Highly Recommended 2018
What the club says: This magnificent heathland course is consistently ranked among the top 100 courses in the British Isles by Golf World. It dates back to 1892 and the original 18 holes were extended to 27 under Enid Blyton's ownership. It has great coastal views across The Solent to the Isle of Wight and if you fancy arriving at the course in style, there is a ferry that can take you to the course across the water.

Great Course & Views
Great course and amazing views on a day with not a cloud in the sky. I?d heard many reports that the condition of Isle of Purbeck was really poor so was not expecting much even though the green fee including coffee and a bacon bap was only ?25. The greens were fine and relatively quick and the bunkers were in good condition - the fairways were very poor but as it was preferred lies it didn?t make much difference to my golf. As this was my last round pre lockdown it was actually a really good value golf day with amazing weather for early November.








Disappointing
Returning to the course after 25 year gap. Fairways totally destroyed. Still the views are tremendous and the greens improving from obvious damage. Grass seed has been scattered on some fairways, but no use this year,


























BGA Singles 2020
Very tough test especially in the wind and rain. Fairways were in shocking condition in need a lot of work. Pick and place is a must.(Round played: Oct 2020 - Score: 80 Handicap: 10.7)

Very Disappointing
This course has always been on my bucket list of places to play, Must admit I was very disappointed with the course not worth the 55 pound fee, I've played better courses for less.Fairways were non existent hardly any grass on them just dry potted mud made the ball bounce all over the place even if you hit great shot. Greens weren't much better full of pot marks and very slow









Stunning Views, Amazing Layout, Poor Conditions
Such a shame to see a course of this magnitude in such poor condition in the height of summer. The layout and views are fantastic however the experience was ruined by diseased greens, running at a slow pace. All in all I would return to the Isle of Purbeck for the twilight fee of £25, in good condition this course could command £50 + and represent great value! Such a shame!








Avoid at all costs
I last played the Isle of Purbeck about 15 years ago and at that time it was a gem of a course worthy of it status in the top 100 in England We visited this weekend as a group and I have to say the experience was simply awful. The fairways are burnt to a crisp and have virtually no grass on them. The greens had not been cut in a while and had disease in them. The welcome in the clubhouse was poor to say the least. The only discerning feature of this course at the moment is that it does still have great views but personally I would not go there again EVER until they make investment in the course and the clubhouse - so sad this was one a real treat sadly no longer

What a shame
Played this course yesterday, the views are outstanding and course layout is great. The maintenance of the course was very poor, no grass in many of the fairways meaning preferred lies in play. The greens are in a awful state. A 25 year member told us management has changed hands and what was a truly outstanding course is now one of the worse around the area. Such a shame as I’m sure in its peak this would be wonderful to play but now I would give this a miss.








Will play again !




Fantastic environment for golf
What a treat. Conditions were wet in places, but nothing could spoil the enjoyment of playing a great course with stunning scenery. With a number of blind tee shots this place would improve over repeated visits. A number of stand out holes, but 5th and 11th stay in the mind. Lovely clubhouse and able to eat and soak in the views to Poole harbour.






Course with amazing views
Amazing views during whole round. The 5th whole is stunning and worth it alone. Great golf course.(Round played: Oct 2019 - Score: 90 Handicap: 16.8)


















Great fun practice 9 holer, even better views









Brilliant Course
Brilliant Course with lots of hazards, very tough when windy. would reccommend but for high handcappers on a bad day not easy(Round played: Jul 2019 - Score: 108 Handicap: 19.8)









Not that good
The course unfortunately was not in a good condition. The fairways were very poor as were the greens. The club still want for people to pay top price when really they should lower it when the course is in this sort of condition.(Round played: Jul 2019 - Score: 88 Handicap: 12.1)









Nice course
Had a society day there, love to play it again, now I know what lies around the corner !!! Difficult course got to think about each hole, due to the dry weather like all courses at present ground was very hard. Word of warning, keep it on the fairway !!! As the gorse and heather takes no prisoners !
