This course just gets more picture perfect every time I play it. Up there with the most beautiful golf courses you will find. The putting greens are always like glass, requiring a delicate touch and the general course condition is excellent throughout.Course (layout/challlenge)

Both the 9 hole and Old Course were in brilliant condition, holes are beautifully laid out and a real challenge. Greens were true and fast. Can't wait to revisit.(Round played: Jun 2021 - Score: 85 Handicap: 14.5)

Reviewed Jul 30 2020 by Bruce V - rated 4 out of 5 Nice track - shame about the player
This was a drive-by game when the other half was on a course in the area.To say the least this wasin the height of our wet season this year and a lot of clubs were closed! this course drains well, had some standing water by others were literally closed due to flooding - so a great draining course in my opinion! greens were pure and layout enjoyable. I played the lesser 18 two circuits of the 9 hole) but the main course looked in better condition and somewhat dryer!
Great welcome, great course, lovely clubhouse, lovely services and food!
[Pro shop even lent me a carry bag as trolleys were off!]

Reviewed Apr 27 2019 by Sam R - rated 5 out of 5 Incredible greens!
I played both the main Old Course and the separate 9 hole Alliss Course as part of a society. We played the 9 hole course in the morning as a warm up, although similar in style and clearly some of the same bunker improvements from the main course have taken place. It wasn't quite as well manicured as the main course, with tees needing a cut and greens incredibly slow. The main course however was in fantastic condition. The fairways were still showing some signs of wear from the dry summer last year, but with preferred lies in place and with the fairways clearly being watered you could always find a good spot and take divots easily. The greens are the main course were absolutely flawless, so more than make up for the fairways still needing a little more time to be their best.(Round played: Apr 2019 - Score: 82 Handicap: )

The Alliss course is a 9 hole course set along side the main Ferndown Championship course, has nice fairways and excellent greens but you do need to go around twice to know where to go, finding the next tee and with your shots.Great afternoons golf, shame about the members almost making you feel you shouldn't be there.
