The Best Golf Courses in West Compton, 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……

Specifically a review on the coaching and Pro Shop. Had lessons with Bailey Birch since the beginning of this year. Couldn’t have imagined such a big change in my swing and my enjoyment of the game since having lessons with him. Lessons in particular are very good. Lots of important information and always a positive outcome with a specific working point to work on inbetween lessons. This always led to a visible solid improvement without overloading me on too many issues with my swing at once. Couldn’t recommend him enough if considering lessons whether it’s a playing lesson, range session or in the simulator.

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.

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

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.

Our first ever round at BWDGC, and I have to say that the course was fantastic. Spectacular views, some outstanding holes, especially the 6th, and it was in great condition. A very warm welcome from the staff on arrival and everybody could not have been friendlier. Everyone we spoke to during the day, including other golfers, made our visit most memorable. I would definitely recommend a trip to all golfers, and I hope to visit again someday.

First visit, very impressed with the facilities, loved the 6th hole and the course location on the coast. The stunning weather enhanced our experience. The only negative is the risk to the general public/walkers.

Warm welcome, fab breakfast and service (we’ll forget the coffee spillage lol). Great course in excellent condition, tight fairways with some challenging par 3s, the signature 8th is great! Greens ran well and are all challenging in various degrees. And what about the views. A gem of a course, for £30… bargain! Will return!

Fantastic course in lovely condition, great fun playing in the wind and spectacular views at almost every hole

Such a lovely golf club, came here to practice our swing (not very experienced golfers). The range is beautiful and you can hit off real grass, a useful experience when you're a beginner. The putting/pitching course is amazing. Visited the gold shop to look around and the service was really friendly, didn't feel out of place. Wish I was good enough to go out on the green, must be amazing.

A good friend and I travelled to play an open competition at Sherborne recently. Not only was the course in good condition, but the staff made us feel very welcome and appreciated. Even the captain made time to introduce himself and make us feel at home. This course will ask questions of anyones game, regardless of ability. If you’re thinking about visiting, then book yourself in, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to all concerned.

A very friendly welcome from the pro shop on arrival with a good hearty breakfast in the clubhouse with a warm welcome. Weather conditions were overcast with a good downpour after 15 holes,but this did not stop us having a good days golf ⛳️. The course was heavy under foot from the previous day’s ☔️ rain but the fairways were nice to play off if played clean off the preferred lies, as for the greens they are very fast for November and very true. All in all a good away day worth a trip 👍

Decent little golf course! Well kept and a great chipping practice green. Polite and helpful staff at the shop. Definitely visit again

Great course, driving range was very nice. Staff were friendly and price is very good at £6 a round.

Great driving range with range tracking equipment. Really great to see your progress...or otherwise!

Luke and Fern are two of the best professionals I know, being a PGA professional myself I would trust Luke and Fern with any aspect of my golf and urge people to utilise either of these fantastic pros to help them with there golfing journey!

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!

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.

Lovely 9 holes of golf. Easy to book via website we were advised pro shop would be shut that day and to check in at clubhouse. Warm welcome on arrival and purchased range tokens and rental trollies. Other players/members chatty and welcoming, and nice round. Uncle hadn’t played for about 10 years so nice course for him to get his swing back. Wasn’t rushed about on the course. nice course and very welcoming. Highly recommended for a peaceful round of golf at a fair price.

Friendly relaxed golf club and great for kids to learn.

Had a great day out at Bulbury today. The course is tight in places and very unforgiving if you stray off the fairway. It was in excellent condition. The staff made you feel very welcome and were very friendly.

We played a Dorset past captains match versus Hampshire past captains ⛳️ The course was in excellent condition very well manicured, the greens were very fast and true. The catering was also good and all the staff were very friendly. The club captain was in our first group out and he set a high standard with his course knowledge,well played Rob ⛳️ if you are in the area I would recommend a visit for a good challenging game and the bar is just the job on a hot day sitting on the patio 🏖️ or just pop in for a bit to eat and a drink🍹

We try to play a different course each week. This was delightful to play !! Beautiful tree-lined fairways...very narrow in places...lots of par 4's and 5 in the 1st 9. Many undulations, sloping fairways, hills, and doglegs left and right gets you golf fit pushing your cart. Tricky approaches coming in to some "fast & foxy" greens. This 18 hole course has a great layout. Extremely friendly members and staff. The facilities are modern and inviting. We will definitely be back as it was only 20 min from home. What a find. ⛳😁🏌️‍♀️

Lovely golf club, super clubhouse. Great views from the clubhouse terrace and the course was in excellent condition, some of the fairways are fiendishly difficult, lots of little lumps and bumps to throw the ball off course. Even with a good shot straight down the middle you can end up with a very demanding lie, it certainly gets your attention.

Played at T&P yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the course and clubhouse. The course was in great condition for the time of year and the layout was a pleasure to play. Well worth a visit for any player looking for a testing, fair and enjoyable game of golf.

Good food at the club! May have to preorder for a big group as they do not allow you to bring your own food onto the premises

Great course, some stunning holes and good greens. A little expensive but I think worth 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.

Lovely golf venue with 3 9 hole courses, all 3 are a good challenge and normally in really good condition. Pro shop is well stocked and the staff are friendly. The clubhouse is large and has ample seating inside and out, good range of beers and Cider, food is also spot on. Across the road they have a large trackman equipped driving range which is great for warming up before a round.

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

Brilliant course brilliant staff , Absolutely great experience the course is immaculate full credit to green staff and management for what is truly a tip top course , there are normally one or two holes on a course that you think to yourself are a little weak or don’t quite fit right , but not here everyone of the holes are beauty’s get there for a game if you can , played on Monday the 25th of July .

The best golf course that I have played in a long time, every thing about the place was 1st class. Very warm welcome on arrival which continue all day staff excellent. The courses was thoughtless . I didn't play all that well but was a pleasure to have played it and looking forward to returning and hopefully playing better.

Wonderful golf course in exceptional condition. Played on a sunny Sunday afternoon and felt like only ones on the course! Very friendly welcome from staff and we were well looked after. Thanks very much!

Best course I've played at in Dorset. The condition was excellent. The clubhouse is relaxed with great views. Some really memorable and challenging holes, but fair test of golf.
