About Golf in Bournemouth
Bournemouth is one of the south coast's most popular seaside destinations - seven miles of sandy beaches, a vibrant town centre, and a mild climate that attracts visitors year-round. But for golfers, it is the extraordinary concentration of heathland courses in the surrounding Dorset and Hampshire countryside that makes Bournemouth truly special. Few areas in England can rival the quality and quantity of golf within a 20-minute drive of the town centre.

Why Gift Golf Lessons in Bournemouth?
Parkstone Golf Club, situated between Bournemouth and Poole, is one of the finest and best-known courses on the south coast, ranked in the top 100 golf courses in Great Britain and Ireland. Its heathland fairways wind through pine and heather, and the quality of the conditioning is consistently outstanding. Ferndown Golf Club, founded in 1912, is another Top 100 England course - this is where the legendary BBC commentator Peter Alliss grew up and honed his skills, and the course remains a classic of its kind.
Broadstone Golf Club, shaped over the years by Tom Dunn, Herbert Fowler, and Harry Colt, has earned its place in the top 50 courses in England. Its elevated heathland plateau offers stunning views and a links-like quality to the turf. Remedy Oak, designed by former Ryder Cup captain John Jacobs and opened in 2005, is one of Britain's finest modern inland courses, set in 256 acres of ancient Dorset woodland. This concentration of elite courses within a compact area makes Bournemouth genuinely exceptional as a golf destination.
