Course status
Closed permanently in March 2024
Dorset County Golf Union confirmed that Dudsbury Golf Course closed on 31 March 2024 after more than 30 years of operation. The hotel, spa, catering and events businesses had already closed on 1 February 2024.
The site was sold for future development. TGG therefore no longer treats Dudsbury as a playable visitor course.
What was here?
A Donald Steel parkland course beside the River Stour
Dudsbury was a Donald Steel-designed championship parkland course near Ferndown, with water in play across several holes, USGA-specification greens and a strong practice setup.
The course had hosted PGA EuroPro Tour events and other significant regional competitions before its closure.
