The Best Golf Courses in South Perrott, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

One of the top 100 golf courses in GB. Harry Colt design, very beautiful throughout, but very unforgiving. If you in doubt, then think twice before you hit……

The course was in magnificent condition. Food in the bar was really nice (avo toast particularly!). All staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Would play again.

Played this lovely course, in lovely condition, with lovely people, on a lovely day !!! Thank you.

Friendly relaxed golf club and great for kids to learn.

Mike Dodd and all the junior coaches are fantastic. So welcoming and friendly. My son really enjoys going. They have a workbook with targets to aim for. It helps with focus and strives them to always move forward. It's a beautiful 9-hole course tucked away in Sturminster Marshall. It's definitely worth a visit for a coffee in the club house and chat with Mike.

What a little gem of a golf course! We visited on a lovely day and I had a lesson with Charlie, who was an excellent teacher, and made me feel at ease. The course has a family atmosphere to it, not intimidating like other places. The little cafe has a beautiful setting and a nice selection of dishes. Shame you're an hour away from is, hopefully we can visit soon!

Tricky little golf course, plays 18, designed around a 9 hole. No par 5's but lots of par 4's (and long ones). T Boxes were difficult to get T pegs into the ground. Lovely and flat course. Such a pretty course to play. Very enjoyable. This was the first time in 20 years of my golfing experiences (and I have played many courses)...that I have ever seen steps into a bunker !! Luckily I didn't have to use them 🙃

Friendly staff, great food, fab views. Return visit today...cajun chicken wrap was absolutely delicious.

Enjoyed it, nice varied course and lovely clubhouse. Will update this soon - playing here again next Friday 🏌️‍♂️⛳ - today wasn't a particularly good at to visit, soggy and breezy, when the weather improves it'll be great again. Unfortunately today, to paraphrase Lemony Snickett, 'just a series of random golf holes' not the courses fault. Wonderfully friendly staff and great food.

Lovely location, great food and the staff are wonderful, all together a very pleasant time spent there.

Weird experience of playing same greens twice (but from different tees), but at least you know what to expect 2nd time around! Surprised to find the fairways and greens played well despite all the rain we've had, so kudos to ground staff. Clubhouse and staff are very welcoming and food is very good. Changing facilities are also good (much improved recently).

Had a great winter round of golf at Folke Golf Course today. Even though its been raining a lot it was pretty good under foot. Course was in great condition, greens smooth, even and true. Fairways generous, course challenging enough to make for a good round. Staff are really nice and very welcoming.

Lovely golf club. My father, brother and I used to play here a lot 15-20-odd years ago when we lived nearby. We played here again today for old-time-sake and the place still has that lovely local friendly atmosphere / owner. Great course for the money, greens were good for the time of year. Really well-priced clubhouse restaurant; good quality sandwiches at a great price! Was nice to play here again.

Superb course and really worth a visit. Staff all very helpful and friendly.

Played today on their Christmas Golf Special, what a great deal!!! Staff are brilliant, very welcoming and helpful. Course in unbelievable condition after all the storms we have had. Thank you Dorset Golf & Country Club, look forward to returning soon.

We stayed in a lodge which was spacious and well equipped. Just a short walk to the restaurant and facilities at the clubhouse. Indoor short mat bowls,and what looked like a good golf course although we didn't use it

Just returned from a one night and two round stay. We had an enjoyable time and the golf course was in superb condition. All three 9’s were a challenge in their own way. All staff were very helpful and the bar staff in particular kept the bar open late in the evening for us, thanks for that. Only negative was the Halfway House was shut both days and during peak times when a lot of golfers wanted a mid round snack.

Love love this place good live music, stunning views, friendly staff, tickets really good price as you often get a tribute act dinner and a dessert for £20. The food is nice and you get quite a few options no reason to leave without being happy and full after a good boogie. Good access to toilets parking you can drop off then a little further on is the car park.

Had a superb Christmas Lunch here today. Excellent service by Natalie. Very busy but managed well by Ginny, the Manageress of the day. An excellent lunch as always. We'll done!

