Just finished another brilliant lesson with Natalie. She is gradually reconstructing my swing (full of bad habits) with much patience and positivity. Now every time I go to the golf range or course I see significant improvement. A 30 minute lesson can make such a difference and Natalie makes it fun too!

Having never even picked up a club I decided to have a taster session today with Natalie at Sherborne. I absolutely loved the taster session. Natalie encouraged me right from the beginning by showing me how to hold the club, what to work on and her enthusiasm and encouragement were amazing. I am so excited about future lessons with my new venture. Thank you so much.

I've joined Natalie's Learn to Play Golf level 1 sessions. I'm really enjoying the lessons and feel that I'm making progress. Natalie is an excellent coach, patient and encouraging . She emphasises the basics, so we can build on firm foundations

The best golf lesson I’ve ever had! Natalie’s teaching technique gives you so much confidence. Really enjoyed my 1st lesson with Natalie & looking forward to improving my game.

Our first ever round at BWDGC, and I have to say that the course was fantastic. Spectacular views, some outstanding holes, especially the 6th, and it was in great condition. A very warm welcome from the staff on arrival and everybody could not have been friendlier. Everyone we spoke to during the day, including other golfers, made our visit most memorable. I would definitely recommend a trip to all golfers, and I hope to visit again someday.

Fantastic course in lovely condition, great fun playing in the wind and spectacular views at almost every hole

Rating: 4 / 5

First visit, very impressed with the facilities, loved the 6th hole and the course location on the coast. The stunning weather enhanced our experience. The only negative is the risk to the general public/walkers.

Warm welcome, fab breakfast and service (we’ll forget the coffee spillage lol). Great course in excellent condition, tight fairways with some challenging par 3s, the signature 8th is great! Greens ran well and are all challenging in various degrees. And what about the views. A gem of a course, for £30… bargain! Will return!

Friendly club, good catering, new menu, good selection of drinks, great golf and absolutely superb views - todays weather was beautiful, windy, wet, and cold at times, but the golf wasn't too bad. Loved ir

Lovely course, nice wide fairways. Unfortunately the greens had just been vertidrained so putting was not easy. The views around the course are stunning.

Even though the weather was against us , the wind was howling helping soak us we had a great day ! The course was in excellent condition. Some very difficult holes especially with the conditions I would definitely recommend having a round of golf here. The staff and members were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Definitely will be back for another round soon, hopefully without the sad weather.

Amongst the most beautiful views anywhere in the world, very rare for weather to close the course. Hares and deer a common feature. CLUBHOUSE OPENING AGAIN NEXT WEEK

We have had our annual group members (for 80 members, though we could easily fill more places) afternoon cream tea at Crane Valley for the past 3 years. Every year they provide the same superb food and service. Nothing is to much trouble for the staff, the facilities are top notch with the 80 place function room with bar and lounge area with views over the scenic golf course down to the lake. Highly recommended.

A beautiful day spent with my son and friends watching the Dorset Amateur Championships. Tom in the semi-finals and the course was great. The greens looked beautiful.

Crane Valley Golf Club offers a great dining experience. The food was simply amazing, with a variety of delicious options that cater to all tastes. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring that every need was met promptly. A special mention goes to Jon, whose professionalism and dedication significantly enhanced our visit. Highly recommended for both golf enthusiasts and those seeking a memorable meal in a beautiful setting.

Teriffic round at Crane Valley GC. Played like a donkey, but that wasn't down to the course, which wasn't long, but was technical in places. Hit some good shots, but also some shockers, think I should have left the putter in the car too ! Enjoyable course, even in the drizzle !

Lovely golf club. My father, brother and I used to play here a lot 15-20-odd years ago when we lived nearby. We played here again today for old-time-sake and the place still has that lovely local friendly atmosphere / owner. Great course for the money, greens were good for the time of year. Really well-priced clubhouse restaurant; good quality sandwiches at a great price! Was nice to play here again.

Weird experience of playing same greens twice (but from different tees), but at least you know what to expect 2nd time around! Surprised to find the fairways and greens played well despite all the rain we've had, so kudos to ground staff. Clubhouse and staff are very welcoming and food is very good. Changing facilities are also good (much improved recently).

Played today on their Christmas Golf Special, what a great deal!!! Staff are brilliant, very welcoming and helpful. Course in unbelievable condition after all the storms we have had. Thank you Dorset Golf & Country Club, look forward to returning soon.

Just returned from a one night and two round stay. We had an enjoyable time and the golf course was in superb condition. All three 9’s were a challenge in their own way. All staff were very helpful and the bar staff in particular kept the bar open late in the evening for us, thanks for that. Only negative was the Halfway House was shut both days and during peak times when a lot of golfers wanted a mid round snack.

We stayed in a lodge which was spacious and well equipped. Just a short walk to the restaurant and facilities at the clubhouse. Indoor short mat bowls,and what looked like a good golf course although we didn't use it

I hardly ever leave reviews, because I'm hard to please anyway. Stand up and take a bow all staff at Moors Valley Golf club.Friendly staff, great value for money,wonderfully kept course and excellent greens. It was a scorching day today and the pro shop lad came round with free ice cold water to top up your old bottles. Never had that on any other course and I've played such courses like the Belfry and Lytham St Anne's. Nice touch and, of course, we will be back. Keep up the brilliant work folks.

Great golf course set in lovely woodland surrounds with plenty of challenging greens. The greens, fairways and bunkers are well tended & manicured. The staff and members are welcoming and friendly. The clubhouse offers good value food & drink with seating inside and out. Buggies and other equipment can be hired.

The best golf course that I have played in a long time, every thing about the place was 1st class. Very warm welcome on arrival which continue all day staff excellent. The courses was thoughtless . I didn't play all that well but was a pleasure to have played it and looking forward to returning and hopefully playing better.

A very friendly welcome from the pro shop on arrival with a good hearty breakfast in the clubhouse with a warm welcome. Weather conditions were overcast with a good downpour after 15 holes,but this did not stop us having a good days golf ⛳️. The course was heavy under foot from the previous day’s ☔️ rain but the fairways were nice to play off if played clean off the preferred lies, as for the greens they are very fast for November and very true. All in all a good away day worth a trip 👍

A good friend and I travelled to play an open competition at Sherborne recently. Not only was the course in good condition, but the staff made us feel very welcome and appreciated. Even the captain made time to introduce himself and make us feel at home. This course will ask questions of anyones game, regardless of ability. If you’re thinking about visiting, then book yourself in, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to all concerned.

Fantastic course lovely greens.made putting so much easier on a true surface

Rating: 5 / 5

We try to play a different course each week. This was delightful to play !! Beautiful tree-lined fairways...very narrow in places...lots of par 4's and 5 in the 1st 9. Many undulations, sloping fairways, hills, and doglegs left and right gets you golf fit pushing your cart. Tricky approaches coming in to some "fast & foxy" greens. This 18 hole course has a great layout. Extremely friendly members and staff. The facilities are modern and inviting. We will definitely be back as it was only 20 min from home. What a find. ⛳😁🏌️‍♀️

A lovely golf course, well worth the visit. This course is not the longest if courses, but is nonetheless quite challenging. Researching the layout before attending will help you. Really nice clubhouse and friendly staff. Also a well stocked little shop. A couple of driving nets to warm up, or if you want, a driving range to practice at. If the weather has been very wet, there will be standing water, although the drainage is very good, it can be overwhelmed. I will 100% play here again.

Had a great day out at Bulbury today. The course is tight in places and very unforgiving if you stray off the fairway. It was in excellent condition. The staff made you feel very welcome and were very friendly.
