Tennis Holidays. Dorset
Golf Tennis Holidays, based from the Bourne Hall, Bournemouth. We do appreciate golfing demands!! Our
breakfasts can be served to accommodate early tee off times, and our
bar can accommodate late 19th hollers!! While staying at the Bourne Hall Hotel in Bournemouth, we can arrange your itinerary for you, all you will have to do is arrive and play. Brochures from some
golf clubs can be a little difficult to come by, but if you need any further information or directions, please do not hesitate to ask, most are easily explained. We can offer special discounted green fees on some courses - these include Dorset
Golf Country
Club, Crane Valley, Bulbury Woods Wareham. By tradition, most golfing holidays tend to be taken early and late season. Please do bear in mind that if you are a large group, or want to play at a weekend, the more notice you can give the better, and also alternative courses would help in your itinerary choice. We do require a deposit of £25.00 per person, and final numbers, 7 days prior to your
party arriving at the hotel. We also appreciate how difficult it can be organising a
golf tour, and we will do all we can to make the arrangements as straightforward as possible. It should be noted that it can be difficult to book large groups at weekends on some of the private courses, which restrict play to members. East Dorset, Purbeck, Bulbury Woods and Crane Valley do take larger groups at weekends, but we do need to book early. We have taken a selection of local courses shown. Should you require further information on these or others, please do not hesitate to call. As far as bookings are concerned, we are able to pre-book Queens Park and Meyrick Park subject to a small booking fee, and can arrange your full intinerary on your behalf. If you are not regular golfers, and in the process of taking up the
game, we can arrange a course of lessons, practice at local driving ranges, and some play on suitable courses. Please do note that prices quoted below are liable to change without notification from the clubs. Therefore they should be taken as a guide only.
