The Club At Meyrick Park

Meyrick Park is a classic parkland course right in the heart of Bournemouth. Established in 1894, it's a proper tree-lined test that looks friendly on the card, then bites back if you get loose from the tee. The fairways roll with the natural undulations of the land, so you'll rarely have a dead-flat lie and you'll need to think your way round rather than just hitting driver everywhere.

What really sets Meyrick Park apart is the location. You're only five minutes from Bournemouth town centre, so you can play a serious round, then swap spikes for the beach, the restaurants and a lively night out without a long taxi ride back to a remote resort. The on-site resort facilities arrived in 2000, adding a 17-room Lodge, a well-equipped health club and two bars, which makes it a handy base for a weekend golf break or a society trip that wants golf by day and options by night.

If you want a Bournemouth base with genuine convenience, a course with history and enough bite to keep everyone honest, Meyrick Park ticks a lot of boxes.

Who is this for? Groups who want a sociable Bournemouth weekend, with golf in the day and beaches, bars and restaurants close by.

Who is it best for? Golfers who enjoy strategic parkland, especially mid-handicappers and better players who don't mind being punished for a wayward tee shot.

Meyrick Park Golf Club

Don't be fooled by the yardage. At 5,689 yards and playing to a par 69, Meyrick Park can look gettable, but it's the trees that do the talking. Tom Dunn's layout is framed by mature woodland, with thick rough and trouble waiting for anything that peels off line. Accuracy and discipline beat brute force here.

The opening hole sets the tone immediately, a demanding par 3 to a small green sitting 244 yards out. It's the sort of start that tells you to get loose on the range first, or at least make a committed swing. From there, you'll find rolling fairways and plenty of subtle movement underfoot, so controlling flight and distance is a big part of scoring well.

On the way home, the par-5 14th is a standout, a genuine risk-reward hole where you can chase a birdie if you're in position, or rack up a number if you get greedy. The best rounds here tend to come from playing the right side of the fairway, taking your medicine when you need to, then cashing in when the hole gives you a look.

It's no surprise it's a firm favourite on Bournemouth golf tours. Fancy it? Include Meyrick Park on your next Bournemouth golf break.

Accommodation at The Club At Meyrick Park

The Lodge at Meyrick Park sits right on the course and keeps things simple in a good way. There are 17 en-suite twin rooms, finished to a solid standard, with golf course views that make it feel like a golfers' base rather than a big, anonymous hotel. You're also only around a 10-minute walk from Bournemouth's shops and beaches, so non-golf time is easy to fill without planning military logistics.

Stays are typically bed and breakfast, which works well here. You can eat on-site when you want an easy option, then head into town on the other nights to pick from Bournemouth's broad mix of restaurants, from seafood to international spots. For groups, that flexibility is a big win, especially if you've got different budgets or tastes in the party.

Off the course, the health club is a strong extra, particularly for wet-weather mornings or a loosen-up session before you tee off. You've got modern gym kit, plus spa facilities that make a noticeable difference after 18 holes on an undulating parkland track. The indoor pool is 19 metres long, one of the bigger ones in Bournemouth by local standards, with a sauna and steam room alongside. The Temple beauty area offers treatments if you want to properly switch off after your round.

There are also two on-site bars, ideal for a post-round pint and a quick debrief of the damage before heading into Bournemouth, or simply calling it a night without going anywhere. The combination of course-side location, practical facilities and proximity to the town makes it a versatile option for those who want both golf and a bit of life off the course.
