I'm a beginner and live local to this course, I enjoy playing here as it is beginner friendly but also a great place to gain confidence. It's a nice place to play twilight golf as it's only a fiver and you can complete your round in 2 hours easily.
The staff are very friendly and helpful and the driving range is best value in town at £3.50 for 70 balls.
Definitely the place to play if you're just starting out or you just fancy a relaxed game.

Great place to have a knock. When all the other courses are closed in Bournemouth Solent Meads stays open due to great drainage!

Interesting course suitable for all standards. Great drainage and good greens. Staff are friendly and helpful. Can use every club in the bag (even woods) as some holes play long. RECOMMEND!!!

We went on a Saturday morning and enjoyed that we didn't have to book in advance. The course is definitely a great place for beginners to start and for those who like a relaxing game. The staff was friendly all around. We had a lesson too which really helped both of our swings. It is extremely economical and for once I didn't lose all my balls in the woods.

This is the perfect course to practice your short game, or for beginners to gain confidence. It is easy, flat, and virtually treeless. There are a couple of tricky bunkers, and some slice inticing Out of Bounds on the back nine, and its usually fairly blowy as its on an exposed headland. Its always dry, because its just sand under the grass. It beats the other par 3 courses in the area because it has some longer holes, and you get to use all your clubs. Its been a perfect training ground for us.

Great course for beginners and anyone looking to practise their short game or just for a relaxed round that only takes 2 hours to complete. Greens are looking much better than they were last year and the course improvements are coming on nicely.

It's an awful long time since I have played here. Not the greatest challenge but good to begin playing the game. Value for money but not one to go back to for me tho.

Excellent Practice Course

The 18 hole course is great for beginners who want to play a round but aren't ready for a full length course yet. Likewise, more experienced players will find this course great to practice their short game. The holes are between 60 - 200 yards in length which overs some nice variety. The fairways are relatively wide and the lack of trees/water makes this a forgiving course. The greens are also in good condition too. It's not a luxury golf club, but it's great value, making this a perfect place to practice in a real world setting.
