Fast greens and lots of trees mean that every hole is a good challenge.

Excellent Course

Bulbury Woods is one of my favourite courses in Dorset. The greens are near perfect and offer a great challenge for all golfing abilities. They are faster paced than most around but extremely well kept and enjoyable to play on. The course has that ‘proper course’ feel to it with many holes lined by 40ft for trees offering a narrow target and good course management. Staff are always very friendly and a club for all abilities. The clubhouse is very spacious with outdoor seating and a balcony style outdoor area overlooking the 18th. I look to play here whenever I can as with a hot deal or twilight booking it’s an absolute steal. I would genuinely consider a membership here if I lived slightly closer.

Bulbury review

Me and a friend from out of town had a great time at bulbury woods golf course last weekend. We booked on at short notice at a very good rate! Well worth the money! For the same in short, the course is the same price as somewhere like Queens park or Meyrick park but twice as good. Loads better value for money. Had a great time. Would 100% okay again and recommend to anyone.

Another Enjoyable Round!

We really enjoy playing here. Some very interesting and challenging holes......a really good mix!

The course was in good condition on the whole......the greens excellent....fast and contoured.

The staff are super-friendly. The pre and post game facilities are excellent. We were very lucky on this occasion to have secured a 'Hot Deal' price but even at full price, it's very good value for money.

We played here a couple of weeks earlier and there was a lad touring the course with a 'drinks' buggy. What a good idea but no sign of it on this most recent round, which would have been a godsend, as it was the hottest day of the year so far!

Shirt but challenging course, amazingly helpful and friendly staff

Myself and the wife picked bulbury at random on the way back from holiday, the staff (Michael) were absolutely hospitable and friendly, showing us where everything was (this doesn't happen enough these days!). The course was in great condition z make sure you go with accuracy everywhere, it really punishes you if you dont! The greens were brutal on the back 9! If in the area I'd definitely play again!

Snails pace

Played today and what a waste of time

Were 2 ladies in front of us who to be truthful were not quick , but in front of them were an alleged 4 ball with another walking , but they were all playing ,all 5 so by the 6 th they’d lost 2 holes , wouldn’t let the ladies through , and only when we got to the 8th and 2.5 hrs in would they even ask us , too late we had enough and decided to go in .

Told the pro shop member who admittedly went to investigate but of course they denied it ( we had watched them for 4 holes to make sure ) terrible as they were members , no refund or any offer . I’ve left good reviews here in the past , so only fair that when it’s no good people get to know it too .
