Lovely heathland course in great condition

I have lived in the local area for 48 years but this was my Ferndown debut on the Old course after a friend recently became a member.
We played off the whites at 6500 yards which leaves you with all 3 of the par 5s and two short par 4s as the most obvious scoring holes. Every other par 4 is 380 yards or more including an absolute monster in the 11th which needs treating as a par 5 really.
The layout is quite compact with a lot of holes running alongside each other but it's a really good heathland course and was in great late summer condition.
Both the short par 4s are good holes with the 8th needing a lay up rather than being tempted to take on the green and the camber running away, while 16 has no view of the fairway from the whites and then has a very hilly green once you get there.
A bit more undulation would make the course a real great but it's well worth playing at £43 with a member.....but probably £100+ without one.

There's a very good 9 hole course here too which I've played twice before and would be a very good option if getting on the main course is not possible or too expensive.

The greens are always in great condition and the course is laid out beautifully. It's a perfect heathland course that's always well-maintained.

Sunny morning golf

Played Ferndown as a guest, it was everything I expected. Well maintained despite the dry conditions. Greens in immaculate condition, although a small piece of one had been attacked by a burrowing animal. Try not to go in the heather, hall finding is difficult. All things considered, a fine challenge played in good company!

A gem of a course

Ferndown is a proper golf club.
Beautiful condition, great practice facilities and lovely food.
It is challenging but fair and there is a chance to score well if your game is in good shape.

very nice course, good set up

Given it was mid November the course is in great condition, lush springy fairways and fast true greens, however like all good courses you have to pay for what you get

Truly stunning!

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.

Wonderful day of golf

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.
