Thornbury Golf Centre sits just 10 minutes from Junction 16 of the M5, offering two distinct courses on a well-maintained pay-and-play facility in the Bristol countryside. The location works well for golfers exploring the South West or breaking up a longer journey. Bristol city centre is roughly 20 minutes away depending on traffic, so it's an easy base if you want golf by day and a decent dinner scene after. The M5 corridor opens up quick access to courses across Gloucestershire, Somerset and South Wales, making Thornbury a practical stop for groups wanting a relaxed base with golf on the doorstep.
It's set up for proper, no-faff practice too, with a 25-bay floodlit range that's handy when you can only sneak out after work or need to loosen up before a round. The well-stocked pro shop covers equipment, clothing and accessories, while two function rooms and an 11-bedroom lodge make this more than just a day-trip venue. Whether it's a society outing, corporate day, family celebration or wedding reception, Thornbury combines quality golf with genuine hospitality and flexible event space.
Who is this for?
Golfers seeking a flexible, accessible venue in the Bristol area, societies and groups wanting straightforward golf with on-site accommodation, and anyone who wants straightforward pay-and-play golf with a range to warm up on and a par-3 course that's great for learners or sharpening wedges.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-high handicappers who want a genuine challenge on the Marlwood Course, beginners building confidence on the par-3 layout, and groups organising multi-day trips or events with golf, dining and lodging all in one place.

Thornbury boasts two superb private parkland golf courses with the 18 hole, par 71 (6308 yard) Marlwood Course and 18 hole par 54 (2195 yard) Severn View Course. Both courses are maintained to the same high quality and are popular with golfers of all abilities.
The beautifully designed Marlwood Course surrounded by breathtaking views of the Cotswold hills, offers a challenging and exciting round for golfers of all abilities to enjoy. At 6308 yards the Marlwood Course will test every part of your game. A unique hole is the picturesque 17th where a wayward tee shot is likely to find one of the lakes either side of the fairway.
| White | 6,284 yards | SSS 70.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | 5,882 yards | SSS 68.5 |
| Red | 5,337 yards | SSS 70.7 |
If time is of the essence, tee up on the excellent 18 hole par 54 Severn View Course, where you will experience magnificent views of the Severn Estuary. This challenging and fun short course can be played in under 2 hours and is a great way to improve your short game.
Thornbury Golf Centre offers a variety of coaching options for every type of golfer, from complete beginner to seasoned professional. Thornbury’s fantastic driving range and teaching facilities makes it the perfect venue for any person to learn and develop as a golfer. Thornbury offers a free 'Learn Golf' taster lesson so there is no reason not to try the game. They offer coaching seven days a week and advanced bookings are available to ensure you get the booking that best suites you.
Thornbury Lodge occupies a listed farmhouse dating back to the mid-1500s in the heart of the ancient market town of Thornbury. Step through the heavy oak door and the building's long history gives way to AA four-star guest accommodation firmly rooted in modern comfort. The property has served various roles over the centuries, but today it functions as a golfer-friendly base with 11 individually styled rooms designed for rest and recovery after a day on the course.
Each room balances character with practicality. Expect flat-screen televisions, tea and coffee-making facilities, complimentary toiletries, crisp white linen and generous bath towels as standard. Some rooms sleep up to four guests using z-beds, making them ideal for families or small groups, while double rooms feature king-sized beds and twin configurations cater to friends or colleagues sharing. The overriding theme is relaxation, with thoughtful touches throughout to help guests unwind properly at the end of a long round or a busy day.
Private dining can be arranged on-site for groups or special occasions, though this needs to be requested at the time of booking to ensure availability. The Lodge's proximity to both courses means golfers can walk to the first tee in minutes, while the function rooms and dining facilities offer a convenient spot for post-round meals, society dinners or informal gatherings without needing to venture off-site.
For golfers combining a break with sightseeing, Thornbury town centre sits within easy reach, offering independent shops, pubs and restaurants in a historic setting. The M5 motorway provides straightforward access to Bath, the Cotswolds and the Severn Estuary, making the Lodge a practical base for exploring the wider region between rounds. The blend of period charm, modern amenities and direct access to golf makes Thornbury Lodge a solid choice for groups wanting simplicity and value in one package.

For the money ,the hotel is fine.The facilities were adequate. The restaurant closed early meaning we had to eat elsewhere, some considerable distance away. A missed opportunity.

The Marshall was right on the ball . The fairways and greens were good. The tees were showing wear. The bunkers were terrible.

The fairways and greens were very good. However the tees were awful, there is no other way to describe them. The bunkers were variable with many having very little sand.

Day ruined by the rain. Again some had played there before but the course was spoilt by waterlogged greens and very wet fairways. Most only managed 9 holes. Club house facilities were however good and appreciated.
