If you end up having a bad game, pause and take in the views. They are breathtaking!

Played here with two other golfers on the 31st August. The weather for the front nine was atrocious but thankfully the back 9 was much better and we even saw some sun! The staff in the pro shop were so welcoming and helpful. The course is very good but the views are amazing - absolutely love this course and will be back to play again.Reviewer Rating

Mr
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

What views
Amazing scenery from wherever you look. Greens are tough but beautifully presented. If you go in the rough then unforgiving. This will test out the best of golfers. You will have to think your way around the course. If given a chance, make sure you play this course.Reviewer Rating

Totally let down
Right - my group of 12 club golfers booked to play a round at I o P on Sept 14th - I waited to see if I would hear further from them, but no!Good course, great holes and wonderful views. However:
1. They had our booking, but had forgotten to book tee times for us, so we were rushed to the 8th tee without finishing our snacks and drinks
2. For some reason, buggies were banned, so our pre-booked buggies not available, which meant some of us, being elderly, were unable to play, and had to wait in the Clubhouse. Excuse was waterlogged course, which was not true
3. Greens were ridiculous - good healthy grass, but either NOT cut, or cut to c 10mm. Either way, so slow as to be unplayable IMHO
4. Most of the paths were stony, pitted, and an accident waiting to happen.
I complained to the day to the lady in the Office who was courteous and apologetic, but no real explanation. It would have been a simple gesture to have offered us a partial refund, or maybe a drink on the house - but nothing at all.
Great course, but needs either a change of Greenkeeper, Management or both!

Fantastic course with great views

Panmure G.C.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.
