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 or holiday accommodation.
- Check lead rules before travelling, especially for links, clifftop 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 and restaurant rules; they are not always the same.
- Use county pages for Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire when you need a smaller shortlist near a holiday base.
