I'm pretty much in agreement with the rating of others above - Broadstone is something special once it gets away from the clubhouse onto higher ground. Parkstone is a fine course with lots of good architecture and a club president who oversaw the removal of many trees, opening up splendid views onto Poole Harbour, and the restoration of heathland characteristics. Ferndown is now too short for you people, but just right for me. The views at Isle of Purbeck are magnificent, and two or three holes, such as the 5th, are terrific, but there's some fairly dull stuff, too, which perhaps suggests that not all of Colt's work is intact. The 6th, by the way, is the most punishing uphill par 5 I can think of, with the narrowest of curling fairways running between tall banks of the deepest gorse - horrid!
Anyone been to Sherborne? I remember it with affection from my youth, a visit inspired by an article written by Donald Steel who singled it out for praise.
