September 2021 Update – Restaurant
Members, Patrons and Guests of Dudsbury Golf Club,
We are incredibly sorry to announce that due to the ongoing pandemic disruption including extreme staff shortages, we have no choice but to close The Spikes Bistro lunch and dinner service from 6th September 2021. We will not be able to accept any bookings from this date until further notice; this includes walk in diners.
This decision has not been taken lightly and we will continually review the situation, with the hope to resume service as soon as it’s possible to do so. However, Spikes Bistro will remain open for breakfast until 11am daily and hot & cold beverages will still be available from 7am – 11pm daily.
With this in mind, it is with regret we must advise all guests staying at our Hotel to find alternative dining arrangements for lunch and dinner. Spa swim times for hotel guests remain available between 4pm to 9pm (maximum numbers apply). Should any guests wish to cancel or amend their stay, please contact the reservations team in the first instance: reservations@dudsburygolfclub.co.uk
The following bookings will not be affected by the lunch/dinner closure:
- Private functions- existing private function bookings will be honoured. However, we are unable to accept new bookings at this time
- Golf & hotel breaks and golf societies with prebooked lunch/dinner arrangements
- Spa Days inclusive of lunch
We are working tirelessly to rectify the situation and look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Spikes Bistro in the near future.
I thank you for your support and understanding through these difficult times.
Yours sincerely
Paul Palmer

Had a spa day for my birthday recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. My friend and I were greeted by the Manager, Julie who made us feel very welcome and special! Rosie and Steph treated us and we felt very pampered. Lunch by the pool was equally good. Thank you all for a lovely experience. I will be back!

We stayed at The Dudsbury for a one night get away. The room was amazing as was the hotel and spa facilities. All the staff are lovelyl and approachable, especially Nathan Taylor who was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely be returning and recommend the Dudsbury to anyone who would like a cheeky get away. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay as pleasurable as it was.

We visited the spa. The staff were all warm and welcoming, and couldn't be nicer. There were a wide range of treatments available- we'd highly recommend the massage and pedicure. Plus a lovely pool, sauna, jacuzzi and steam rooms to relax in between treatments. Was a wonderful day and would definitely come back again. Oh and lunch was delightful too!

Lovely spa day today. Bought it as a birthday present for my sister in law. I've been here twice b4 with my mum and another friends birthday. Lisa the manager is one if the reasons I keep coming back. She is an absolute credit to this spa. Warm funny and exceptionally friendly. She cannot do enough for you to ensure you all have a great experience. The 2 beauty therapists were excellent and we were in a twin bedded room so we cud he together. My massage was excellent.

Dudsbury Golf Club, along with Spikes and the Orangery, Bentley's Restaurant and the Spa, are my friends and mine favourite place to go. The staff are so helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. The food is exceptional, the service A1. I have recommended it to so many of my family and friends.

Had a large family gathering at Bentley's restaurant in the golf course. We all ate the carvery. Good food, good value, good company and the staff were very pleasant. The live piano player also added to the relaxed atmosphere of the dinning room.

I regularly visit the Dudsbury Spa because I love it! Lisa and all the girls make you feel so welcome and the food is delicious. My last visit to the Dudsbury was for a hen party, I had an Indian Head Massage which was AMAZING! All the girls on the hen party said how relaxed they felt and how brilliant their massages were! Will be back very soon! 🙂

I was a member when I was a kid and the course was quite young and I love going back 20years later with friends to play on one of the best courses around.
It's a really welcoming club, you never feel out of place here.

We stayed for two nights and two rounds on a midweek break and had a great time with our society. The hotel is clean throughout and the rooms are a good size. The course is very good and interesting throughout with a great spa for a massage after! The team were all brilliant (especially Shelley, Steve and Sue in the bar) and couldn't do enough to look after us throughout. Thanks for a nice stay - very, very good value.

Wonderful stay as usual. A clean, well appointed hotel with great food and service.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. An example was when I forgot to bring anything to tie my hair up before using the pool and spa - meaning no swim. Shelley, who was working at the time, kindly took her own hair do out to lend me her clip.

Me and my husband came to stay over the weekend, we were greeted by Mia one of the receptionists who was very friendly and helpful! Mia told us all the rooms in the main hotel had just had a refurbishment and i must say our room was lovely! We used the Spa facilities in the afternoon, Lisa the Spa manager and the rest of the girls made us feel welcomed. We then had dinner in Spikes Bistro they had a great menu choice, the food was really nice and the Staff were amazing. Overall an amazing stay will definitely be coming back! I highly recommend!

