Had a great winter round of golf at Folke Golf Course today. Even though its been raining a lot it was pretty good under foot. Course was in great condition, greens smooth, even and true. Fairways generous, course challenging enough to make for a good round. Staff are really nice and very welcoming.

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.

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.

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 .

We arrived just in time (sat nav having taken us to the wrong course!). Everyone we met was very welcoming and the course was in fantastic condition given the heavy rains in April. The starter and Marshall who made sure play was at a reasonable pace were very helpful and friendly. Greens were fast and true. The cost of the round reflected the quality of the course. Thank you

Specifically a review on the coaching and Pro Shop. Had lessons with Bailey Birch since the beginning of this year. Couldn’t have imagined such a big change in my swing and my enjoyment of the game since having lessons with him. Lessons in particular are very good. Lots of important information and always a positive outcome with a specific working point to work on inbetween lessons. This always led to a visible solid improvement without overloading me on too many issues with my swing at once. Couldn’t recommend him enough if considering lessons whether it’s a playing lesson, range session or in the simulator.

One of the top 100 golf courses in GB. Harry Colt design, very beautiful throughout, but very unforgiving. If you in doubt, then think twice before you hit……

Rating: 5 / 5

The course was in magnificent condition. Food in the bar was really nice (avo toast particularly!). All staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Would play again.

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!

Lovely 9 holes of golf. Easy to book via website we were advised pro shop would be shut that day and to check in at clubhouse. Warm welcome on arrival and purchased range tokens and rental trollies. Other players/members chatty and welcoming, and nice round. Uncle hadn’t played for about 10 years so nice course for him to get his swing back. Wasn’t rushed about on the course. nice course and very welcoming. Highly recommended for a peaceful round of golf at a fair price.

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.

Friendly relaxed golf club and great for kids to learn.

Really enjoyable round at Isle of Purbec Golf Club, greens are running fast and true, rough is tough and unforgiving (if you can find the ball !) Of particular note are the views around the course, which are unsurpassed !

Rating: 5 / 5

Great course, amazing views, if the wind is up it plays really tough, be prepared to lose a lot of balls. Well worth a visit.

Rating: 5 / 5

Stunning place to play golf, the course is a decent challenge and has beautiful views where ever you are. Well appointed clubhouse and plenty of parking. Can’t wait to play it again.

Stunning golf course that will test all your skills and abilities. Pick your tee box wisely. Played here in late July & was able to book a reasonably priced green fee on their website in the afternoon. First impressions in the pro-shop were excellent and that is because we met the manager (apologies I have forgotten your name) who chatted to use and helped us with sorting out an electric buggy and giving help on how to play the first holes to get us started. Wonderful way to start the round, thank you. Isle of Purbeck Golf Club has some stunning views on some great holes, so be prepared to get some amazing photos as you walk the course. If you are walking, be prepared as it is a big course to walk with ups & downs for all 18 holes. The reason for 4* is that we were held up by a 4 ball of tourists who really didn't know how to play at a decent pace or understand that they were holding up play & should have allowed us and another group to play through. There were no course marshals to manage the pace of play. This was quite frustrating. The course was dry and the greens were in good condition, we were lucky enough to play on a warm sunny afternoon, which obviously helped with the positive experience. There are plenty of interesting & different holes on this course. No experience of the clubhouse or the restaurant as we were late finishing our round & needed to leave as soon as we finished. Looking forward to returning.

Lovely course with greens and fairways in great condition. Welcoming staff. Very nice pro shop, bar and restaurant. My only criticism is of the green keeping staff who were cutting areas around the tee boxes who showed little consideration when teeing off. On one hole, the guy with the blower blew grass cuttings into me while I sat in a buggy prior to teeing off. I had bits of grass in my eyes and even into my mouth. I think they should be a little more mindful of the players. Other than that, I very much enjoyed my round in a club that had a friendly atmosphere. Great variety of holes, many with beautiful views. Very happy to play there again.

