Lakeland, Parkland and Woodland Courses
Rated in the top 150 English Golf Courses, our Lakeland, Parkland and Woodland course were built by prolific course designer Martin Hawtree, who is considered to be one of the best course designers in the world today.
Hawtree is renowned for his tricky clover shaped bunkers, large and undulating greens which is what you will find here at The Dorset Golf & Country Club. The Lakeland and Parkland are the longest of the three courses with lakes coming into play on over half the holes.
The Woodland course is a little shorter and carved through a rhododendron forest. This unique course offers a tough positional challenge and looks stunning in May & June with wall to wall flowers lining the fairways every hole.
The courses are all renowned for playing differently in the summer and winter. In the winter the courses play very American with almost target golf conditions.
In the summer the courses dry out and they play very much like links golf. Hawtree purposely designed the greens to have run ins and run off so that the summer requires a different tact and approach to play successfully.