Set in the countryside in Ferndown, Bournemouth this is a lovely venue for Weddings etc. A friend took me for breakfast which is served till 11 am and it was very nice and not too expensive. She then asked at Reception if they could show me Bentley's Restaurant which is upstairs with lovely views across the Golf course. It was where her son got married and I have to say it was very impressive.

Adore this place, quiet serene setting. It starts minute you walk through the door. Gentle music playing, not too busy, people spaced out so all have level of privacy when lounging by pool. Had a wonderful massage and facial then spent the day relaxing, sauna, jacuzzi.. spot of light lunch. Cant rave enough about the place, staff are just brilliant,. Would go every day if I didn't have work ????

Last weekend my husband and I were looking for something new to do. We decided to try this place. WOW!!!! Let me tell you what a great experience it was and so worth the 2 hour drive. I called ahead to make reservations and the staff were super friendly and helpful. It was a breeze scheduling us in. Once we got there we were greated with welcoming smiles by the front desk personnel. I believe the lady working the front said her name was Denise? Maybe Janice? Either way she showed us to the restaurant, which was delicious, where to check in for my spa treatment that left me feeling so refreshed and showed my husband where to check in for his golf game, he didn't do to good 🤣. Overall it was a wonderful time and we will definitely be back. To the owners, you and your staff are running a superb business.

Dudsbury Spa offers some great packages! Enjoyed having a manicure, doing a workout in the gym, a swim in the pool followed by a glass of prosecco with a delicious meal served at a beautifully set table next to the pool.

Great golf course although fairways a bit bare after the summer we had. Bar prices astronomical £1 for a packet of crisps!!! ????

Excellent food at lunch time, when we eventually got it! There was a mix up with our order and then a very long delay before the correct food came to our table. However, the staff were apologetic and everything was delicious.

Surprisingly good
Went last night for a surprise meal. Very good portions, nicely presented and tasty. Nice and obliging staff. My hubby was unwell, I asked a member of staff to box his meal, she did I that, wrapping the entire plate in foil. Would love to go back soon hopefully when other half is better & to take some photos. At this point I am happy to recommend.

First time at a driving range or even golfing for that matter and was very pleased. The staff were very friendly and helpful when asked questions and the local golfers were also very friendly. It was very fairly priced and killed a good few hours on a sunny afternoon. Amazing first time experience, definitely a place go to for a stress relief in the future 🙂

Nice meal in a group. Well presented. Lots of space. Only quibble was the steak which instead of being medium rare was on the way to being well done. In fairness they did offer to change it but as I was in a group did not want to sit without a meal while I waited.

Lovely and challenging course. Set in a lovely part of the world. Well kept, tidy with olent if hazards and water. Doesn't drain well after a couple of days of rain but what course doesn't. Known locally as Floodsbury to the regulars. The club house is nice, would recommend the Sunday roast, beef was fantastic.

A nice welcoming Golf course and hotel. Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. Bar and restaurant were also great. Food not over priced and good quality. Spa facilities reasonably priced and a nice spa area. Hotel Guests get discounts for treatments and use of the spa area at no cost.

Stayed whilst on business trip and pleasantly surprised at how good it was, not giving 5 Stars as didn't sample the gym and pool, yet.
V clean and functional rooms in a quiet environment on comfy beds.
Didn't eat here on the night but breakfast was v good with a really good menu available. Beers at the bar provided probs and a couple of tv's to watch sports on was good (I didn't have any beers at breakfast)
Didn't see a disabled access so suggest you contact then directly if this is a concern.
Overall it's clearly a golf centred facility but I wouldn't let that stop you going there for other reasons.

I'd have given 5 stars, but our 1st breakfast was a shambles. But when we did get it, it was wonderful. But it meant that we missed our Tee time, but the pro shop were excellent and managed to slot us in. We will definitely return. The course is In Beautiful condition, but the rough is very high. Take lots of balls if your not confident off the tee

Had a nice meal in their main bar and restaurant. Was very quiet, so we got served fast… good vale for money. All table service due to Covid. Had to book an early table as they only serve food to 2030h which is a bit too early really…
