Bath - Somerset - England

Surprisingly enjoyable having arrived in a 'steep' car park and with a defibrilator outside the pro shop and with the club house the lowest point on the course. However once you have scaled the short par 4 first it all pretty much levels out and is a very nice layout with some interesting holes. Also considering the height and exposure it is surprising how well the grass has survived unlike many other courses. Well worth a visit. 23/4/19 course no 390

Played in Bath Easter open hoping to judge for myself the second best course in Somerset. Welcome was good. Food was ok. Range had possibly the worst range balls ever. Course condition was poor, with worst competition greens I can recall playing on for a while; they were hard and bumpy and in dire need of water and growth. The course itself I found fairly average. There are a few nice holes with some fairly bland ones in between, and this did little to lift the gloom of having to putt at the end of the hole. The short par 4 dog-leg 17th was probably the most interesting hole, but this is swiftly followed by an uninspiring downhill 18th. The condition of the greens makes me think of a two ball rating, but in fairness I have played Bath before and they have been fine. I think in reality Bath is an average course (ie. not poor, but not any better than a lot of others), and perhaps it's ranking in Somerset is a reflection on Somerset courses in general.

Possibly the most enjoyable inland course in the South West of England, certainly the best course in the Bath/Bristol area by a long way. Always great condition and typical Colt design everywhere. I know recently they thought about changing the course around a but, I saw the plans in the clubhouse. They've changed their minds thankfully. Bath Golf Club is perfect as it is.

Used to be a member here in the 90s when I was working in Bristol and living in Bath. It's a classic tradional members club where you need to be accurate rather than long. I'm a bit biased but I love it and miss the views over the town and will always havea soft spot for Bath GC.
