The Mendip Golf Club has come a long way since relocating to its current site back in 1908. From its early beginnings as a nine hole layout it has been continuously improved over the years into the superb eighteen hole par 71 course that it is today. Rated in the top 150 golf courses in the British Isles, and measuring 6383 yards from the white tees, Mendip is a challenging course suitable for golfers of all abilities.

 

With its fairways of springy downland turf, "Mendip" boasts lies that some golfers can only dream about. The undulating Mendip terrain comes into play on many holes and makes the placement of tee shots very important. The excellent greens are maintained to a very high standard, many having pronounced borrows which need careful reading.

 

Located on the North slope of the Mendips, 15 miles south-west of Bath, the highest point on the course is almost 1000 feet above sea level on the 3rd fairway. Looking around on a fine day, visitors can enjoy unparalleled views over seven counties, including the Welsh mountains, spectacular King Arthur's Vale of Avalon, mysterious Glastonbury Tor, and across to Bridgwater Bay and Exmoor.

 

Over the years, Mendip has received many accolades in national golfing titles and guides. It is worthy of the "hidden gem" description given by one magazine - a course not to miss. Mendip is a superbly designed course and, together with its magnificent views and tranquil setting, it must surely be one of the finest places anywhere to play golf.

 

Why not take this opportunity to look around our web site or - better still - come and play "Mendip" as we look forward to celebrating our Centenary in 2008.
