Dorset
The Dorset County Golf Union was founded in 1923 and there are now 34 member clubs affiliated to the Union. Dorset is therefore one of the smaller golfing counties in England, but despite the relatively modest number of county golf courses, the quality in Hardy Country is remarkably high.
Broadstone Golf Club
Dorset, United Kingdom
Broadstone Golf Club
Broadstone Golf Club is laid out on glorious rolling terrain. The elevated homeward nine provides panoramic views of the Purbeck Hills and Poole Harbour.
Parkstone Golf Club
Dorset, United Kingdom
Parkstone Golf Club
We’ve classified Parkstone Golf Club as a seaside heathland course. It’s not a traditional links and neither is it very far inland.
Ferndown Golf Club (Old)
Dorset, United Kingdom
Ferndown Golf Club (Old)
Ferndown Golf Club plays across a sandy outcrop of land where there is a proliferation of heather and pines... it’s an inherently pretty golf course.
Remedy Oak Golf Club
Dorset, United Kingdom
Remedy Oak Golf Club
Remedy Oak Golf Club opened for play in November 2005 and former Englishman and Ryder Cup Captain John Jacobs designed the golf course, which is set in more than 250 acres of ancient woodland...
Isle of Purbeck Golf Club (Purbeck)
Dorset, United Kingdom
Isle of Purbeck Golf Club (Purbeck)
The vistas from the Isle of Purbeck are breathtaking, for the golf club is positioned on a high heathland plateau and the 360-degree panorama continually interrupts one’s concentration.
Yeovil (Old)
Dorset, United Kingdom
Yeovil (Old)
The Old course at Yeovil Golf Club is certainly different. C.H. Alison originally fashioned nine holes on Babylon Hill and Charles Carter (the club pro) laid out a further nine when new land became available later.
Knighton Heath
Dorset, United Kingdom
Knighton Heath
Knighton Heath Golf Club is perched on high ground with pine-flanked fairways. This compact 6,065-yard, undulating heathland course has numerous doglegs and plenty of heather.
Dorset (Lakeland & Parkland)
Dorset, United Kingdom
Dorset (Lakeland & Parkland)
With three 9-hole loops designed by Martin Hawtree, the Dorset Golf & Country Club is one of the county’s premier facilities. The Lakeland & Parkland nines make up the championship course, but the shorter Woodland loop is enjoyable too.
