Golf Courses at Ferndown Golf Club

Championship Course

The Championship Course was founded in 1921, when the inaugurating fixture included the legendary Harry Vardon. The course however was conceived in theory by three-time Open Champion Harold Hilton in 1912, but in the intervening period there were insufficient funds for maintenance. Measuring 6,452 yards at its fullest, Ferndown's Championship was included in the 2002 publication of Golf Monthly's top 100 British courses, and the heathland track is now a staple in a good Bournemouth golf tour.

Presidents Course

The nine-hole Presidents Course has two distinct sets of tees, allowing it to be played as an 18-hole par 71. It adds welcome variety during a visit to Ferndown, and is a relatively easy walk, ideal for learners or those who just fancy a pleasant and sociable round.

Ferndown's first Captain was Assistant Purser of the ill-fated Titanic when it sank in 1912.

Tips for visiting Ferndown Golf Club

I haven't played on greens this good all year. They were firm, fast but receptive. Would definitely play here again.

A few tips for the course... On the 9th hole, the dogleg to the left opens up to a wide fairway but the tee shot doesn't look that way. Aim over the tree on the left hand side of the fairway and you will be perfect position.

Holes 6 and 18 play uphill, so make sure you take at least 1 club more to get it to the green!

And finally 16th green is a bowl shape, everything will feed to the middle of the green so do not go flag hunting on this hole, try and make a birdie from a longer putt.

Trying not to let a very slow round spoil my overall enjoyment Not the fault of the course just poor etiquette from slow players. Staff were lovely and could not be more helpful. A quick tour of the facilities by the head pro followed by charming waiting staff. The two gentlemen starters were a joy and the AGM Sue Helliker is one of the nicest people I have met on a golf course. I will return.
