Historic Downland Course

My first visit under the monthly auspices of the DCGA. The club has a rich history - established in the late 1800s, constructed by Open Champion JH Taylor and reshaped by the renowned HS Colt in 1927, it was also played regularly by Samuel Ryder (founder of the Ryder Cup). The course is high on the downs between Dorchester and Weymouth and is highly rated amongst the Dorset options. In lovely condition, I found the combination of sloping fairways and very quick greens a real, but enjoyable, challenge. Clubhouse is a little dilapidated and the standard green fee at £40 is a bit toppish but twilight at £17 is very good value. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
