Dorset is blessed with some wonderful golf courses, many are easily accessible from The Casterbridge. The nearest, Wolfdale, two miles away at Charminster, offers wide fairways and some challenging hills to whack the ball up. Lovely views over Dorchester and the surrounding countryside add to the experience. A handicap is not required.

Three miles in the other direction is Came Down — the course upon which the first Ryder Cup was planned. From the first tee you can see Weymouth, Dorchester, glorious countryside and the sea; which may make searching for a lost ball a little less arduous.

On the coast in Weymouth is a fabulous seaside course; although not a links course, it provides a good 7,000 yards of golf for all levels.

Within twenty miles are Bulbury Wood, a tight and tricky course with views over Poole Harbour and the magnificently positioned Isle of Purbeck courses offering fabulous and exciting golf for all levels of player.

There are more courses listed and all of them make visitors welcome usually requiring you to book a tee time, which our reception can help you with.