Myself and my partner in the last week recently got married here at Oake Manor 😊 Cannot say just how pleased we were with the whole experience itself, the team at Oake Manor itself are outstanding and helped with the smooth running throughout the day. In particular Ginny the wedding co-ordinator who honestly went above and beyond. When we first met Ginny you could tell she is genuinely passionate about her job and making your day as perfect as can be. When I spoke about our wedding theme and wanted to have it all multi-coloured she was just as excited about it as I was, it was great to have her as enthusiastic about it the same as me 😊 when I came to her with my ideas nothing was too much and honestly felt like having her help with planning made the whole process a lot less stressful then I had imagined it to be. A lot of things were included within the wedding package itself which meant there were extras I didn't need to worry about, Ginny and Oake Manor itself provided a lot and did all the setting up of the wedding the night before! We had lots of different options with pretty much everything! Ginny & the team on the day of the wedding were amazing and cannot praise them enough! Friends, family & our photographer commented throughout the day how lovely the staff, the food and the setting itself was and what a wonderful day it was!! Already thinking about renewing our vows in years to come and doing the whole thing again at Oake Manor!! I would 100% recommend Oake Manor to any future couples looking to get married, wish I could do it all over again! There are not enough words to say how grateful we are.. thank you all so much for making our big day really special ❤️

Best Sunday roast by far. Excellent food and great value.

Well well what can I say about Ashley wood the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow its the first time I've played here and probably the best course in Dorset that doesn't require a handicap to attend. Had a quick bite before we started pleasantly surprised booked a buggy as I knew slope index would be high and man in pro shop matched the hot deal price as it's cheaper so value for money was great. Didn't get my best score but got a few pars thanks to the tattooed golf coach Harry shaws lessons at parley and the views here at blandford were picturesque and course is well looked after and we play quick with the buggy and slower group in front let us through pretty quick which was great only wished I lived closer to the course as I'd loved to be a member here but we'll worth the 45 minute drive so we'll be visiting again very soon.

Visited the clubhouse restaurant for a Sunday roast. Lovely friendly atmosphere and excellent customer service. The food was really good and arrived quickly to our table. Generous portion sizes and waitress looked after us throughout our meal. I would recommend booking a table in advance as it gets quite busy as very popular!! I'm definitely visiting again as I heard their full English breakfast is amazing. Highly Recommend.

Course is in great condition ,fairways are good and greens are well looked after. The clubhouse serves some great food and has good beers on tap. The pro shop has some good stock and plenty of items. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Stayed overnight here and ignore first impressions with the caravans people are living in in the carpark at.the front. It's quiet in the part round the back apart from the light aircraft field that's behind it. But for a.stop over on your travels it does.the job.

A very nice camp site with good facilities. Unfortunately for us it never stopped raining so we didn't have much chance to look round. The golf course looks popular and always had people on it. The fishing lake looked inviting but I didn't try it due to the awful weather. Hardstandings are available. Good value for money if you use your own gas for heating rather than the electric.

Stunning golf course that will test all your skills and abilities. Pick your tee box wisely. Played here in late July & was able to book a reasonably priced green fee on their website in the afternoon. First impressions in the pro-shop were excellent and that is because we met the manager (apologies I have forgotten your name) who chatted to use and helped us with sorting out an electric buggy and giving help on how to play the first holes to get us started. Wonderful way to start the round, thank you. Isle of Purbeck Golf Club has some stunning views on some great holes, so be prepared to get some amazing photos as you walk the course. If you are walking, be prepared as it is a big course to walk with ups & downs for all 18 holes. The reason for 4* is that we were held up by a 4 ball of tourists who really didn't know how to play at a decent pace or understand that they were holding up play & should have allowed us and another group to play through. There were no course marshals to manage the pace of play. This was quite frustrating. The course was dry and the greens were in good condition, we were lucky enough to play on a warm sunny afternoon, which obviously helped with the positive experience. There are plenty of interesting & different holes on this course. No experience of the clubhouse or the restaurant as we were late finishing our round & needed to leave as soon as we finished. Looking forward to returning.

We always make a point of driving 2.5hrs to play this gem of a golf course every year. It is a fantastic golf course and in great condition, there are many challenges and so many stand out holes. The scenery is stunning , the staff are very friendly and we always enjoy a meal in the clubhouse with those views. Thanks again for a wonderful experience and we look forward to next year and many more to come.

Really enjoyable round at Isle of Purbec Golf Club, greens are running fast and true, rough is tough and unforgiving (if you can find the ball !) Of particular note are the views around the course, which are unsurpassed !

Stunning place to play golf, the course is a decent challenge and has beautiful views where ever you are. Well appointed clubhouse and plenty of parking. Can’t wait to play it again.
