Golf Courses in Bournemouth - Golfing Heaven?
The Golf courses in Bournemouth and the surrounding areas are a fantastic reflection of the Town. There are over 17 different courses in close proximity to Bournemouth Town Centre and each presents a unique challenge to golfers. One of the best ones in the area is Canford Magna Golf Club at over 45 holes and an excellent standard of throughout. It also has a par 3 nine hole holes game. Another favourite is Knighton Heath, a fantastic challenge with splendid undulating views of the surrounding heath as well as the being varied on different height levels. A truly majestic and scenic experience.
Another fantastic little club is the 9 holer in West Parley. Right opposite Bournemouth Airport, great on a nice sunny day. You could think you were anywhere in the World. This one always has amongst the very finest greens anywhere in Bournemouth, great for a short game. Meyrick Park and Bournemouth are perhaps the most exclusive in Bournemouth itself. These two are regularly hosting tournaments. Perhaps the most popular is one situated behind Bournemouth Hospital, long stretched out fairways with their fair share of dog legs. An open ranging design, however, due to its popularity sometimes the first 9 holes can be a bit rough.
West Moors is another interesting challenge and has many obstacles to navigate around, all round a good test of your general skills. An excellent destination to enjoy one of lifes finer if not always rewarding pursuits. Bournemouth and the surrounding areas have a great choice and balance of the good the bad and the ugly tests of golfing prowess, definately one of the premier destinations to play in the summer.
