Came Down Golf Club
Historic Dorset downland golf between Dorchester and Weymouth, with firm chalk subsoil, broad coastal views and a strategic layout associated with J.H. Taylor and Harry Colt.
A different expression of Dorset golf
Came Down gives a Dorset itinerary useful contrast. Rather than pine, heather or clifftop drama, the round is shaped by elevated inland terrain, exposure and the need to respond to wind. Its position near Dorchester makes it particularly practical for golfers moving between Weymouth, Bridport and the wider Jurassic Coast.

A natural addition when staying around Dorchester, Weymouth or the western Jurassic Coast.
Walking golfers
The elevated setting gives the round a strong landscape-led identity and a sense of movement through open country.
Variety seekers
Useful between heathland and coastal rounds when the aim is to experience several different Dorset course styles.
