The Golf Courses Are you up to the challenge of our Championship 27 holes of Golf?

The Dorset Golf & Country Club hosts 27 holes of the most challenging golf in Dorset and is recognized as one of the golfing gems of the South of England.

The Martin Hawtree designed; Lakeland/Parkland and Woodland courses are built to full USGA specification and are extremely well maintained, presenting excellent playing conditions for all levels of golfers.

The Championship Lakeland 9 and the Parkland 9 Courses, Par 72, provides a great golfing experience with beautifully sculptured greens, surrounded by cleverly placed bunkers. The course also boasts some of the most picturesque lakes and waterways you could find on any course.

The Woodland Course, Par 33, offers a contrasting challenge to our main course with tight tree lined fairways, which have been carved through a forest of rhododendrons, a fantastic course to play.

Any combination of the Lakeland, Parkland and Woodland can be combined to create an exciting and different 18 holes each time you play.

We have a floodlit driving range consisting of 16 bays, all under cover, with the best quality range mats and possibly the most unique targeting area to aim at enabling all year round practice that along with a large putting green, practice bunker and chipping area.

Custom Fitting Here at the Dorset Golf & Country Club, we offer a custom fitting service that allows all golfers to enjoy golf equipment which has been specifically adapted to their individual needs.

overcome repetitive swing faults. Improvers and beginners need well fitted equipment to encourage the correct address position, which will allow them to develop a consistent and reliable technique.

Custom fitting can be used to achieve many different aims, such as:

Our experienced and well trained team of PGA Professionals are able to make exacting assessments of your needs. They will consider your physical dimensions during the ‘static fit’ as well as your technique, the ‘dynamic fit’. A hitting session is the only reliable way to produce accurate and correct results.

• Adapting the club/s to allow for a players physical dimensions (taller/shorter/large hands etc)

• Reducing the destructiveness of a consistent swing fault, without physically altering the golfer’s technique

• To encourage the correct technique i.e. the player would no longer have to compensate for a component of the club/s that does not fit them correctly

• To eliminate a specific shot e.g. hook, slice etc

By making simple adjustments to the specifications of a ‘standard’ set of clubs, the golfer who has been custom fitted would find it far easier to return the club, to the ball, in a square position at impact.

Custom fitting will also benefit every golfer, at all levels. At its more technical level, custom fitting can build low handicap golfers and professionals a more efficient swing by refining ball spin and trajectory, to compliment their already proficient technique. Higher handicap players can use adjustments in lie angles and shafts to

A custom fitting session here at the Dorset Golf & Country Club will last between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on the nature of the fitting session.

One of the best things about the custom fitting service we offer is it’s free! Whenever you purchase a driver, a set of irons, a wedge or putter from us, your custom fit won’t cost you a penny. Whether you are looking to buy a brand new set or simply looking to see if you could tweak any of your existing clubs, please feel free to make any enquiries with the Golf Shop, who will be more than happy to offer any advice they can.

So unless your clubs have been professionally fitted, they could be responsible for the less than desirable parts of your game.

5 dorset resort village - gold award H

Would you like to rent a beautiful holiday house in Dorset?

Enjoy a holiday of a lifetime?

Stay near stunning coastline, on a Championship Golf Course?

The Dorset Resort Village was created for those who will appreciate the outstanding natural beauty of rolling heathlands and the majesty afforded by 70 acres of unspoilt woodland that The Resort Village is set amongst.

The stunning detached Scandinavian designed log homes stand naturally within the woodland setting, offering accommodation of complete quality for you and your family.

The homes combine simplicity with luxury, the natural oiled pine floors, walls and ceilings create a remarkably relaxed living space and all the furniture and fittings are of very high quality. People will be able to stay at the Resort for periods of 2 days to 4 weeks in these wonderful homes, enabling them to spend quality time in this picturesque area of Dorset.

All the houses are set in a quiet woodland glade surrounded by stunning fir trees and wonderful wildlife, birds, butterflies and animals abound in this woodland setting.

The fairy tale Scandinavian-style houses at the Dorset Resort are very different types of buildings not often seen in the English Countryside. Made entirely from trees grown in the Nordic forests of Finland, these houses create a unique healthy living environment because the wood “breathes� whilst at the same time being a better insulator than brick.

The remainder of the ground floor is allocated to two bedrooms both en-suite with the master bedroom having its own private balcony, double bed and bath.
