Golf Courses: Dogs Under Control

Dogs Under Control

What Does "Dogs Under Control" Mean?

Dogs are welcome and can be off-lead provided they are under close control at all times. Well-behaved dogs can enjoy the course freely.

Who Is This Policy Best For?

This policy is perfect for well-trained dogs who respond reliably to recall commands. Great for active dogs who enjoy running, social dogs comfortable around strangers, and experienced dog owners who can manage their pets in open spaces.

We've found 7 golf courses across the UK with this dog policy.

Can I take my dog on a golf course?

Sometimes, yes — but dog access depends on the individual club policy. If you are asking whether dogs are allowed on golf courses generally, start with the guide to taking dogs on golf courses, compare dogs-under-control courses with lead-required courses, then check the course page before travelling.

Club rules can differ between the course, clubhouse, terrace and practice areas, so treat each listing as a planning guide rather than a guarantee.
