"Came Down Golf Club offers stunning
360 degree views to locations such as Weymouth, Portland, Dorchester, Isle of
Wight, Maiden Castle and more.
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."

Reviews
The 5th of 6 courses we played on our visit to England.
Nicely situated course on top of lovely rolling Dorset downs with great views all round.
We had a very friendly reception in the pro-shop and in the small but pleasant clubhouse.
Although not the longest of courses it's a decent test for all level players with some nice holes; some par 4's providing Eagle chances to an average long-hitter. Some nice wide fairways allowing you to get into the ball with relative impunity. It was just a shame that the greens had just had a major maintenance, so we couldn't see them at their best.
A course that we will definitely return to on our next visit to England.
Value For Money: Good
