Parley Court Golf Club

Parley Court operates as Parley Golf Centre, a pay-and-play facility on the edge of Bournemouth close to the Dorset and Hampshire border, in the flat, wooded country around the Avon and Stour valleys near Bournemouth Airport. The centre offers both nine-hole and eighteen-hole options, giving golfers the choice of a quick round or a full round depending on time and ability, alongside a set of membership packages aimed at regular players. Practice is catered for by a twenty-seven-bay floodlit driving range, allowing golfers to work on their game after dark or outside of round-length sessions, a significant facility for a centre of this size. The Parley area sits within easy reach of Christchurch and the New Forest to the east and the wider Bournemouth conurbation to the west, giving the centre a useful position for golfers based across the south coast. As a centre rather than a traditional private members' club, it is geared towards accessibility, with routes into the game for beginners as well as options for more experienced players wanting a shorter or longer test. The combination of flexible course lengths and extensive floodlit practice space marks it out from many of the members' clubs found elsewhere in Dorset.
