The Valley Course is the star attraction at Crane Valley, a stunning par 72 layout devised by Donald Steel in 1992, the architect responsible for some of the modern era's best new courses.
The charming Dorset countryside sets the stage for Steel's lovely course, which is a good test for players of all abilities. 6,424 yards is relatively short for a modern parkland course, but this ensures that Crane Valley is both manageable and enjoyable for everyone.
Crane Valley also sports an entertaining little nine-hole course, the Woodland, which is perfect for beginners. This Dorset hidden gem is an interesting new addition to the golfing scene around Bournemouth, and is a great choice for a stop on a Bournemouth golf tour.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this one. Great layout with well positioned traps to make you think about your tee shot. Greens were great! 4 and a half hour round unfortunately which is still a bit longer then you would expect on a Saturday morning tee time but didn’t effect much as the course was in great condition

Greens were a little slow. Rough in places where a little to rough. Struggling to find balls that just ram off the fairway

Amazing course, practice facilities were spot on right from the off very good areas covering all aspects of your game, the 18 hole course was the best we played all weekend superb conditions and layout, there’s even a 9 hole course that looked really good but we didn’t have enough time to play it, definitely going back

A lovely course that all of our group would like to play again. Facilities marked so low because on leaving the golf course we were advised that the only food available would-be chips due to a small wedding taking place. Additionally, as there was only one person serving in the bar, half of our group left without even having a drink. Unacceptable.

Large society out in front of us and only played 7 holes in 2 hours 10 minutes so walked in. Greens were good but a bit messy in places. I’m sure the rest of the course would have been good but 18 seniors out in front of you is too slow

This was included in the package so I do know what we paid as a green fee and therefore cannot comment on value. But as a good average course for what I imagine was a bit less money it stacks up. Greens were struggling (as they had had Fusarium). Nice staff.

Fantastic condition and not too busy - got a good pace going. Very friendly and well kept facilities. Only gripe would be the course is a little too repetitive with little in the way of signature holes or views. Good course to finish our little tour as it was quite forgiving for the high handicappers.
