A must play if in Dorset Played in their Senior Open in early August 2021 and we were blessed with light winds and 23° temp. Very undulating track with some stunning golf holes. The 5th will live long in the memory with spectacular views across The Solent with The Needles clearly in view. Fairways were patchy as sadly they have had leatherjackets visiting.

The pilgrimage out to the ancient castle will test the proficient and, while the return journey home is possibly kinder, the final hole is a potential card breaker should one be tempted by th...
