Golf courses in Dorset

Dorset offers exceptional golf, from world-class heathland to dramatic clifftop courses overlooking the UNESCO-listed Jurassic Coast. Parkstone and Ferndown rank among England's finest heathland courses, their sandy soil and heather-lined fairways providing outstanding year-round playing conditions.

Isle of Purbeck Golf Club at Studland offers clifftop golf with views across to Old Harry Rocks and the chalk stacks of the Jurassic Coast. The unique terrain and sea views make this one of England's most scenic courses.

Dorset's heathland courses benefit from sandy, free-draining soil that keeps them playable even after heavy rain - a significant advantage over clay-based parkland. The county enjoys a mild southern climate, with golf comfortable year-round. The combination of serious heathland golf and the natural beauty of the Jurassic Coast makes Dorset an appealing destination for golfers seeking quality and scenery in equal measure.
