A public course and on the Day we played, there were a lot of pedestrians due to really nice weather.
Queens Park is located close to central Bournemouth, and is an extremely well established parkland layout. Founded in 1905, the course was opened by J H Taylor, Harry Vardon, James Braid and Alex Herd in an exhibition match as it started its life within some very famous company. The golf course went onto be a regular feature on the PGA European Tour, and was the venue for numerous high profile tournaments, hosting famous names like Seve Ballesteros, Sir Henry Cotton and Tony Jacklin.
Well-suited for mixed handicap groups, Queens Park is a challenging parkland course, with gently undulating fairways lined with mature trees. The most striking feature of this golf course in Bournemouth is its magnificent and picturesque surroundings - the course winds its way around the edge of an ancient forest, complete with deer and local wildlife. In places, the course can compete with almost any heathland layout with strategically placed heather lining fairways and approaches to greens.
