i'm back online

Hi again.

I'm moving to West Moors next month and Ferndown Forest is obviously the closet place. What's it like?

Can't justify Ferndown GC, but was thinking about Canford Magna as a possibility.

Thats cool. I live in west moors!

Ferndown forest is ok but it is a short course only measuring 5000 yards off the medal tees and the greens are rubbish.

Canford Magnas a good course as far as i know but i'm told it gets very busy at weekends and to expect 5 hour rounds. Canfordhacker plays there so maybe he could give you more details.

Crane valley is a good course but young and needs to mature. It will be a much better course when it does.

Dudsbury is a cracking course but is closed half the winter and for £950 i think a bit to expensive for the amount of winter that it is closed. They also do £15 twilight from 4 in the summer which is a bargain considering it is a normal green fee of £50. I plan to play twilight there a few times in the summer.

I'm joining Moors Valley in the near future. It is a cracking course. They are also building a new 9 hole course and clubhouse which they are starting later this year. plus they have waived the £250 joining fee this year so is a good time to join. I played it today for £13 twilight fee.

If you want to come along and try a couple of the courses out let me know. If i am available i'll be happy to come out with you.
 
Hapless - As Tim says, I'm at Canford Magna. It's got a lot of really good points, but some drawbacks. PM me if you want details or to join us one Saturday morning for a round to check it out. It's a way from West Moors though...
