Never again

Played the course on Friday 29th September 2023. The clubhouse and reception by staff was good on arrival and the weather was perfect. Ryder Cup to look forwards to afterwards as well. The green fee of £300.00 for a fourball and two buggies seemed high but I’d played the course a few years ago and so I wasn’t too put off by this. Sadly, the course was in very poor condition - tees were bare, fairways and greens not cut and pitch marks all over the greens, as well as wormcasts but it’s that time of year I guess. The pace of play was also very poor - set for over 5 hours before we decided to call it quits after 12 holes. Given this experience and photos I’d taken of the course, I thought, at a minimum, there would be a partial refund (of any amount) but it was met with a “you’re not gonna get Augusta for £60” and no refund despite raising this with management. Shame, was decent in the past - we played Moor Valley the next day and had a far better experience for half the price. I’m a 3 handicapper and have played several top courses in the area so I have a good idea of the price points for the different courses in Dorset. Never again, although I gather that might not be an option anyway come March next year.

Booked 12.30 tee time through tee of times, told by a mixed foursome we hadn't put our ball in a chute an therefore they would play ahead of us? Explained we'd booked, didn't matter not interested, they finally let us through on hole 4 as one of the ladies had to walk back to the clubhouse for the loo?
In front of them 3 sets of 4 in buggies who wouldn't let people through, couldnt complete the round. Obnoxious rude people who shouldn't be allowed to play the game, have been told by other people this was the case at Dudsbury and it sadly proved true, DONT BOTHER PLAYING THERE!

Best left till Summer

I don’t think I’ve ever had to clean a ball so often. Very muddy
Saving grace, the greens were in good order.

Good Course but VERY slow play

Firstly I should say the greens here are fantastic, best I have played on all summer/autumn. The front 9 is very compact and squeezed in to a small space but the back 9 seems more spread out and enjoyable. Practice facilities are good and the practice green is very similar to actual course greens. Staff were very friendly and the clubhouse was nice. However, this was all ruined by the pace of play. Usually takes me 3-3.5 hrs as part of a 2 ball to complete a round. I played here on my own, tee?d off at 2pm and finished my round at 6:20pm (in the dark). Slow 4 balls a few groups up did not let anyone through and actually cut their round short as it was getting dark. Another group I spoke to said it's always slow here. Disappointing because it could be a great course but at the prices they charge I would struggle to justify playing again, especially at winter twighlight rates because I wouldn't see being able to finish before it's too dark.

An interesting course with water in play for the majority of the holes. Excellent greens. Fringes and 2nd cut left a bit long but generally really well kept. Practice facilities are pretty poor. Driving range quite expensive and badly worn balls and poor options of tees. Not particularly welcoming pro shop but the hotel staff were very friendly.

Nice course good condition. Good club facilities although they would not allow one of our group to use spa.
