Planning dog-friendly golf in South West England
- Start with Cornwall, Devon and Dorset if you want to combine a round with dog-friendly beaches, walking routes, caravan sites or holiday accommodation.
- Use the Cornwall, Devon and Dorset county pages to narrow a large regional shortlist into courses near a realistic holiday base or day-trip route.
- Check lead rules before travelling, especially for links, clifftop, parkland and countryside courses where livestock, wildlife or public footpaths may affect access.
- For golf breaks and resort stays, separate the course dog policy from hotel, lodge, clubhouse, patio and restaurant rules; they are not always the same.
- Treat club-confirmed policy notes as stronger planning signals, but still confirm before making a special journey or booking accommodation.
