Frequently Asked Questions
Which course should I play at Yeovil Golf Club, the Old Course or the Newton Course?
You'll find the Old Course, a Par 71, offers a more traditional challenge with its mature trees and classic layout, demanding precise shot-making. If you're looking for something a bit quicker or are newer to the game, the Par 68 Newton Course is fantastic for honing your short game and enjoying a more relaxed round. We recommend playing both if time allows to experience the full range Yeovil offers.
When is the best time of year to visit Yeovil Golf Club for optimal playing conditions?
We always suggest late spring through early autumn (May to September) for the best experience at Yeovil. The English weather is usually at its most cooperative then, meaning drier fairways and consistent greens. You'll avoid the heavier winter conditions and enjoy longer daylight hours for those extra rounds.
What kind of golf challenge can I expect at Yeovil, and is it suitable for all handicaps?
Absolutely, Yeovil caters well to various handicaps, but don't underestimate either course. The Old Course, with its subtle undulations and well-placed bunkers, will test your strategy, while the Newton Course, though shorter, still demands accuracy, especially around its smaller greens. You'll find both offer a fair but engaging test of your game.
What's the typical cost for a round at Yeovil Golf Club, and is it good value?
Green fees at Yeovil are generally very reasonable, especially considering you have two distinct 18-hole courses to choose from. You can expect to pay anywhere from £30-£50 for a visitor round, depending on the season and day of the week. We think it offers excellent value for a well-maintained English club with such diverse playing options.
Are there any specific holes or features at Yeovil Golf Club that stand out?
On the Old Course, keep an eye out for the challenging par-3 12th, which often plays tougher than its yardage suggests, demanding a precise iron shot over a dip. The Newton Course, while shorter, has some delightful par-3s and tricky doglegs that require thoughtful club selection. You'll appreciate the mature parkland setting throughout both courses.
