Behind the High Street of this small Dorset village is a lovely friendly 9 hole golf course locally…read moreknown as 'The Little Gem'. There is a mixture of par 3 and par 4 holes with enough interesting hazards,including a lake,to keep the average golfer on his/her toes. There are Children's and Ladies' Academies for those who want formal lessons with Mike, the resident Kiwi pro and a driving range which is free but you have to collect your own balls. The club house is small but has changing rooms with showers, a small shop,a bar and a kitchen which serves basic snacks all at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious and Thomas Hardy would feel at home with the accents of the elderly gents eating a late breakfast after a congenial 9 holes. It's open to the public and reasonably priced at £10 for 9 holes and £15 for 18.

Nothing better than a stroll in the park, walk the dog or just chill out!…read moreI live 2 minutes walk away, I go there to feed the ducks and watch the paddle boats...get me in one!..i think not!!!. There is live music there and festivals, the ice cream and drinks are very over priced which is a shame. It has a mini Ice rink and a play park for the kids. What more do you want for free......

A wonderful place to reflect and slow down the pace of life for a while! A walk around the lake…read moretakes around 15-20 minutes and is a nice journey to break away from the stresses of modern life. On a nice day wou will see people operating their radio-controlled boats at the far side of the lake (full grown men playing with their toys!) whilst on the side nearest to the main entrance you will see ducks, Canada Geese and other birds hoping to be fed my the many passers by! At sunset, the colours on the lake are quite stunning. A really beautiful place to unwind - if the walk takes it out of you, head for the cafe for a recharging cup of tea! There is also a mini-golf section if you've got any energy left!

These guys claim to 'make golf easier'. I'm not sure exactly how they do it, but well, I surprised…read moremyself with a superb 260yd drive from the tee! It's a course plus driving range and bar/shop - turn up and play, not stuffy at all. We paid a tenner for 150 balls and had nice 40 mins smacking them all over the place. Everything is automatic, you don't even need to bend down - the ball goes onto the automatic tee for you. No idea if this is normal, but it's a nice plus!

I last played here many years ago when it was a 9 hole Iford course. Wow, what a change. The layout…read moreis good and the condition of the greens excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful and in all there is a pleasant atmosphere. We played today as our own course was closed for a charity function. We made a good choice and will come again.
