Like the other reviewers here, I too love Bembridge. Not really a course for a deadly serious golfer, it is perfect for the beginner. Three of us went there recently to find it lush and green despite the drought. Although it has the undulations, bunkers and water hazards, it is a fairly flat course and physically undemanding.

The course gets off to a nice easy start with a 103 metre Par 3; a smooth wedge shot will have you in the middle of the green.

The cafe and shop facilities are some of the best I’ve seen on a public course, and the people are friendly. All in all, very satisfactory.

PROS

• Lush, undemanding, friendly, affordable.

Cons

• Serious golfers will not find a challenge here.

I love Bembridge. It’s a short course which is great if you want to have a quick round before or after work. It is a fantastic course for learners as it’s not too long but is still a little challenging if you’re new at the game.

For the more experienced golfer, it’s great to be able to go around and shoot a low score. Don’t be fooled though as there are a few challenging holes.

The staff are great too. Very friendly, as are the regulars. Drop into the clubhouse for a coffee after the game. You will be involved in a conversation with a local within minutes. And the coffee is good.

well the locals call this course The Royal Bembridge Golf Course it has a very short 1st hole and is a very short course overall but for a person who wants to have a hit with little if any trouble and not much time up there sleeve it is ideal

Bembridge Golf Course is a privately owned 9 hole golf course which offers golfers of all levels the opportunity to play golf.The course has five par 4's and four par 3's and is a par 32. The course has only been opened a little over 10 years and has flourished into a local icon. Steve and Rhonda Chalmers decided one day to build a golf course after being in the market gardens industry for years.

Starting from scratch, with the help of friends, they carved a beautiful 9 hole golf course which winds its way around the property. The course is always kept in perfect condition by Steve Chalmers and his trusty staff.

The course opens with an unassuming short par 3 which looks easy enough, the green is wide but not very long so it offers a challenge. The second, third and fourth are all short par 4's which require accuracy off the tee with out of bounds on the right handside of all of them. The 5th is a pretty, 140m par 3 over water to a sloped green which is a challenge to hit.

The sixth is a short par 4 which requires accuracy off the tee and touch to hit the green. The green slopes away from the player and is a real challenge to hit. The 7th is a 150m uphill par three to a blind green. The 8th is a straight away par 4 which you don't want to overshoot the green with your second... Out of Bounds lurks. The finishing hole is a beautiful 150m par 3 over water and is quite difficult to hit and hold the green. What this course lacks in length makes up for in character. There is only one bunker on the course but there are many other obstacles to catch the errant shots.
