Okay very occasionally for a cheap round

The fact that we (a 3-ball) had to let 3 single golfers through before we finished hole 5 might have been the worst luck ever known, but along with previous experience of a culture of golfers keen to get around the course in the absolutely minimum amount of time this can be typical of what you can expect during a round here.

However, what is always annoying is the poor quality of the course. For instance, the cuts of the fairways and immediate rough are always longer than they should be, but it is the ruts that criss-cross almost every fairway which often hinders the length of your shot or redirects it to one side into the rougher areas that make this a very poor golfing experience.

We've not experienced other Progolf courses, but would be reluctant to try for the fear that the maximise for profit at the unacceptable course quality would very likely to be what is offered.

Certainly not a course in the mid or upper percentiles of Bournemouth' s and surrounding areas selection of alternative courses.

Slow play delays

I like this course but Slow play by a team of golfers caused a lot of frustration A team of 4 ladies playing extremely slowly lead to at least 4 pairs of two ball golfers walking off cause it was that slow our round took over 5hours never herd of stewards should have help the timekeeping or managed tee time better

Very boggie

I was not informed by TeeOffTimes that the front nine on this golf course was closed so had to play the back nine twice, would not have played this course if I had been informed at the time of booking.

Drainage a problem

Booked on line, so not sure what conditions to expect. Unfortunately 4 holes shut, so unable to have a proper competition. Lucky with sunny weather, so enjoyable anyway. Greens were a bit rough - never mind - roll on summer

WARNING: Never play here out of Summer!

As you wade through the bogged areas between the green and the next tee, just recall how lucky you were to not to land in one of the many areas of casual water on the last fairway, even though your ball had probably become plugged once or twice on the way again. An absolute disaster course as soon as the annual water table starts to rise, and is probably best avoided until Summer has well and truly returned once more. Don't waste your money!

More sand than Bournemouth beach

Nice course, open fairways and long. Quite wet in places. Greens were appalling. Every green hard been dug up and looked like a giant bunker. Received no warning on teeofftimes, only when we arrived at the course when it was too late to go anywhere else.
