Friendly welcome for non members in the clubhouse, (don't go in in muddy boots!) Good bear food, good beer.

Rating: 5 / 5

Stunning course with breath taking views. Very friendly members and well kept greens. Really loved playing and had a great beer in the clubhouse afterwards. It's a challenging course but before all the bracken starts growing its actually quite forgiving.

Absolute gem of a course. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere on arrival (we ordered some breakfast before heading out and the super helpful chap behind the bar let us know that we could head out a bit earlier if we wanted rather than wait for our allocated tee time) Course was in great shape, the greens were beautiful and a credit to the grounds staff. The holes were varied and made you think about where you needed to play to make life easier for yourself (we are mid teen handicap). Loved the sheep roaming around the course and of course the views, the views are magnificent. Can’t wait to come back and play again. Easily one of my favourites - would give it 6 stars if I could

I played in a ladies match this week on this outstanding golf course. Reputably the highest golf course in England. I had the perfect clear sunny day with 360degrees spectacular views. Very friendly club and I enjoyed my food too.

Rating: 5 / 5

What a fantastic place to play golf, the course was in immaculate condition and played very well. Greens were fast and consistent. The course provided a good challenge but there’s plenty of options to score well if you are on top of your game!

Played Parkstone yesterday after some of the worst rain I've seen, i couldn't believe the condition the course was in, it was immaculate! The course layout is by far the best I've played with each hole offering something different and lot to think about. The views from the golf course are just simply stunning! The marshal Nick had fantastic knowledge of the course which really helped when navigating the course. All staff are very welcoming and nothing is to much bother. Cant wait to come back and would highly recommend this course to anyone!

Amazing course, in fantastic condition. Lucky enough to be invited as a guest to Parkstone. What a day. The course is a good length, a mix of parkland and heathland with a woodland section as well. Very varied, which makes it even more fun. Greens were fast and also true. Fairways in great condition. Tee boxes are good and flat, I've putted on worse condition green's. I would recommend you take the opportunity to play here if it presents itself.

Played a lot of Courses, but Parkstone is different class! Great condition...with each hole being something different. Loved it!

Great afternoon! James the owner is really helpful and always on hand. The set up and technology is fantastic and you can have a beer while playing a world famous course. Looking forward to going again!

Smash Factor GC have recently upgraded to a Trackman IO, it’s brilliant! Was already a great experience, but now it’s even better! So many stats to track, brilliant courses to play - we played Pinehurst No. 2 today, US Open 2024 course is real difficult. Will be back soon to beat our scores.

Awesome place with a great host. This is perfect for friends or even solo practice. The playing area is in perfect condition and great choices of drinks available! 10/10, will definitely be back soon!

Rating: 5 / 5

Visited whilst on business in the area. I would recommend this facility for anyone who wants to practice, work on their game or just have some fun with friends. It’s a great alternative to a driving range and the latest Trackman IO will provide data as well as the ability to play on some of the words best courses. James the owner was very helpful and friendly throughout my visit. I will certainly be back again next time I am in the area. Only 30mins from central Bath too so well located!

Such a lovely golf club, came here to practice our swing (not very experienced golfers). The range is beautiful and you can hit off real grass, a useful experience when you're a beginner. The putting/pitching course is amazing. Visited the gold shop to look around and the service was really friendly, didn't feel out of place. Wish I was good enough to go out on the green, must be amazing.

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.

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 👍

What a little gem of a golf course! We visited on a lovely day and I had a lesson with Charlie, who was an excellent teacher, and made me feel at ease. The course has a family atmosphere to it, not intimidating like other places. The little cafe has a beautiful setting and a nice selection of dishes. Shame you're an hour away from is, hopefully we can visit soon!

Friendly relaxed golf club and great for kids to learn.

Tricky little golf course, plays 18, designed around a 9 hole. No par 5's but lots of par 4's (and long ones). T Boxes were difficult to get T pegs into the ground. Lovely and flat course. Such a pretty course to play. Very enjoyable. This was the first time in 20 years of my golfing experiences (and I have played many courses)...that I have ever seen steps into a bunker !! Luckily I didn't have to use them 🙃

Mike Dodd and all the junior coaches are fantastic. So welcoming and friendly. My son really enjoys going. They have a workbook with targets to aim for. It helps with focus and strives them to always move forward. It's a beautiful 9-hole course tucked away in Sturminster Marshall. It's definitely worth a visit for a coffee in the club house and chat with Mike.

