Things to do in Somerset

Somerset’s limestone landscape rises into the Mendip Hills, an AONB beloved by Thomas Hardy. Mendip Spring golf and Country Club features stunning views of the Mendip Hills, which are sprinkled with caves and potholes. This 9 hole course is a fab place for beginners to play, or simply for a snappy game if you’re in a rush, yet is challenging enough, with lakes and a magnificent orchard. It’s the perfect place to test out a new Callaway rescue club, without breaking the bank (or your new club!).

If you have a higher handicap, or just prefer a full 18 holes, head to Orchardleigh Golf Club in Frome, a true delight nestled near the Mendips. The course benefits from Frome’s mild climate and the conveniences of the local town, as well as being near the wild hinterlands of Mendip. Boutique accommodation providers like the Archangel in Frome offer elegant rooms within traditional, old fashioned buildings, which are perfect for couples taking a well deserved golf break.
