Reviewed Aug 21 2021 by Simon N - rated 3 out of 5 I would recommend that any one coming to vivary park does not come thinking that it is easy because of the length of the course It is a testing course that requires you to be very accurate due to the narrowness of the fairways and unlimited trees that line them

For someone returning to golf after a long break (30+yrs) l found Vivary Park a good course, which suited me, as I?d categorise me as a beginner again. The receptionist was very helpful and welcoming, as were the players on course when l missed the sign directing you from the fourth green to the fifth teeCourse (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jan 19 2019 by Edd Llandudno - rated 4 out of 5 Vivary Golf Course is an excellent find, based in the actual town center of Taunton, its course is tight and suits the med/low handicapper, however if you want a challenge, the vast amount of trees offer this in heaps. all in all a great location, good course and very good and reasonable priced bar food and drinks.

A good course in the middle of the town, very tight tree lined course. Spoilt only by being held up by a group of ladies who had no intention of letting a faster group play through. We ended up sitting down waiting a good 5 mins or more with 2 other groups waiting behind us. Perhaps someone could have a word and explain the letting through rule to them(Round played: Jul 2018 - Score: 92 Handicap: 23.2)

Course was not particularly well maintained - fairways looked like they hadn?t seen a mower in a while.Quite short, albeit tight - if you?re confident with your long irons though shouldn?t be much of a challenge. The two par 5s are very reachable in 2.
Greens are reasonably interesting however, although not very fast.
