Knighton Heath Golf Club provides a traditional Dorset golf experience in a mature, tree-lined setting, offering a useful contrast to the county’s more exposed coastal courses.
Why play Knighton Heath
The course appeals to golfers who value accuracy, course management and a quieter inland atmosphere. Its position within the Bournemouth and Poole golf corridor makes it suitable for inclusion in a multi-course Dorset break.
Playing character
Position from the tee is important, with tree-lined holes encouraging controlled shot selection rather than constant aggression. Approaches benefit from disciplined distance control and a willingness to play for the safest part of the green.
Who it suits
Knighton Heath is a strong option for established club golfers, societies and mixed-handicap groups looking for a strategic but manageable round.
Stay • Play • Recover
Accommodation around Bournemouth, Poole and the wider Dorset coast creates several practical stay options. Post-round recovery can include light mobility work, coastal walking or a nearby spa treatment as part of a balanced short break.
