3,5,8,9,16 especially whist others are flat to be able to play a more forgiving hole, such as 4,6,10,13,17. The greens are also a test with some very hard greens such as 1,3,12,14,15. I would recommend this any level golfer.
Quick round
Played here a few times pay and play, nearly always slow, but flew around today despite being very busy. Course good despite recent wet weather. So of the slopes on the greens are a bit severe if you get out of position.
Booked for my wife and her friend
They both enjoyed 18- a tough but enjoyable challenge
Pleasant experience
Fairways were difficult to hit from as they were bone hard and bare in places. Greens were in good shape. Needed to use my rangefinder as the GPS is unreliable.
Course is interesting
It’s a nice course from a design perspective. Sadly let down with some basic maintenance.
Putting green badly maintained
Food options really poor
Wouldn’t be worth the membership fee
Great condition.
After playing several local courses lately, it was a joy to put on greens not resembling my back lawn. Great condition, great value, friendly staff as always. I'll be back!!
Very disappointing on this occasion!
I have played this course before on a previous golf trip to Bournemouth and it was lovely so we decided to play it again.
I want to stress that when this course is open with no work being carried out it is a delight. The staff are super friendly and helpful as they were today. A really tight and challenging course.
Unfortunately the course on this occasion, on full green fees, was a very frustrating and disappointing. The lovely gent in the pro shop advised us that Hole 1 and 2 were temporary greens just before we teed of at 07-08 am. Not an ideal start. Holes 3 and 4 had undergone hollow tining and hadn’t been cleared so you had to putt through all the sand. Again, not ideal. Holes 5-9 were great and we thought we will look past the first 4 holes and play good golf.
We go to the 10th tee box and they were working on the green so another temporary green! We just walked through to the 11th and played the hole. We then played 12 and when we got to the green, again it had been hollow tined and was full of sand.We could also see that they were busy hollow tining the 14th and another temporary green was in place.
At that point we walked back to the club house. My brother let the pro shop now that we were leaving and that the experience had been very dissapointing. We had travelled 2 and a half hours to play 2 other courses on the Monday and this on the Tuesday before travelling home. A very flat end to to a couple of days of Dorset golf
Course is fiddly
Tree line course which relies on straight rather than long hits,,the greens are the real protection.No driving range but there is a couple of nets
A challenge of a round
It was maintenance week so we knew the course wasn’t going to be in ideal condition but at times it was completely unplayable. Some of the greens that were open were impossible to putt on and it was very wet and boggy. In all honesty it should have been closed as it was unplayable on certain holes
Super Wet Underfoot.
Very wet conditions underfoot so had to carry the cart bag which was not ideal. The chap in the club house wanted to call us but Golf Now don't pass on personal information which needs to be addressed somehow. Generally seems to be somewhere to avoid in the winter after any amount of rain unfortunately. The layout is good for all levels of golfer as always keep it straight off the tee!
Excellent
Great coarse. I’m a beginner and it was challenging but very enjoyable.
The staff from the pro shop to the bar staff were very friendly and very helpful.
Very enjoyable day
Bunbury Woods
Very accommodating and helpful staff brought forward my tee time for my convenience. Course played well the fairways were quite firm, the greens were excellent true and quite fast. Overall a very pleasant course to play.
Bulbury
Great tricky coarse. Unfortunately wet and soft in places but overall a good day. Good club house.
Would definitely play there again
Challenging but really nice course
Course was in great condition and was good fun to play
Challenging layout that rewards a straight hitter
