Originally known as the Dorset Golf Club & re-designed by Harry Colt Broadstone became a quintessential heathland course and little has changed since. The course is laid out on glorious rolling terrain. The elevated homeward nine provides panoramic views of the Purbeck Hills and Poole Harbour. Measuring 6,315 yards from the back tees and 5,467 yards from the forward tees, Broadstone is not a championship layout. Having said this, a number of important amateur tournaments have been held here, testing some of the very best golfers. And although Broadstone cannot offer length from the tee, it can offer beauty, with profusion of heather, gorse, birch and pines. In many ways, Broadstone is a shorter, cross between Sunningdale and Walton Heath. High praise indeed.
