Gentle course to easy back into season, improved since last played. Only down side is a lot of areas fenced off so a walk to your ball and have to take several clubs as you can’t see how your ball lies
Lovely first game of the year
Got a good deal on green fees. Sun was shining. Played off mats, but they were good condition and easy to use. Greens had been tined so sandy and full of holes, therefore not easy to putt. Some bare areas on some fairways, but nothing to complain about.
Main complaint was the bar stopped selling food at 3pm (we walked in at 3.02 to be told nothing could be done. Very disappointed with that after a lovely round. No food between 3pm and 5pm - seems silly when they are always busy at this time.
Always a nice arvo stroll round good practice course
Worth playing
The ground staff have been busy doing ground work the greens were small and quick the fairways in places had very little grass and after all the wet weather a few weeks earlier the course was good, will be going back in the summer to play again
Worth playing
It’s a bit of a pitch and putt, I didn’t take my driver out, most other golfers can. It’s a good course given the limited space, hence par 67, will happily return, especially when the temp tees are taken away, well worth a visit.
I arrived a little late for my tee time. The member of staff was very friendly and reassured me that it would be no problem and I could go straight to the first tee. Overall I enjoyed the course.
Very Slow play at times
Overall great experience on a well kept course. Staff in the club shop were friendly.
Only criticism was the slow play and refusal to allow us to play through.
A good course
Quite a short flat course. Trolleys were seriously confined to paths by small fences. A good experience overall
The course is tricky but a good challenge.
This is the second time I have played the course,
And I have to say the course is in immaculate condition a big shout out to the green keepers.
The pro shop is fully stocked with everything for the golfers of all ages and standard.
Very helpful staff in the pro shop and Harley is all ways happy to talk to you.
Great work all at the golf club.
I can highly recommend this course and facilities included the driving range experience.
Hope to see you all soon Gary.
What a day
Got my first hole in one on hole 5, so it would be wrong of me to give anything less than a 5* review
Not a massive course but a good size to play for £20.00 , greens were mostly good condition, would play again.
Great little course but not trolley friendly
I had a blast at Ferndown Forest Golf Club! The course was in great shape and offered a good amount of challenge. The narrow fairways definitely kept things interesting. The only thing I found frustrating was the no-trolley zone near the greens. Made it a bit of a hassle when I had to grab an Uber to change clubs haha. But all in all, still had a really good time on the course and will absolutely be back, albeit with a stand bag next time!
Great time
Had a really nice early evening round, with great weather on a lovely course. Great value
Huge Improvement Since Last Time
Okay.....so last time was probably 10 years ago and the course was in such poor condition that we thought it unlikely we'd play there again.
However; money has clearly been spent and the course has been much improved. A good variety of holes, making it quite challenging. Greens were in great condition and consistent. The pro-shop area is very good and there is an excellent driving range available.
There's a great bar/cafe, which seems hugely popular with both members and visitors.
So overall, it was great value for money and we'll be happy to return again!
Although the weather hasn't been great the course was in a shocking way.
Spend too much on the off course amenities instead of taking care of the course.
Value
Course is ideal for us as an after work local course, only thing I think is when it’s getting later 6.30 plus tee times really should be cheaper as you probably won’t get all holes in especially if it’s busy , but that’s the same for all courses
Course and staff were great. The only problem I had was after getting back to my car to find that some kind person had scratched the drivers and rear passenger doors with their car. Went to golf shop but they didn't know about it ( not reported ). Went to on site pub to check out monitors but nothing to see and again not reported. So to that person, :-((( ***
