Winter Golf

Played this course because it's so reliable when conditions are not great weather wise. It's a simplistic course which is always playable in winter, no temporary greens or tees which is ideal and rare for this time of year. Only £13 on Tee Off Times so great value too!

Good, forgiving course, but pace of play slow

Nice course with wide, forgiving fairways, this does mean it's not the most challenging course for the lower handicappers out there though (sadly, not applicable to me!!).

Course was in good condition generally, however the greens were average. Considering the amount of rain recently the course held up well with only a few holes having surface water on them.

Main grumble, which spoilt the round, was the overall pace of play. Groups in front were not allowing others to play through, which really slowed play down for us and all the groups behind. It's a shame players were not complying with one of golf's most basic etiquette's...maybe a course Marshall is in order reading some of the other reviews??

Great value

Great value and no one around... it's surprisingly testing in the winter and the greens could do with some love but if you want to get out and play cheaply this is a great course for that.

Cold & Frosty

Played late morning once frost had lifted one of the few places open without temporary greens. Some of the greens look like they may have some sort of infection as they were yellow & patchy in places and were slower than normal however this didn't really affect our round.

Course was in good condition considering the time of year. Very overpriced at full green fee played twilight to take advantage of reduce rate. Would definitely recommend to others at this rate.

The one thing they could massively improve on is the management of tee times on the first tee it seems to be a bit of a free for all we were 12.22 and there was 3 groups stood on the tee and 2 guys that has obviously done the back 9 first telling us they had priority to play through us which i found a bit rude. When we did eventually try to tee off a group came down and said they were 12.15 so were in front of us nevertheless we gave up and did the back 9 first. It is a real negative and puts me off playing at this course during busier times and summer months. I would like to see the course implement some plan in the coming months to stop this happening and marshall slow play as i always get held up and never let play through. If these issues were resolved i would be more inclined to join as a member.

Great value for money

I've played the bridge course at playgolf Bournemouth numerous times and like the course a lot. It's not the most difficult or spectacular course, but it does have some good variation and is fun for all handicaps. At £11 for a hot deal on teeofftimes I really can't complain, it's very good value.

The course also has a big driving range - probably the best in the local area - and a nice cafe serving a good selection of food and drinks. My only complaints would be that a few of the electronic driving bays are faulty, and some of the rough could do with being a bit shorter. It's frustrating and slows down play when a very slightly mishit tee shot gets lost in thick rough.
