Golf Courses at The Dorset Golf & Country Club Resort

The different combinations offer welcome variety, while the undeniable quality of the golf course has resulted in the Dorset being selected to host countless professional tournaments including the South-West PGA Championship and a MasterCard Tour event. The toughest combination measures over 7,000 yards from the tips and ranks in the top 150 courses in the UK, but there are tees to suit golfers of all standards.

The Lakeland & Parkland Courses

These loops are considered to be the Dorset's championship layout, and are characterised by beautifully shaped greens that will demand maximum attention. The fairways and putting surfaces are protected by strategically positioned bunkers, while golfers must negotiate the network of lakes and streams that traverse the landscape.
