Sad
Played a few times in early 2000s, I remember a lovely manicured course with character, the fast pure ,tricky greens and perfect fairways.Fist thing I noticed was the complete destruction of all the trees that surrounded the first tee, complete loss of character and ruined what was a lovely first tee setting.
This theme continued with the course looking bare, with most of removal of hedgerows and many trees.
The fairways that i remember being almost springy and some of the best I’ve ever played on even in winter now seemed know no different than any course (very wet).
The trend continued for the worse, with spongy and terribly slow greens and to top it all off a very strange set of new holes, the new 17th was a horrible hole, replacing what I remember as a lovely elevated par 3.
All in all a disappointing day,rounded off by unhelpful miserable bar staff.
I hope this course can get back to former glory’s as it’s a shadow of what I remember, a perfect example of how a change is not always for the better!
I’d like to go back in summer to give it a chance, but the good winter course I remember is now a thing of the past.

The Best golf course in North Somerset
Really challenging members golf course on top of The Mendip Hills at Gurney Slade off the A37. Beautiful undulating, springy, fabulous heathland fairways with tremendous views over the Vale of Avalon, Glastonbury Tor and the Bristol Channel. After a lot of hard work after the difficult winter of 17/18, the course has been in fabulous condition over the very hot summer and now through the autumn and into winter. The greens are a real challenge in the summer with their speed and slopes, and remain open in the winter unless there is a heavy frost. No winter tees here either. Great combination of exercise, views and challenging golf make days here a great experience to warm the heart. The Pro Team, led by Stuart Disney is great and the clubhouse and members very friendly and welcoming. Enjoy.Reviewer Rating

Fabulous course, fabulous views
I last played this course perhaps 15 years ago and I had completely forgotten what a fantastic course it is. The views all round are stunning; the Somerset levels, the Mendips, North Devon, Wales....The course is demanding with plants of hidden dangers even on some of the wider fairways.
A friendly welcome and thoroughly recommended.

The course was in great condition, with springy fairways and receptive greens. However, unfortunately today the greens had recently been hollow tined and sanded. That said once the early morning moisture had gone, they still ran true and at a reasonable pace. A shame because I have played here before and the greens were very fast, tricky and testing (this is why I have only rated the course V. Good not excellent, for today).
If you ever find yourself looking for a game in Somerset and the sun is shining this course cannot really be bettered in my opinion. If the weather is a bit on the dodgy side though you will quite often find yourself playing in cloud and mist due to the altitude. Speaking to a couple of members after the round, they do go out whatever the conditions, the course only closing when deep snow prevents play!
This is a fantastic golf course and well worth a visit if you get a chance. No tee times are booked, so it is worth ringing to see if any competitions are on beforehand, and to get an idea of the best time to arrive so as to avoid any members groups. Great value too, we paid £20 each and after arriving at the suggested time of 0830 had a free run at the whole course with only a four ball behind for company.
