Highcliffe Castle Golf Club

The Bournemouth district is one of the greatest all-the-year-round golf centres in the British Isles, and among the Bournemouth courses Highcliffe Castle has a special place of its own. It is the shortest of them all, but it possesses an unusual combination of qualities, being at once easy and interesting, and full of variety in spite of being laid out on level ground. The course is well-bunkered, but only a semi-rough with an occasional patch of gorse divides the fairways, so that there is none of the irritation of hunting for lost balls. It is a particularly attractive course for the the elderly who dislike anything in the nature of climbing but it can also be a test for the scratch golfer, for whom, curiously enough, it is a difficult course to score on.
