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.

The food was brilliant, good selection. We stayed in a lodge, which was very nice to have your own space. Only down side is that golf buggies can not be taken to lodges. Meaning you have to either walk your clubs to clubhouse or use car each day to transport clubs. Some sort of club store would be good.

We stayed in the bungalow lodge away from the hotel which was amazing - lots of room and everything you could need.

The staff at the hotel very over officious. I found them to be at times rude, but this was only the staff in the clubhouse, the guys in the pro shop and the starter extremely helpful. The room was extremely hot and stuffy although they did provide a fan it was insufficient. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so venturing out for evening drinks or entertainment was off the cards due to the cost and duration of travel.

The self catering wood lodges were ideal for a large group as they had plenty of communal space for everyone to get together after the days golf. They were well equipped, in really good condition and the beds were comfortable. The meals served in the restaurant were excellent, not fine dining but good quality and substantial, just what's needed after a day out on the course, we certainly didn't go hungry!
