Superb

A fantastic course. We are a 60+ couple, returning to golf after a 20 year lay off. We had played 4 rounds over the last few weeks, and then played Isle of Purbeck. What a fabulous course, in an incredible setting, we lost a lot of balls, and found it a real challenge. We wouldn't want it any other way, and can't wait to return when we have sharpened our skills. Thank you, Howard and Satomi

Great experience and amazing views

Well worth the drive to play this amazing course. The haze cleared and we got to enjoy some incredible panoramic views of Poole Harbour and the Purbecks.
Challenging yet intuitively designed, it was a great course to play and would highly recommend

Wonderful isle of Purbeck!

Played for the second time - first was last August. Greens quick and challenging, fairways were good and tees were top class. A brilliant enjoyable and great value experience! Views to the coast were the most spectacular I have seen anywhere on my golfing travels.

A delight

Played The Isle of Purbeck course on a sunny but blustery day. Apart from a few muddy patches, the course was as beautiful as anticipated. The wind definitely played its role; massive drives with it behind you, less than impressive when it was in your face. The tilting fairways make you think and seriously consider your course management. Stray from the fairways and the rough, in the forms of heather and gorse, will simply consume your ball. Once on the green, the contours and undulations will test you further. Get the pace right or be prepared to pay the price. Will I be lay it again? Of course I will!

Great day out

When we arrived it was carry only( check website) so the shop pro kindly lent us 2 bags, it’s a great course, there were 4 temp greens but this didn’t detract from the overall experience, the views as always are stunning, and it’s one of my favourite courses for sure, always a challenge with the wind if it’s up, which it was .
Definitely recommend it, and if you get a lucky day with the weather it’s hard to beat, not sure it’s a £60 plus round in summer but that’s the way golfs going ( expensive)

Challenging Course with Spectacular Views

I've been looking forward to playing this course for several years, coordinating the other playing partners being the only factor delaying the experience.

I was advised to play when wind speeds were low, which was an important selection date, and good advice. The weather was beautiful and better than expected on the day, and this further enhanced the spectacular views over Poole Harbour and Brownsea Island.

Probably the most difficult course I've played due to the high risk of lost balls when a shot doesn't go to plan, but familiarity would probably make it easier with future rounds.
