Description

"The Came Down Golf Club opened for business in 1896, and in the 108 years or so since their doors were thrown open to players, the staff at the club have made every effort to maintain and improve the quality of their fine parkland course. As a result of that, it has matured fabulously in such a short period of time and has built up a fearsome reputation amongst club golfers in Dorset.

Came Down Golf Club played an important part in the founding of the Ryder Cup. For his holidays Samuel Ryder liked to go to the seaside resort of Weymouth on Dorset's coast (a few miles from Came Down GC). Whilst on holiday he played his golf at Came Down and on discovering its talented professional, Ernest Whitcombe, could ill afford to attend important tournaments decided to do something to help

It spans 6244 yards in total and there are some particularly long holes to tackle - so the big hitters will certainly enjoy taking it on. If you need to warm-up your swing in preparation for the challenges that lie ahead, the practice area is, appealingly, only two minutes walk from the first tee."
