With a gap in fixtures and competitions - we’ll post our next Club In Focus - Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club & Toptracer Driving Range

⛳️Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club is the oldest in the county, having been formed in 1891.

⛳️The course is situated in an AONB (Area of Natural Beauty) on the Dorset Jurassic coastline.

⛳️The superbly designed Championship course is a mix of links and cliff-top terrain with the latter providing breath-taking views across Lyme Bay to the West and to Portland Bill in the East.

Have you played Bridport & West Dorset? 🧐

UPDATE: Due to heavy fog, this fixture has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date.
