Dudsbury Golf Club

Dudsbury Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course in Dorset, England, designed by Donald Steel — the architect behind the master plan for the modern St Andrews. Stretching to 6,904 yards across 160 acres of countryside, the layout rolls gently down toward the River Stour, with the south-facing clubhouse offering panoramic views year round. Rated 4.4 by Hole19 golfers, it has earned a strong reputation across 60+ reviews on the platform. Water is a constant factor here, coming into play on 14 of the 18 holes and demanding careful course management throughout. The closing stretch is where the round is decided. The 15th is a drop-down par 3 ringed by bunkers on three sides, followed by the par 4 16th — the course's feature hole — where players must carry two lakes and a stream to reach the green. The 17th is a long, uphill par 5 that rewards the more aggressive drive, while the 18th sweeps from left to right, climbing toward the clubhouse. A trio of bunkers guards the left side of the fairway, with trees lining the right, making for a demanding finish.
