Knighton Heath Golf Club
A mature inland Dorset course in the Bournemouth–Poole area, offering a quieter, tree-lined alternative to the county’s more exposed coastal and heathland golf.
A traditional inland contrast
Knighton Heath adds a useful change of pace to a Dorset golf trip. Rather than relying on exposed coastal scenery or resort infrastructure, it offers a more traditional members-club environment where accuracy, positioning and sensible course management are the reasons to play.
Who it suits
Accuracy-led golfers
A good fit for players who enjoy position, shape and course management more than pure distance.
Bournemouth stays
Convenient when the accommodation and non-golf side of the trip is centred around Bournemouth or Poole.
Mixed Dorset itineraries
Use it to contrast a more exposed day at Purbeck or a deeper heathland round at East Dorset.
