Courses – Wells – The Mendip

Rated in the top 150 courses in the British Isles,  Mendip is a superbly designed Members’ golf course open to visitors with magnificent views in a tranquil setting.  From its early beginnings as a 9 hole course in 1908 it has been continuously improved into the superb 18 hole course it is today.  With its fairways of springy download turf, this Par 71 challenging course is a joy to walk and play. Located on the north facing slope of the Mendips at an elevation of almost 1,000ft, the Mendip Golf Club is a challenging par 71 course, measuring 6383 yards from the white tees and suitable for golfers of all abilities.

Wells’ woodland course is designed on two levels, Holes 2 to 11 circle the hills and have fine scenic views with undulating fairways and some interesting lies. The 12th Hole, from its elevated tee, is played down to a double green in front of the Clubhouse. It is a short dog-leg par 4 which can be driven by the longest hitters. The remainder of the holes play along the valley where accurate drives are essential. The 13th Hole is a difficult par 5 with ditches crossing the fairway in two locations. The second shot must be positioned with care.
