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.

Very friendly staff and lovely location for an afternoon round. Will definitely visit again.
Rating: 4 / 5
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).

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.

Lovely course, obviously lots of work gone into it recently, well manicured fairways and lovely treacherous greens. First and second cuts a little too long perhaps, finding a ball just off the Fairway took a bit too long. Very nice clubhouse. Lovely catering. Too many scuffed drives, chopped chips and poorly putts though. Luckily today they belonged to someone else đ, liked the chickens.

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.

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 !

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.

Pins changed once a week, bunkers raked everyday, greens mowed everyday. Can get windy on top of ridgeway with lovely views over Weymouth to the south and Dorchester and north Dorset to the north. Friendly and welcoming members and staff. Home of the Ryder cup, go and have a great game of golf

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

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

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.
Rating: 4 / 5
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 donât quite fit right , but not here everyone of the holes are beautyâs get there for a game if you can , played on Monday the 25th of July .

Ferndown Forest Golf Course & Toptracer Driving Range
Forest Links Rd, Ferndown BH22 9PH, UK | Sports Club P: 01202 876096
Rating: 4.3 (141) Price Level:
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 paymentâyou 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 wowâit 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 ÂŁ12, and it was worth every penny. It came with two New Forest bacon rashers, two butcherâs 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 perfectlyâjust 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 youâre in the area, whether youâre a golfer or not. Their Full Dorset Breakfast is a must-try for anyone who appreciates a hearty and well-executed fry-up.

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 âşď¸

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 wasnât trying to push to replace them like many places Iâve 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 youâre around this area looking to be fitted or simply after some good advice on your golf game or equipment.

Played here 7/3/23 : always drove past this place and never had chance to play. I managed get finished early on a job, rang clubhouse and someone answered straight away. I was concerned the course may be closed due to the rain overnight and in the morning but was informed the course was open. I welcomed to pop down anytime as most people had stayed home because of the weather. I arrived and went in the clubhouse and was very impressed. Well stocked shelves, plenty of staff working so was served straight away I teed off at 13:30ish, the round cost me ÂŁ13.50. I was informed the course was having maintenance carried out on it, which was great so I was fully aware. I have to say I was impressed with this course. Itâs definitely not the longest, but there are plenty of tricky hazards to make you really think about your yardages. Itâs a great course to improve your iron play if you hit it long enough. I was really impressed with the greens. Although they had been hollow tined (spiked) the greens rolled really well, weâre in great condition. The fairways were in good condition despite the time of year, I was given a good quality winter rules mat to play off. Usually even if itâs a high end club your given a strip of artificial grass which curls up and is difficult to play off. This was on a solid piece of plastic with ground spikes All the ground maintenance team were friendly and polite, they could see which greens I was approaching so worked that around which greens they did I would definitely recommend this course and I look forward to coming back in the summer to see how well it looks with all the works going on

Rating: 4.3 (337) Price Level:
Really surprised at how good the course is with extensive practice facilities (range, short game, and greens). Right by the airport runway which adds a novelty. Can get very boggy in the rain but not an issue at the moment. The food hygiene is very poor with flies buzzing all around the kitchen and crawling all over their coffee machine and other equipment.

Very nice golfcourse, first time we played there. We would have appreciated some signs along the way pointing to the next T box..We got lost a couple of times....perfect and flat for me as I was pulling a cart. 2 hours for 9 holes...comfortable play. It did get busier as the morning progressed. Early morning T off was achievable and helped our experience.Very friendly staff and golfers made it more enjoyable. We will definitely be returning to get familiar with the layout.

We've only been for the driving range and it is cracking fun. It has become our go to driving range as we love using top tracer. Not being professional, intermediate or barely amateur đ the steely atmosphere is a little off putting. Thank god they have a back corner to go and tee off.

I was working in the area and turned up to see if I could use the driving range. Friendly helpful staff, well priced and excellent facilities. Will definitely go again and might try the course as a quick walk and look showed a well maintained and nicely set course.

Dudmoor Farm Golf Course
Dudmoor Farm Rd, Christchurch BH23 6AQ, UK | Golf Course P: 01202 473826
Rating: 4.2 (61) Price Level:
I've been to a lot of riding schools over the years, and Dudmoor is up there with some of the best. We've recently moved to Bournemouth from Hertfordshire. We tried another riding stables a few weeks ago but it was dirty, the horses run-down and the teacher not very good. I thought I'd be looking a while to find a decent school, but Dudmoor Farm is wonderful. For a start, it's immaculate. It's set in lovely grounds, the stables are clean and (amazingly for a riding school) even the toilet is clean. Most importantly of all though, the staff are so friendly and attentive. I've found over the years that riding schools often fall into two camps - shoddy but down-to-earth or slick but snobby. This school seems to offer the best of both worlds - lovely facilities and friendly staff. My daughter is quite shy and takes some cajoling - but the girl who taught her was brilliant. She is the first person who's properly made sure she keeps holding her reins correctly and actually taught her, rather than letting her jog round without instructing her on anything of value. She was an amazing teacher and didn't stop talking or encouraging the two riders throughout the duration of the lesson. I was incredibly impressed. We'll definitely be returning to this riding school as they're a glowing example of how to run a business.

Lovely place to learn how to play golf. The 9 holes give you a challenge with sone narrow fairways. The greens are in a good condition, considering the heatwave
Rating: 5 / 5
Great little golf course friendly staff, course is kept up to a good standard the ground staff make the most of a short course played numerous times and always found challenging enough to keep attention even on second time round to play 18. Inexpensive to play and if teaching your nipper to hit a ball no pressure. Only issue is if you are reasonable player playing as pair you catch others quickly and they seldom let you play through can be frustrating.

Not exactly a pristine course, but a great little golf course for beginners. No pressure environment. Friendly staff

My daughters have been going here for a few lessons now and will continue to do so. Ponies are lovely, staff is lovely, and I feel for a beginner this is a lovely, relaxed and friendly place to learn to ride. Instructors are encouraging and there are not too many children on lessons, meaning my children get a lot out of each lesson, feel happy and relaxed, and look forward to going back! Even my husband has had a go at riding now, encouraged by the relaxed atmosphere of the stables. I am an experienced rider myself and have lessons here too. It depends what you are looking for... if you are looking for a relaxed, friendly school in beautiful surroundings, then I would highly recommend Dudmoor Farm. The only exception is, if you are looking for more advanced riding instruction and are an advanced rider, I donât think most of the horses use to being worked at that level. But again it depends on what you are looking for, and we have certainly been more than happy with it.

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.
