Clevedon

Situated on the cliff-tops overlooking the Severn Estuary, a mere 15-minute drive from Bristol, the course at Clevedon Golf Club was brought into play in 1898, just seven years after the club was formed.

Design credit for the 18-hole layout is attributed to J.H. Taylor and the course remained largely untouched until the early 1990s, when a couple of par threes were among holes replaced by five new ones, increasing the par from 68 to 72.

The old 5,641-yard course has been increased to 6,557 yards and this additional length, along with the construction of USGA-specification greens, has totally transformed the layout to ensure it’s capable of meeting modern-day golfing demands.

Feature holes include the 348-yard 8th (The Castle Hole”) with the tee positioned 200 feet above the fairway, requiring a 130-yard carry over thick vegetation to the fairway below – admire the views towards the islands of Flat Holm and Step Holm before letting fly.
