Good course but very tight in places could be affected by bad weather. Despite this provides an interesting round with great views.(Round played: Jun 2018 - Score: 105 Handicap: 26.9)

Good course
Decent course with a good variety of holes. The longer hitter probably had the advantaged on this course because there is room for error but there are odd holes where tactical play might be king with large trees getting in the way if you hit the wrong part of the fairway. There are a number of greens which have been elevated so finding the pin can be tricky and the bunkers are compacted.Greens and fairways in excellent condition ball cleaners and bins throughout the course and the course is fairly easy walking until the walk between the 17th and 18th holes which is quite steep but is a concrete path. The views are similar to what you get at Thornbury golf course up the road but you’re exposed to them a little more.
Good course wouldn’t pay full money of over £28 for a round though after 4pm £17 seems reasonable. £1.40 for a bottle of water is a bit of a rip off considering you can by a pint of quality cider for £2 in tesco...

Few holes where still a bit boggy, once dried out this will be a good course. Some very challenging holes, chance to get the driver out a lot, is open in places.

Decent enough course. Really enjoyed the layout. The par 3's were a lot of fun with the water features. Was very muddy though. Don't bother going in winter, the drainage is MUCH better on other Bristol courses.

The Bristol golf club course provided an interesting round. First of all as all my reviews I start with the simple stuff. There are plenty of bins and ball cleaners around this club to keep most players happy. Two moans I will have though is the new yardage markers, I don’t understand why the new yardage markers are discs on the fairway and not stakes/posts next to the fairway. You have to be on top of them to see the marker. A stake/post you can see from 100s of yards away, surely it would speed up play if the golfers don’t have to hunt yardage markers? My second moan is that signage from the green to the next tee could be slightly better as we found ourselves having to refer to the course map on the card, which again slows play down.
This is a lovely course which is challenging for most golfers but not daunting for the average to high handicapper as the hazards are quite minor. There is a nice variety of short and long holes for their par and a mix of par3,4 and 5s. A couple of holes require you to hit over water which always makes it a little more exciting but you don’t feel like you’re always having to avoid. The first two holes play ontop of the hill looking over the Severn estuary, a similar view can be found at Thornbury golf course up the road and Stinchcombe Hill further up the river again. On the third hole you drop down the hill to play amongst some mature “woodland” which makes some local courses look immature. I was lucky to play in October when the leaves were turning which made the area look rather spectacular in the drizzle. The greens are well maintained for the time of year and the fairways are outstanding. The bunkers were compacted from the nights rain which made them a little painful at times to play out form. But considering the rain the course was very firm under foot.
I got a good deal using teeofftimes to play this course as normally the course is out of my budget. Although this is a lovely course with interesting holes and beautiful scenery I wouldn’t pay £30 a round as advertised on their web site. When there are other courses of similar quality in the area. However if you get a good deal it is certainly worth a nock. If you are local and used to playing Thornbury golf course and Woodlands, I would highly recommend you try Bristol golf club when the opportunity arrives.

Not a bad course but the atmosphere in the club does seem to fall very flat and that does seem to be a problem with wanting to return again.

Plenty of practice facilities on offer and even a 9 hole footgolf course! Superb views on the first couple of holes across the severn to Wales. Whilst drainage can be an issue here, they always seem to be working hard to improve the course. Particularly happy with back to back birdies on 9
