How challenging is Highbullen Golf Course for a mid-handicapper?

Highbullen offers a delightful challenge without being overly punishing.

It's a course that rewards precision over raw power, making it incredibly satisfying for those who enjoy strategic golf.

We always recommend visiting Highbullen between late spring and early autumn-think May through September-to catch the course at its absolute best. The greens are typically faster, the fairways firmer, and you'll enjoy the longer daylight hours and generally milder English weather, though a light waterproof is always a smart addition to your bag.

You'll be treated to rolling hills, lush valleys, and glimpses of the Exmoor National Park in the distance, making every tee box feel like a postcard moment. It's a beautiful distraction, so try not to let the scenery ruin your score!

Are there any signature holes or unique features at Highbullen I should look out for?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 14th-it's a real stunner and a genuine test. Playing downhill to a green guarded by water and mature trees, it demands a precise iron shot, and a par here feels like a birdie. The course also features some ancient oak trees that are beautifully integrated into the layout, adding character and strategic challenges.
