What the club says: The Donald Steel designed 6904 yard par 71 championship course is set in 160 acres of beautiful Dorset countryside rolling gently down to the River Stour. To add more interest, water comes into play on 14 holes, with numerous little streams, crossed by picturesque Purbeck stone bridges, linking nine lakes around the course.

Reviewed Jun 17 2020 by Andy P - rated 4 out of 5 The course was i good condition for the time of year, alot of work has been done on the drainage at the bottom of the course and this has made a big difference. Club house has been completely redesigned and is really good.

Reviewed Aug 2 2019 by Mike R - rated 5 out of 5 Very interesting and challenging parkland course
Dudsbury is very much the "best of the rest" in terms of the courses to play that aren't the big three heathlands or Remedy Oak. It has a lot of water but can become quite firm and fast in the summer. It is a really interesting and varies layout that really challenges all aspects of your game. The greens were fairly true when I played but did need a bit of a cut and so played a bit slow. I would imagine, however, that once cut and rolled they would be very slick. The fairways were a bit dry and bare in patches, probably left over from last summer's very dry weather. If they can sort this out then you will be guaranteed a fantastic day of golf when you play here.(Round played: Aug 2019 - Score: 77 Handicap: 3.3)

Reviewed Jun 11 2019 by Mark S - rated 4 out of 5 A very good course and hospitality
A very friendly club, stayed for 2 nights and 2 rounds at the end of April 2019 the course was in great condition and the back nine is especially challenging.The hotel service was excellent as was the food and the Ringwood bitter. The rooms are very comfortable if a tad on the small side. This was the 2nd time I have stayed here and I have no hesitation in returning again.

Reviewed May 6 2019 by Neil P - rated 4 out of 5 Great Course & friendly staff
The course is in good condition, fairways were excellent, a little too much sand on the greens but understandable at this time of year after treatment, bunkers on front 9 were good but on the back 9 they were in a poor state with very little sand, overall though an enjoyable experience, we paid £29.00 which was good value.(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 94 Handicap: 24.8)

Reviewed Oct 27 2018 by Ian R - rated 3 out of 5 Good Course but VERY slow play
Firstly I should say the greens here are fantastic, best I have played on all summer/autumn. The front 9 is very compact and squeezed in to a small space but the back 9 seems more spread out and enjoyable. Practice facilities are good and the practice green is very similar to actual course greens. Staff were very friendly and the clubhouse was nice. However, this was all ruined by the pace of play. Usually takes me 3-3.5 hrs as part of a 2 ball to complete a round. I played here on my own, tee?d off at 2pm and finished my round at 6:20pm (in the dark). Slow 4 balls a few groups up did not let anyone through and actually cut their round short as it was getting dark. Another group I spoke to said it?s always slow here. Disappointing because it could be a great course but at the prices they charge I would struggle to justify playing again, especially at winter twighlight rates because I wouldn?t see being able to finish before it?s too dark.Course (layout/challlenge)

I played at Dudsbury as part of a golf society in September 2018. The course is very picturesque and is a good challenge for any golfer. There is water on 14 holes, 9 of which require you to hit a shot over it! Most of our golfers found it a big challenge. The clubhouse is good and the staff were all very friendly.Course (layout/challlenge)

Brilliant course. First time playing there and will be returning soon. It has a great layout with a good level of challenge, not ridiculously hard but a lot of shots which made you think and plan carefully. Paid ?20 for a twilight fee, which is great as usually ?45. Only downside, got stuck behind some young members (fourball) who were infuriatingly slow and didnt seem to realise that we (twoball) were waiting at every opportunity. Also great clubhouse which serves Ringwood brewery beer...a big added bonus.Course (layout/challlenge)
