Golf Courses: Lead Required
Lead RequiredWhat Does "Lead Required" Mean?
Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times while on the golf course. This policy ensures safety for all golfers and wildlife on the course.
Who Is This Policy Best For?
This policy is ideal for owners of dogs who may be excitable around other people or wildlife, nervous dogs, or those still in training. It provides a structured environment where your dog can enjoy the walk while you play.
We've found 43 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.
