A decent round of golf considering the weather ! Very quiet round which suited us and at £25 not a bad price for a quality course still in great nick ! Greens were in excellent condition and a very testing course in the windy conditions. Course offers stunning views and has some great interesting holes that are a test for any golfer. Will certainly play again. Plenty of work being carried out by ground staff to keep it open going into the Winter. Well done to all staff.

A truly fabulous course with stunning holes and views. An absolute must for anyone who wants to play one of the nest courses in the south of England.\The only sour note was the exceptionally poor reception in the pro shop on Saturday 4 October. We didn\'t allow this to spoil our day but were rather taken aback.

Great golf course, the signature hole I think it's the 5th is amazing. The heather eats balls for breakfast, great steak and ale pie in the clubhouse.

Very testing course for the high handicapper and the way I played it for mid handicappers too!!Im not sure what catagory fits this course as its not quite a links but it certainly isnt a parkland course either.The views over Poole Harbour and the surrounding countryside are stunning if the sun is out however it can be a very different challenge if the weather is unkind.

Great course, very scenic with challenging holes.
If you drive the ball well you will have a good round, and you get lucky with the weather.
Some of the pathways could do with attention, but in fantastic condition for this time of year, and resent weather!!!

This is really a good test of Golf and is best played without the wind, I think it has the best 4 par three's in the South West and is a definate must to play.

I think this is God’s own golf course. The views are stunning and it’s a good test of golf especially in the wind. The flora and fauna are out of the top drawer. Recent improvements have transformed the course from how it was a couple of years back.Reviewer Rating

Mr
I saw this comment from another reviewer (who was clearly upset and gave a poor rating). He wrote, " Most of the paths were stony, pitted, and an accident waiting to happen." The course is on land owned by The National Trust and they work with Natural England. Natural England say, " .. we help conserve, enhance and manage the natural environment". The course is on heathland which has poor soils and is naturally very stoney. Concrete, plastic and other non-natural materials are unsuitable. In the wettest part of paths wood chippings and gravel are put down to prevent golfers slipping and falling.I am the seniors captain for 2023 and naturally biased towards my home course. It is the one I have chosen out of a number of fine local courses. For over 30 years I have also been a member of a course that in November 2022 was voted by The World Golf Awards, which were held in Abu Dhabi Europe’s Best Golf Course. That course measures 6,416 metres and the Isle of Purbeck is 6,295 yards. But heather and gorse is a great leveller.

A wonderful challenge
The greens have really responded to the new greenskeeper's touch, plus investment in equipment, a lot of the gorse has been cut back and has recovered well, with many holes now fully opened up for great views, and the course is now in superb condition. Harry Colt's design has been allowed to flow back and IOP deserves the return of its reputation as a great and enjoyable seaside course challenge.Reviewer Rating
