Courses: Wolfedale – Came Down – Weymouth – The Dorset – Bulbury Woods – Wareham

Opened in 1998, Wolfedale golf course (home of Charminster Golf Club) was and is a much needed basic 18 hole course situated just two miles north of Dorchester. On a chalky based subsoil, it never gets overwet even in the wettest winters, and can truly be an all year course.

Came Down Golf Club was founded in 1896, and shows off an excellent challenge, suitable for golfers at all levels. The course sits on chalk downland and offers fantastic views to locations such as Weymouth, Portland, Dorchester, Isle of Wight and Maiden Castle.

Founded in 1909 Weymouth Golf Club is a James Braid designed course and epitomises his early philosophy around shot strategies and includes many of his subtle doglegs. A feature of this beautiful course, bound to strike the golfing visitor, is its situation. Set in the centre of Weymouth yet enjoying magnificent views of the Dorset countryside and Jurassic Coast.

Rated in the TOP 150 English Courses, the Lakeland, Parkland and Woodland at “The Dorset” were designed by the prolific course designer Martin Hawtree. Hawtree has received international acclaim for his excellent work re-designing Royal Birkdale for the British Open and his more recent design of the 5 Star Trump International Links in Aberdeen

Measuring 6002 yards, Bulbury Woods’ par 71 tree lined course offers a great test of golf where accuracy off the tee is a must. The course has stunning views across the Purbecks and is renowned for the quality of its greens.

Wareham Golf Club in Dorset is an established eighteen hole golf course in the Isle of Purbeck in the heart of Dorset. On the edge of Wareham Forest, the golf club provides a tranquil setting with picturesque views over the Purbeck Hills, Poole Harbour and over to Corfe Castle.
