Our game of golf

Played this course last Saturday would not play this course again as if you don't always hit the fairways don't look for your ball as the grass is is to long will back to Queen's Park golf course council course better than a private run course

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.

Poor

Didn't get off to a good start when the guy approaching the first tee as we did , said his tee off time was "" same as ours! Asked if he could join us, to which we said no, turned out he was painfully slow, he went ahead of us, joined the 2 ball ahead, they then left him behind because he was slow, we then played through.

Fairways were ok, but the greens were uneven and very bobbly .

Golf course what golf course

Car parking is now a problem but this was in half term so should be ok when schools are back. This is due to the new crazy golf course which is very popular and where all the resources have been put.

Cannot really call this a golf course. The greens looked like they had been trampled on by a herd of cattle.

The rough was so long that if you went 1 foot of line you had to be lucky to find it which caused the speed of play to be poor.

I cannot recommend this course but come next year I hope it will have improved.

Poor greens

Only complaint was the state of the greens which are currently very poor. For that reason couldn't recommend at this time.

A good forgiving course

I'd read a few recent reviews complaining of the state of the greens here, so was a little unsure of what to expect. Thankfully they must have recovered as most were in excellent condition even though one or two showed signs of really drying out.

I've played before and the course favours those that draw the ball atleast for the front nine.

The pace of pay was great and the old boys let me play through with minimal cursing.

Would definitely recommend it for its generous fairways and well kept first cuts. Overall a great round.

Atrocious Greens !!!!

Hard to imagine that a course could allow their greens to get in such a bad condition. Would appear that the greens have been over-treated with too much fertilizer and now appear to be beyond repair. Looks as though the new "crazy golf" course in the front is more important and the main priority..

Greens in an awful mess

I have to say I usually enjoy playing at Iford but I don't think I've played anywhere that the greens were so bad.

It's hard to see how they can come back from where they are now.

Was going to play here in May but will definitely try elsewhere, it wouldn't have been bad if we were warned prior to playing.
