Back after 20 years. 15th oldest in the world. Stunning old clubhouse modelled on Royal Calcutta. Everything 5 star from the superb breakfast, the wonderfull golf course with the 6th hole which the great Ben Hogan said was his idea of our perfect golf hole and has been renamed " Hogan " with bunker added which he suggested, also the friendly staff and Pros.
Walk in the footsteps of greatness visit Panmure.

Phenomenal

This has to be one of the best courses in the country for views over the Purbeck hills and Poole Harbour, come miles of beaches at Bournemouth.

Not a course for handicaps >15 or those that can’t clear 150yards minimum off 3very tee. Fairways very poor with rabbit holes and bare patches.

Awful fairways, ruining a good design

I was really disappointed with my recent round at Purbeck.

Having seen many pictures, the course looked brilliant. I had heard a few reviews suggesting that the fairways weren't being kept up but I had no idea how bad they were. Yes the greens were ok, the tee boxes too, but given the weather we have had recently the fairways were in shocking condition. Worst I have ever played. There were many rabbit holes on the fairway, but many were also playing off of condensed mud.

We paid at the slightly reduced rate of £50 and that felt about £25 too much. The course and the views are stunning, and the staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly, but clearly the course has had zero investment in it and as a result I would not recommend to anyone.

Some had travelled from America to play it, and they cannot have been at all impressed with the standard.

(Round played: May 2021 - Score: 107 Handicap: 18.9)

Mr

P.ahed the course this week after a long absence and was looking forward to playing as I had great memories of a fantastic test of golf

Whilst the greens were recovering from it would be unfair to rate them but they were relatively quick which was a good sign

Fairways were absolutely awful and can’t see a time this summer where it would be possible to play anything but winter rules

It’s a great shame as this has the potential to be one of the countries great courses with a fantastic setting and spectacular holes

Everyone should play this course once in their lives and my message to the owners are please restore this course to a co diction it deserves whatever it takes - it’s a national treasure and should be presented as such

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,

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!
