Mendip Spring Golf & Country Club (Brinsea)
Designed by Terry Murray, the 27-hole golf complex at Mendip Spring Golf & Country Club lies in Wrington Vale, with views towards the Mendip Hills in one direction and to the Brecon Beacons in the other.
The 9-hole Lakeside course appeared in 1991, with the championship-standard 18-hole Brinsea layout arriving a year later.
Today, the Brinsea measures 6,412 yards from the back tees, playing to a par of 72, with holes arranged as two returning nines. Water hazards (in the shape of ponds and streams) come into play at more than half the holes on the card.
Highlights include the narrow par five 7th (“Herons Nest”) and long par four 11th (“Kinheil”), with water channels on either side of these holes connected by a ditch across the fairways. The short par three 18th (“Goughs Grin”) is another notable hole, where water to the front and sand to the rear protect par at the home green.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
