Wonderful day

We couldn’t have picked a better day to play the course. The sun shone and there was no wind. The sea sparkled and the views were stunning and our golf probably suffered from not concentrating enough. After days of rain our course was closed but, here the fairways were firm the greens were fast. We liked the fact that there were only green tees (mats) and they had their own card. The rough wasn’t too long but best not to go in there. Bunkers had been raked and the sand was easy to play out of. The car park was packed but the course didn’t seem busy and we weren’t held up or pushed from behind. Unfortunately because the catering franchise is being renewed we weren’t able to have a beer afterwards but we are really looking forward to returning ASAP. This is definitely a course you need to play again as some of the holes are really difficult to work out first time. Some really fun holes like the 6th. This is a must play course.

Views, challenges, breeze

This course is a great challenge for a golfer of any handicap. With views up and down the Jurassic Coast (utterly breathtaking), the course has well managed fairways and greens. However, keep it on the short stuff - anything into the long rough is hard to find due to its depth and texture. The picturesque 6th is a hole that everyone must play - a short par 3 but with an almighty drop and South West Coast Path then crashing waves to the left. It’s an undulating course so, if you struggle with stamina, take advantage of one of the club’s very reasonably priced buggies. We thoroughly enjoyed playing this course and will DEFINITELY return!

Good variety of holes

A good challenging course, especially in windy conditions, yet opportunities to let rip on some holes. Certainly worth trying yourself

Great Course with Spectacular views

Very enjoyable links type course, in fairness weather was beautiful, I am sure the course would be a different kettle of fish in adverse weather conditions.
Some spectacular views and the par 3 6th is a joy.
Would definitely play again if ever in Dorset.

Keep on the fairways the rough will frustrate you as very difficult and sometimes impossible to get out of. Careful with your driver.
