Mendip is a challenging course but fair. Greens are always in good condition although the slopes on the 5th,10th,11th and 15th are tricky, you need to play here a few times to master them. The fairways are a springy downland turf and a pleasure to play off, although as the course is quite hilly you'll have the ball above or below your feet at times. A good experience all round.

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.

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.

Recently played this course after visiting a number of years ago. I arrived to a quite apologetic professional shop, which I remember being excellent, but now in sale awaiting a new professional. \Myself and a friend tee\'d off on an early spring day and I could not believe this was the same course I had played before. Fairways were strewn with unreplaced divots, patchy muddy rough and ropes everywhere. The greens here used to be excellent, they are now uncut, bumpy and looked to be very diseased with lots of discolouration and a tinge of yellow. \There are some great holes on this course so the condition is a real shame, but also lots of bunkers, rough and trees seem to have been removed reducing the look of the course. \Post round I discovered the long standing green keeper had been replaced and since standards appear to have dropped. Food was also expensive and not that great. \I hope this course returns to its prior self as it is a good track with wonderful views that I enjoyed as long as I didn\'t look down

The Mendip is a lovely course with great fairways and quit tricky greens. It's also very hilly, so the scorecard doesn't really reflect the difficulty of some of the holes. For example, the first two go straight up the hill and play much longer than the card suggests. Their golf trolleys even have brakes to stop them rolling away, which would happen on most of the holes.
A very friendly course with helpful staff and at a reasonable price for visitors.

Playing on a beautiful clear sunny day, there cannot be many courses in the UK that can boast more spectacular views than The Mendip Golf Course in Somerset. The highest point is 1000ft above sea level and all the surrounding countryside is laid out before you in breathtaking beauty.

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.

An interesting challenge with 3 par 3s, 13 par 4s & 2 par 5s.

Friendly clubhouse with good food & full bar.
