Why play

Golf in the heart of Bournemouth

Queen’s Park Golf Course officially opened in 1905 and remains a mature, challenging public course set inside one of Bournemouth’s largest green spaces.

The value for travelling golfers is straightforward: no private-club barrier, a live online booking system, central Bournemouth access and a round that can fit naturally into a shorter South Coast stay.

Playing character

Mature parkland with public-space awareness

The course moves through mature parkland with tree-lined fairways, natural slopes and dips. That makes position and course management more important than chasing distance on every hole.

Queen’s Park is also a public open space, so golfers must remain aware of walkers and other park users. The club explicitly asks players to give way where necessary and show consideration around shared areas.

Visitor planning

Live online booking and daily course status

Visitors can book tee times online, with green fees varying by date and time. Current dusk prices can start from around £20, while the booking system shows the latest live rate and course condition.

The course status is updated daily, which is useful when wet or frosty weather could affect trolley or buggy access.

Accessibility

One of the more practical Dorset options for mobility support

The pavilion is step-free, with accessible toilets and lift access to the café. The club also supports buggy use as a reasonable adjustment for players with disabilities or restricted mobility, subject to course conditions.

A recommended buggy route follows flatter ground where possible. Visitors with specific access needs are encouraged to speak to the golf team before arrival.

Stay · Play · Recover

Use it as the easy-access Bournemouth round

Stay: central Bournemouth works naturally, keeping accommodation, dining and the course close together.

Play: use Queen’s Park as the accessible public round, then add a tougher heathland or coastal course elsewhere in Dorset for contrast.

Recover: short transfers and on-site café facilities make this one of the easier Dorset days to keep low-friction.