Brilliant course brilliant staff , Absolutely great experience the course is immaculate full credit to green staff and management for what is truly a tip top course , there are normally one or two holes on a course that you think to yourself are a little weak or don’t quite fit right , but not here everyone of the holes are beauty’s get there for a game if you can , played on Monday the 25th of July .

Great course in another 10 years will be even better. Nice clubhouse as well. Some very special holes and a good test

Rating: 5 / 5

Best course I've played at in Dorset. The condition was excellent. The clubhouse is relaxed with great views. Some really memorable and challenging holes, but fair test of golf.

Wonderful golf course in exceptional condition. Played on a sunny Sunday afternoon and felt like only ones on the course! Very friendly welcome from staff and we were well looked after. Thanks very much!

Rating: 5 / 5

Course is in great condition ,fairways are good and greens are well looked after. The clubhouse serves some great food and has good beers on tap. The pro shop has some good stock and plenty of items. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Best Sunday roast by far. Excellent food and great value.

Rating: 5 / 5

Visited the clubhouse restaurant for a Sunday roast. Lovely friendly atmosphere and excellent customer service. The food was really good and arrived quickly to our table. Generous portion sizes and waitress looked after us throughout our meal. I would recommend booking a table in advance as it gets quite busy as very popular!! I'm definitely visiting again as I heard their full English breakfast is amazing. Highly Recommend.

Well well what can I say about Ashley wood the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow its the first time I've played here and probably the best course in Dorset that doesn't require a handicap to attend. Had a quick bite before we started pleasantly surprised booked a buggy as I knew slope index would be high and man in pro shop matched the hot deal price as it's cheaper so value for money was great. Didn't get my best score but got a few pars thanks to the tattooed golf coach Harry shaws lessons at parley and the views here at blandford were picturesque and course is well looked after and we play quick with the buggy and slower group in front let us through pretty quick which was great only wished I lived closer to the course as I'd loved to be a member here but we'll worth the 45 minute drive so we'll be visiting again very soon.

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.

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. ⛳😁🏌️‍♀️

We played a Dorset past captains match versus Hampshire past captains ⛳️ The course was in excellent condition very well manicured, the greens were very fast and true. The catering was also good and all the staff were very friendly. The club captain was in our first group out and he set a high standard with his course knowledge,well played Rob ⛳️ if you are in the area I would recommend a visit for a good challenging game and the bar is just the job on a hot day sitting on the patio 🏖️ or just pop in for a bit to eat and a drink🍹

Rating: 5 / 5

Very well laid out course with exceptional views. Considering it's on the top of a hill the holes go round rather than up and down except one heart attack hole - 10th?. Greens were superb - relatively small and undulating. The course's main defence is the wind and you really have to be able to play it to score well. £25 for a twilight round after 3pm is a bargain. Definitely go and play it.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course. Nice and dry under foot but very 🌬️ windy

Rating: 5 / 5

Played an inter-club match on 9 May. Course was in outstanding condition. Having been battered by torrents of rain, gales of wind & seemingly endless gloom, it was as if the land itself was rejoicing in the sunshine. Greens were in first class cibdition, if a little slow. Could not fault the fairways, bunkers or rough. Meal afterwards was excellent. Altogether, a very good day.

Rating: 5 / 5

First time playing the course. As I am playing Porthcawl soon I wanted to practice at a links-style course. This was just the ticket. Several demanding holes, tricky approach shots & almost guaranteed wind. The place is very friendly and the course is in an excellent condition. The twilight offer makes it brilliant value - just remember that it is pay and play, rather than booking online. Will definitely play again!

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

Rating: 4 / 5

Lovely golf venue with 3 9 hole courses, all 3 are a good challenge and normally in really good condition. Pro shop is well stocked and the staff are friendly. The clubhouse is large and has ample seating inside and out, good range of beers and Cider, food is also spot on. Across the road they have a large trackman equipped driving range which is great for warming up before a round.
