Lovely Course - was under maintenance

went before reconstruction and course was above average. During changes parts of the course were unbelievably inaccessible (this was during winter).

Could do with better signage. (next tee, hole layout, ect.)

Good Short Course

Although not long this course provides quite a few challenges in terms of ditches, streams, ponds, woods and gorse.

Cheap, but short and not in great condition

An odd little course. Only cost £20 for 18 holes so it is good value, but it is inferior to other local courses.
Some very short par 3's made things difficult for me, playing only my second round in the last 15 years, as even my PW was too much club.
The course isn't in great condition, however the rough is forgivingly short.
The driving range is very goof though - many bays with trackman.

Serious Safety Issues

We were looking forward to our round at Ferndown Forest but sadly had to walk off after just 5 holes to ensure our own safety. The Club has packed fairways next to each other and greens one hedge width away from a tee box. Also many players are still learning so balls are literally going everywhere. In addition the netting on the range is too low and balls are regularly flying out at head height across the 1st fairway. If you were able to view the holes in isolation then this could be a fun course but the risk of being hit by a ball on each fairway isn't worth the risk - particularly when there are many other lovely golf courses nearby. We did raise safely concerns with the pro shop who just shrugged. Definitely wont be going back

Ferndown Forest was never a great course but now it has been shortened and now has 7 par 3s and only 1 par 5 which is only 429 yards off the yellow tees its pretty awful!!!! Ok its cheap to play and the staff are very nice and the adjoining pub restaurant is good it maybe worth a visit, as for me I won't be playing there again.
