All 106 bedrooms keep a traditional look that suits the building's art deco feel, but you still get the modern basics you need after a long day on the course. Rooms are comfortable and practical for a golf stay, with en-suites, tea and coffee facilities and enough space to unpack for a few nights rather than living out of your bag.
If you can, request a sea-view room. The outlook is the selling point here and balcony rooms are the standout if you fancy a bit of fresh air without heading down to the promenade. Inland-facing rooms are a solid option for value, especially for groups who plan to spend most of their time out on the courses or in town.
Facilities are a real plus for a Bournemouth base. In summer, guests can use one of Bournemouth's largest outdoor pools, heated during the warmer months and great for easing off after 18 or 36 holes. You've also got access to the neighbouring Suncliff indoor leisure centre with an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, gym and tournament-standard squash courts, handy if the weather turns or you've got non-golfers in the group.
Food and drink is centred around the Mirabelle Restaurant, set in an oak-panelled dining room with a bit of old-school glamour. The menu changes regularly but the standard is consistently high, and it's a good shout for a smarter evening meal. For something more relaxed, the Del Mar Lounge is ideal for a cocktail or a nightcap and when the sun's out the poolside Lido Deck is made for an easy lunch between rounds.
The hotel is a strong choice for a Bournemouth golf break because you can build a proper rota of courses without long daily drives. You'll find a mix of heathland tests, classic members' clubs and parkland options, which makes it easy to suit the whole group, from single-figure players to higher handicaps who still want a fair challenge.
Mix those with a couple of more forgiving rounds at Bournemouth's parkland courses and you've got a great two or three-night itinerary that keeps everyone happy. The area also offers coastal-influenced layouts if you want variety in the playing style, and most courses are within a 15 to 30-minute drive, so you're not spending half the day in the car.
If you're the organiser, the big win is convenience. You can stay by the sea, head out to quality courses during the day, then come back to facilities that work for groups, including pools, gym access and plenty of space for a relaxed evening. It's a straightforward, reliable base for golfers who want Bournemouth's best golf on tap, plus the beach and town within walking distance. If you're juggling a group chat and chasing deposits, we can package the hotel with tee times so you can just turn up and play.