This being my home club I’m maybe a bit biased ⛳️ after a very dry summer and no grass on the fairways we are now seeing the grass growing well. Green are all getting there make over and starting to recover well. we have a very well stocked pro shop and will soon have a golf simulator purpose built to improve your golf ⛳️ we have a full catering service and a very comfortable Club house.🥶 Winter has arrived but the course is holding out, cold and sunny winter golf ⛳️ roll on the spring. Still worth a visit on a nice day ⛳️🥶

Food was amazing. Had a lovely Sunday lunch here. There was a lot of us but they catered well and food was great. Lovely staff and will definitely come again.

Lovely golf club, super clubhouse, today the fairways and greens were about as good as you can get at this time of the year, very tight so if you are a bit wayward beware of the trees. I wasn't and paid the penalty. Ouch.

Rating: 4 / 5

Very friendly clubhouse & Pro shop. Nice putting & chipping area, plus short practice area, irons only. Good array of holes, some challenging Tee-Shots if you feel brave...

Had a great day at WGC , very friendly staff and the course is fantastic. Our playing partners Dave and Mike were great hosts. Definitely recommend having a round even the weather was great for a change , none of the wet stuff and plenty of sun.

Not given the course a go yet but have to give a major shoutout to the pro shop and fitting studio they have on site, came in after a few uncertainties about my clubs. Within a few shots the pro Steve who had been monitoring me very quickly picked up the issues I had with my setup and as he brought up, nothing was wrong in the selection I had both head and shaft wise but all it required to get me striking it much more consistently was to set them up 1* flat which instantly made a change in the flight path of the ball and clearly wasn’t trying to push to replace them like many places I’ve been to have. Also gave much comforting guidance without the typical route some people reading the text book as any golfer is not going to swing or setup the same. All this service including the club adjustments came to a very respectful price, highly recommend them if you’re around this area looking to be fitted or simply after some good advice on your golf game or equipment.

I have played the course only twice and it is in great condition the course is very tricky at times but a good challenge. The pro shop is fully stocked with everything the golfer needs. Friendly staff and very helpful and welcoming. Thanks Harley. The food is excellent. Highly recommend ferdown forest for golf or to eat. Thank you to all the staff for all your good work. See you very soon Gary ☺️

Absolutely stellar experience at this driving range! I've been a frequent visitor lately, and each time leaves me more impressed than the last. The Toptracer technology is great, enhancing the fun and improving my game with precise feedback. What's even better is the flexibility in payment—you pay per basket of balls, so there's no rush to finish. Also, during the week from 8am - 4pm there's no need to book, you only need turn up. Whether it's a post-lunch session or a pre-breakfast swing, this place accommodates perfectly. It has quickly become a top destination for me, and I'll definitely make it a point to swing by whenever I'm in the area. Highly recommend to all golf enthusiasts! Review for yet another breakfast here... I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Full English Breakfast at The Forest Inn and wow—it was fantastic! As someone who loves a good fry-up, this one truly delivered and set me up perfectly for a great session on the driving range afterward. I went for the Full Dorset Breakfast, priced at £12, and it was worth every penny. It came with two New Forest bacon rashers, two butcher’s pork sausages, eggs cooked to perfection, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns, Heinz baked beans, and delicious Bakehouse24 sourdough toast. Every element of the dish was cooked beautifully and tasted fresh, from the savoury sausages to the perfectly crisp bacon. To top it all off, I had a lovely latte alongside the breakfast. It was smooth, rich, and complemented the meal perfectly—just what I needed to kickstart the day. The portion size was generous, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. It was the perfect start to the day, filling me up with just the right amount of energy for my golf practice. I highly recommend The Forest Inn if you’re in the area, whether you’re a golfer or not. Their Full Dorset Breakfast is a must-try for anyone who appreciates a hearty and well-executed fry-up.
