PlayGolf Bournemouth Golf Club

Formerly Iford Golf Centre, PlayGolf Bournemouth offers 27 holes of golf, with the 6,313-yard Bridge Course the main attraction. The par-72 meadowland layout offers a good mix of long and short holes, with a selection hugging the picturesque River Stour. The front none is fairly straight forward, with flat and wide fairways allowing you to really attack the course. However, don’t be lulled into a false sense of security, as the back nine is a lot more challenging. It has short, tight fairways and a lot of water waiting to catch wandering balls.

The club also has a par-3 layout called ‘The Stour’, which is ideal for those looking to fine-tune their short game or introduce a friend to the sport.

The course markings are excellent and the tees and greens are generally in good condition for a course that costs less than £20-a-round.
