Over Priced and Very Poor Condition

Christchurch Golf Centre has good facilities but massively let down by the course. Needless to say I will never play here again! Course layout didn’t correspond to GPS watches. The green keepers that tend this course must either be underpaid or the laziest green keepers!! Greens uneven with chunks taken out of them. Fairways were like a cart path with huge cracks in them. This generated huge uneven bounces . Don’t play this course!!! Oh and it cost £38 for 18 holes!!! Don’t mind paying the money but only if the course is up to it. Feel like I’ve been robbed!!!!

Not the best, not the worst.

Decent set up with range, bar and mini golf. Actual course not the best or in the best condition. Lots of potential though.

Pretty course but not for serious golfers

Course in poor condition. No standards of dress, people with shirts off, football shirts etc lots of children. People who don’t know rules and etiquette everywhere.

Greens ok but fairways were very rough with big channels on them. Not for us.

Best Course!!!!!

Top tier value for money course in the area. Greens are superb! Fairways are looking insane! Perfect for all golfers, challenging in places but very forgiving.

I would highly recommend this course to everyone, you will not find better in Bournemouth!

Very poor course

Almost unplayable, 3/4 of the course had so much water on it, it was so hard to play.

Not even had much rain.

Too slow

Only played 9 holes because pace was too slow. They're sending too many golfers out.

Unhelpful rude staff

Half the course was close and most of open hole were waterlogged. (We were not informed of this it was just written on a paper sign at the front desk)

The front 9 and back 9 have been switched around which we we not informed by staff only aware when we met other golfers near the 10th tee.

Staff were very unhelpful and actually quite rude as I enquired about some sort of a refund or compensation for not being able to play 18 holes. The words used were “you booked through golf now so it’s not my problem.”

Customer service is almost not existent

Overpriced

Played here on a number of occasions, before the 9s were changed around and before they hiked the prices. It was arguably overpriced at the old prices given what it is. The course isn’t in too bad condition in general, however numerous greens have chunks missing almost like mini craters, the fairways are patchy. It was a busy day being a bank holiday but the course must have over booked as we found ourselves waiting for 4/5 minutes on each tee box and the round took forever. A 2 ball also jumped in ahead of the group ahead of us at the turn and actually delayed things further. I honestly don’t understand how this course can charge £32/£38 for a round of golf, not worth that in any way shape or form!
