Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club

Dorset, England

Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club, founded in 1891, is the oldest golf club in Dorset. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty adjacent to Chesil Beach on the Jurassic Coast, the course features a distinctive mix of links and cliff-top terrain. The layout offers breathtaking views across Lyme Bay to the west and Portland Bill to the east, with northward vistas across the rolling Hardy countryside. Described as a championship course, it ranks among the most exhilarating and challenging on England's south coast. The terrain includes dramatic cliff-top sections, notably featuring one hole with a 90-foot drop. While not overly severe with generous fairways, the course presents considerable difficulty through wind exposure and its challenging topography. The design balances playability with strategic complexity, making it suitable for holiday golf despite its demanding nature. The course's striking landscape and dramatic elevation changes create a memorable playing experience, with weather conditions significantly influencing play difficulty.
