Lyme Regis Golf Club brings elevated coastal golf to the West Dorset section of The Global Golfer’s Stay • Play • Recover network. Its setting above the Jurassic Coast gives the round a strong sense of place, with open views, changing wind and a walking experience that feels distinctly different from inland parkland golf.
Why play Lyme Regis Golf Club?
This is a course for golfers who value scenery, variety and the challenge of judging conditions. The coastal position means club selection can change quickly, while sloping ground and exposed sections reward controlled ball flight and sensible course management.
Playing character
Expect an elevated layout where wind, gradients and uneven lies can influence both strategy and scoring. Accuracy from the tee matters, but positioning and distance control are equally important. On breezier days, keeping the ball lower and accepting conservative targets will often be more effective than chasing distance.
Who will enjoy it?
- Golfers planning a scenic Dorset or Jurassic Coast break
- Players who enjoy exposed, condition-dependent golf
- Mixed-handicap groups looking for a memorable regional round
- Visitors combining golf with Lyme Regis, coastal walks or nearby stays
Stay • Play • Recover
Lyme Regis works particularly well as part of a short coastal itinerary. Pair the round with a stay in Lyme Regis or West Dorset, allow time for the town and seafront, and build in a gentler recovery period after the walk. Hydration, mobility work and a relaxed post-round meal are especially useful after an exposed coastal round.
Before booking
Check current visitor availability, dress requirements, trolley guidance and any seasonal restrictions directly with the club. Coastal weather can change quickly, so pack an extra layer and confirm the forecast before travelling.
