Playgolf Bournemouth (Iford) is extremely boring and flat, not bad condition but far from interesting. Queens park is much worse, dog walkers everywhere!

Queens Park is spoiled by all the dog walkers but the actual course layout is pretty good, some really challenging holes. Suffers due to lack of investment though.

Agree, its clear that it used to be a quality course, like you say a nice layout. But seeing kids playing in bunkers & dogs picking up balls ruins it

Yeah. There's nothing worse than noticing one out of the corner of your eye as you're preparing to tee off, then knowing that they have ducked behind a bush / tree halfway down the fairway. Lo and behold, one's tee shot ends up being rubbish!

They have messed around with the order of the holes, and also shortened a lot of them due to local residents complaining about balls going in the road/their garden.

I agree if it had the money spent on it and took it back to its former glory, it would be one of Dorsets best courses, behind Ferndown (I may be biased there)
 
Never really played a bad one, but have not played that many.

Was a member at Wensum Valley for a year, that is probably the worst I have played, not the course layout just the state of the course in general. I do think there is an element of you get what you pay for though, the venue had two courses one holds the 888 poker tour and you pay around £550 a year. So to be fair it is very hard to criticize when your membership is around £250-£400 less that other courses in the area
 
Its already been said a couple of times, but I don't know of a bad course.

There are some I haven't enjoyed either because of the conditions on that day, or that I played poorly, I can remember a couple that were badly laid out (tees, greens too close together) but I don't know of any that I wouldn't play again though.

In the UK:
Woburn - Marquess
Woodhall Spa - Hotchkin

Scotscraig

Not played Chart Hills or Woburn, so can't comment. But the other 3 would certainly be up the top of any list of courses I've played. With the Hotchkin still my Favorite course I've ever played.

I'll throw in Pitlochry - lots of people love it - I absolutely hated it, despite playing OK there.

Only just seen this!!
You can't be serious. If I ever ventured "North of the Border" again, Pitlochry would certainly be on the itinerary.
Fabulous course, if, as Murph says, a little bit "quirky".
Fantastic views, always in superb condition when we played there, and a real treat.
