Golf course review of Broadstone Golf Club

In my view, Broadstone Golf Club is just simply the best course in the Bournemouth/South Dorset Area. It is a pure Heath and Heather type of course which stretches away deep into the Dorset countryside from the clubhouse, and after the 1st, only the hole being played is in view right until the final 18th hole. Once bisected by the Somerset & Dorset railway, or to many, known as the Slow & Dirty, the course itself albeit with a few changes, is the same now as it has been for donkeys years. Whilst there is not a weak hole on the course, there are two par 4's that must rank on anybodies top 50 holes in the country, - the 7th is as tough and delightful hole as can be found anywhere where the line from the tee is a quite unbelievable marker post. The drive though is the easy bit, for if you are fortunate enough to get a good one away, you climb to you ball to see a huge chasm in front of you with the green sitting seemingly miles away on another planet!. With bunkers and heather galore in front of the green, for most sensible players, the best idea is to get to the bottom of this chasm and then pitch on - you might just get a 5 that way!. The other outstanding hole is the 13th. The Drive here is pretty straightforward and one might wonder what all the fuss is about with this hole...the sting here is that quite unseen from where your drive has probably finished, is another huge chasm, directly in line with the pin........the pin has to be approached from the right hand side......don't doubt this info!!. Whilst these two holes are absolutely top class, the other 16 are not far behind.....If you are in Dorset, thi is a must play
