Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I play golf in Dorset?

We've explored Dorset extensively, and here's the honest truth: you won't find any golf courses within its official boundaries. It's a stunning county, but its charm lies in its dramatic coastline and rolling hills, not its fairways. If golf is your priority, you'll need to look just beyond its borders.

Is Dorset a good destination for a golf trip?

Frankly, no, Dorset isn't a golf destination in itself. We love Dorset for its Jurassic Coast and charming villages, but if you're packing your clubs, you'll be disappointed. Consider it a fantastic base for other activities, but not for hitting the links.

What's the best time to visit Dorset if I want to combine a trip with golf?

Since there are no golf courses in Dorset, there isn't a "best time" to visit for golf specifically. However, if you're planning a trip to the region and want to combine coastal walks with a round nearby, late spring or early autumn offers pleasant weather and fewer crowds. You'll enjoy the scenery without the summer rush.

Are there any hidden gem golf courses in Dorset we should know about?

We've scoured every corner, and we can confirm there are no hidden gem golf courses in Dorset-or any courses at all, for that matter. While we often uncover overlooked tracks, Dorset simply doesn't have any golf to offer. Your best bet for a unique round will be in neighboring counties.

What golf courses are near Dorset if I'm staying there?

If you're set on staying in beautiful Dorset but want to play golf, you'll need to venture out. We recommend looking to neighboring counties like Hampshire or Wiltshire, which offer some excellent courses within a reasonable drive. Plan for a day trip to get your golf fix.
