The Bristol Golf Club

Built to USGA specifications and opened in 2000, The Bristol Golf Club is a modern championship layout that makes the most of its setting in the West Country. At 6,111 yards it's not about overpowering the course, it's about placing the ball in the right parts of the fairway and thinking your way into the greens.

You'll notice the conditioning straight away. Fairways tend to play firm when the weather allows, greens generally roll true and the bunkering is there to catch anything a little lazy off the tee or into the approaches. Miss in the wrong spot and you'll be relying on a tidy short game, but play to your angles and it's a fair test rather than a slog.

If you're planning a UK break and want a dependable venue where standards are taken seriously, this is a strong option for a society day, a mixed-ability group or anyone who enjoys modern course design done properly. It's the kind of place that works well as part of a Bristol weekend or as a reliable add-on with other West Country courses.

Who is this for?

Who is it best for?
