Established in 1892, Weston-Super-Mare Golf Course offers a traditional links golf with wide fairways with views across The English Channel. Designed by Alistair MacKenzie, the course relies on wind to defend itself, on a calm, sunny day it can be a relatively easy test but when the wind picks up your ability to keep the ball under the wind and use the natural undulations to find the fairways and greens and avoiding the well-placed bunkers.

Located within 45 minutes of Bristol city centre, a round here is popular as part of a Bristol golf break for those seeking a bit of links golf.
