Great course and great Staff

Really nice course in great condition, It was nice to play a course that made you think about club selection and ball placement.

Public footpath’s cross the course , and we had a group of walkers walk down our fairway and they refused to go back on the path when asked .

We saw 2 course martial’s who were trying to address this problem, so top marks there .

Fantastic

Well done to all at Christchurch Golf Club

.

Course has much improved since the new ownership took over. Fantastic facilities Range with live tv golf tracking so you can see details of your every shot. In winter simulators bays are great option. Little par 3 course to practice your short game. Even fantastic 18hole crazy golf which is the best I ever played so you can take your family or beginner friends to have a cracker. On top of that Pro shop with wide range and great bars and restaurant. This place has it all. Fantastic value for money with great coaching Team.

Golf

This is a good summer course with wide fairways that are in a good condition. Its not too busy so the pace of play is ok. It has a good bar for food and drinks at the end of the round.

Meh

If you like playing congested, slow golf, then this is the course for you. So, so slow. I was a single in a buggy and despite being allowed through by 2 4 balls, I still wound up behind a 2 ball (who hilariously had brought their own buggy with them lol) who were behind a 4 ball.

Tee time at 11am on a Monday morning.

It's about £8 too expensive for what it is, which is a golf course tacked onto the side of a giant driving range and crazy golf course. I'd expect to pay £16-£20. £49 including a buggy all in was much for this place.

Greens decent, fairway scorched (obviously) but ok, rough was playable.

I came away wishing I'd done a touch more research and maybe paid a bit more money somewhere else.

I would definitely play here again

I enjoyed my round here very much. It has a great mix of pars so plenty of opportunities to get the driver out of the bag.

It is a flat coarse so push trolley was fine for here.

I was impressed how healthy the grass was on most of the coarse fairways considering the near drought conditions at the moment. Although some areas have suffered generally the coarse was in great condition..

My one criticism would be the lack of obvious signage to guide you the the next tee box and on a couple of occasions we headed for the wrong one which obviously slows play but apart from that a great day of golf.

Holiday game

Had a game while on Holuday in Bournemouth.

V enjoyably, fairways bone dry but tees and greens lush.

Must have watered them.

Greens nice pace and would hold a good struck ball which is important.

Loved the 3.5 hr game.

Very Slow Play

Not a bad public course but the lack of a Marshall to speed play up spoils what could be a good day , needs a tidy up on course, fairways need work and greens a little slow.

Good….but

Course was in very good condition. Best I’ve seen it (& I’ve played it a lot over the years. Greens beautiful condition.

However be prepared to lose a lot of balls. Rough had been allowed to grow to a ridiculous length so that any ball leaving the fairway by even a small amount was likely to be lost.

Good but greens need work

I really like the course but the greens are badly affected by the sand/grit used and makes the ball deviate quite badly leading to some pretty frustrating putting, but enjoy the course layout and am considering membership

Gentle Course

Good course to play especially during the week when a two ball can get round in three hours or less.

Value for money helps make it an enjoyable place to play. Excellent practice facilities and an American Golf store on site. The staff are very friendly and there is a good bar and catering.
