What an amazing paintball experience. I took my sons as a birthday present. We had great fun and the team were so friendly and made it so exciting, whilst making safety an absolute paramount. Nestled in the woods in Dorchester on the A35 easy to get to and find. Being in the woods i think made it all the more fun. I highly recommend you go there.

Sturminster Marshall Golf Club

Reviewed By marinerone23 - Poole, United Kingdom

On my initial visit the clubhouse staff were really friendly and the food lovely. I used the driving range which was very reasonable at £2.50 for 30 balls as a minimum where there are six under cover and six in the open. The Pro was very helpful and I will certainty be going again, for a game next time. The course seems to be well looked after so I’m looking forward to an enjoyable game.

Dreamboats is a charity founded in the year 2000 by Pat Hymers and her vision was to see People enjoying the lovely river stour again. In the 60s and 70s people used to come from miles around to enjoy the river but when the boat yard was used for development the foot traffic fell. But now it starting to become people’s favourite place again to come and hire a boats or kayaks or to bring the children to the park with a picnic. So why not come down and enjoy it with us. Are hire prices are as follows: Kayak & Canoe Hire: £12 P/H, Rowing boats: £15 p/h Electric motor boat: £18 p/h

Remedy Oak Golf Course

Reviewed By steverB4039HN - Camberley, United Kingdom

Played Remedy Oak after hearing many good reviews and they are well earned Having played Broadstone, Ferndown, Isle of Purbeck and Parkstone previously Remedy Oak is different class in regards to ambience, welcome and service than the other more established clubs mentioned, from the moment you access the private estate at the intercom on the gates you are welcomed and treated like a member for the day. We arrived to be told that th e greens had not recovered' as they would expect' from recent maintenance and as such received a £30 discount on the price - why dont all exclusive clubs do this! We received free ball marker, course guides and range balls and the service and food was excellent prior to the round The course was in fabulous condition ( the greens had only minor hollwtine scarring and ran flat and true) and I cannot recall a weak or unenjoyable hole on the whole 18, truly a pleasure to play and challenging due to the numerous water and other hazards. There are some walks between greens tees but this is not problematic and adds to the general feeling of playing individually designed holes which have been carefully and thoughtfully designed. I played poorly but had a great day in every way and would strongly recommend it to anyone thinking of playing in Dorset. I mean no offence to the other great courses mentioned in my initial paragraph which are also fantastic, but if you want exclusive golf in a great setting, with great service go to Remedy Oak. One of the best inland courses I have played in England.
