Frequently Asked Questions
Is Somerset a good golf destination?
Let's be direct - if you're coming to Somerset solely for golf, you'll be disappointed. There are no golf courses within the region itself, which makes it unique among English counties. However, don't write it off entirely; it's a fantastic base for exploring the West Country, with stunning landscapes and historic sites.
Where can I play golf near Somerset?
While Somerset itself is golf-free, you're not far from some excellent tracks. We recommend heading west into Devon or east towards Wiltshire for your fix. Coastal courses like Saunton Sands in North Devon or the heathland challenges around Salisbury are within a reasonable drive, offering a great day out if you're willing to travel.
What else is there to do in Somerset if I'm not golfing?
Honestly, Somerset shines when you put the clubs away. You'll find incredible history at Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury Abbey, or explore the dramatic Cheddar Gorge. We love the local cider farms and the vibrant food scene; it's a perfect place for a relaxed trip focused on culture and culinary delights.
When is the best time to visit Somerset for a golf trip?
Given there are no golf courses in Somerset, there isn't a 'best time' for a golf trip here. However, if you're visiting for its other charms, late spring to early autumn (May-September) offers the best weather. You'll enjoy the countryside at its greenest and the local festivals are in full swing, making it ideal for exploring the historic towns and natural beauty.
What kind of golf courses will I find in Somerset?
To be absolutely clear, you won't find any golf courses within Somerset's borders. It's one of the few English counties where the landscape hasn't been shaped by fairways and greens. This means you get an unspoiled rural experience, perfect for hiking, exploring ancient sites, or simply enjoying the quiet West Country charm without the distraction of a tee time.
