Weston-super-Mare Golf Club

Rolling greens stretch between Weston-super-Mare and the coast, where this proper seaside golf course catches the Somerset winds off the Bristol Channel. The links-style layout puts up a decent fight, especially when the breeze picks up - which it usually does.

Golfers looking for something more testing than your average holiday course will find plenty to think about here. The coastal position means conditions change quickly, and what feels like an easy approach shot can turn tricky when the wind swirls. It's well-maintained and the views across to Wales on a clear day are lovely.

Families staying at nearby parks like Warren Farm Holiday Centre or Golden Sands Holiday Park will find this a proper escape for keen golfers in the group. Non-golfers might prefer the beach at Burnham-on-Sea, just down the road. The course isn't going to trouble scratch players, but holiday hackers will enjoy the challenge without feeling completely out of their depth.

Best to ring ahead for tee times, particularly in summer when the holiday parks are full. Allow four hours for a round - the pace can slow with visiting players still finding their sea legs. Worth combining with a day trip to Burnham-on-Sea's lighthouse or a family outing to nearby Brean Theme Park.
