This course has come a long way over the past few years. If you haven’t played there in a while, it’s well worth a visit. Most of the fairways are now couch and the drainage is much better than it used to be so it’s a lot better in winter now.
Still a fairly easy course, but apart from the new irrigation works the course is in great condition.
Not sure about the comment about easy to read greens, as particularly on weekends there are very few straight putts.

Good golf course to have locally, very short at 5099m, drainage problems- wet spots all around the course, nice lakes through out the golf course not bad for a lazy afternoon or just the beginner, i learned to play on this gold course, as well as Chirnside Park (very good golf course, but is very hilly and if not looking for a work out don’t go here)

I played Dorset on the weekend and found the course maintenance very average. I found through my game of 18 there was as much dirt and hard rock on the fareways as grass. The course layout is rather easy and generally straight to the pins. Alot of the greens have grafiti on them which must be due to the lack of security around the grouns. for public golfing standards it was a big time dissapointment.

Not a bad little track for a lazy 18 if you are in the area. It is a good course for a hit but it is not too challenging. There are better tracks around and I would not travel too far to play here.
Having said that, the greens on this course are always in great shape for a public course. This is a great little course for learners/social to get out and have a hit. Although it can get a little slow, it normally speeds up as the round progresses. I don't know why, it just does. Maybe it is because you don't strike a Par 3 until the 5th hole.
The course is generally OK for most of the year but be warned - do not play this course in the wet. There are some real drainage issues which are exacerbated by the fact that the back nine has been built over an old rubbish tip. When it gets really wet, the ground gets muddy/slimy and starts to stink.
The course/club seems to be a "feeder" for golfers to progress through to the two private clubs in close proximity being Eastwood and Croydon.

This is really my local course, though I try to get on at Croydon or Eastwood whenever I can (both very good tracks). This a fairly typical suburban public course - very short, at 5200m, severe drainage problems, and water supply problems. Nothing really special about this course - greens are always in pretty good nick, though.
Good to brush up on your game, or for a gentle round on a friday afternoon - for a reasonable test of golf, try elsewhere.

AVOID. The back nine was closed today with the front nine being like a construction set, adding new drainage and watering system. Fairways very patchy with the greens being OK
