Heritage and Unconventional Design
Parkstone Golf Club, located near Poole and Bournemouth on the picturesque Dorset coastline, is widely regarded as one of the finest inland courses in Southern England. Established in 1909, this 18-hole course (Par 72, Max Tees: approximately 6,368 yards) is a perfect example of classic heathland golf. The layout was largely designed by the famed Willie Park Jr. and later polished by the equally renowned James Braid, ensuring a pedigree rooted in the Golden Age of architecture.
While shorter than some modern championship courses, Parkstone’s challenge is purely strategic. It is defined by its pristine conditioning, gorgeous rolling terrain, and the way the course winds through dense, towering maritime pines and vibrant heather, creating an intimate, beautiful, and highly demanding environment.

Key Information
Parkstone is a masterclass in strategic design, demanding accuracy and placement over brute force. Because the course is heavily lined with mature pines and dense heather, any wayward shot is instantly and severely penalized. The fairways are firm and often subtly undulating, leading to tricky lies and demanding approaches. The greens themselves are often fast and protected by beautifully sculpted bunkering, forcing the golfer to consider angles and trajectories carefully.
The routing of the course is fantastic, maximizing the natural elevation changes to provide sweeping views over Poole Harbour and the distant coastline—a visual treat that contrasts wonderfully with the intimate feel of the pine-lined fairways. This course consistently rewards the thoughtful golfer who can work the ball around the strategic corners and respect the placement of the bunkers.
