Reviewed May 16 2023

Played here for the first time and really enjoyed it as it ticks all the boxes for a golf course I like. It has par 3, par 4 and a couple of par 5s there is also bunkers and water hazards on several of the holes as well and trees and bushes scattered about the place. So the question is do you play safe or go for it over the trees, bushes and water hazards which could mean your in trouble if you don't make it.
All in all a beautiful place to play golf just be careful on the first fairway as it runs along side the the driving range and lot of balls do make it over the high fence.

Nice course

First time to this course, nice flat course. My only issue is the first 3 holes you have to be on your toes as the driving range is close by, a couple of balls came are way but no shouts of fore to alert us, the other 15 holes were splendid to play, will definitely return to play.
Club house bar was great, food we had was quickly served very busy place

Lovely Day Out

Ferndown Forest was a lovely course ideal for my group of average golfers, we were met with a very friendly greeting in the fantastic golf shop and again in the bar after our round where we all enjoyed a meal. I would recommend to any group looking for a flat, easy walking course that will challenge your game.

good course

the weather was pretty bad and could only play 9 holes, these holes where in pretty good condition considering the snow and rain we've had. it was only £10 and they said i could play as many holes as i liked so the score card isn't a true round but i played quite well and was playing 2 balls and just practicing really. will definitely be playing this course again.

We played Ferndown on golf tour to Bournemouth. The course presentation was superb, one of the best courses I have played on. Greens were pretty quick, there had been a major comp the weekend before we played so they had slowed them down a bit but still fast. Beautiful scenery around the course. Friendly welcome in the clubhouse and pro shop.

Craig from Bournemouth rated 5 out of 5

Reviewed Nov 4 2014

Played there on 4 November after a lot of rain the day before. The course has had a lot of work done on it in the last 18 months and I was extremely impressed with the course conditions. The front 9 is relatively short and there are some decent opportunities for birdies. The back 9 is longer and tougher, with the focus on well placed tee shots rather than distance. The final hole is a relatively short par 5, allowing a well hit tee shot an iron into a tight green with a river following in front of the green. The greens are true and in light of the recent rainfall, there was no standing water, although the odd green was wet. Overall, its a great course with a lot of work being put into it to improve it. I paid £10 for the round today and it was worth every penny.
