To have all of the bunkers being refurbished and having two temporary greens really put a dampener on this course. Such a shame.

One of the premier courses in Dorset. Played on a very cold day !!! There is a lot of on course work going on with most of the bunkers undergoing complete refurbishment so were unplayable, it will be great to play this coming summer.

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.

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!Reviewer Rating

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.

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!]
