GOLF COURSE
Mendip Spring Golf Club, 10 minutes drive from Swiss View just outside of the lovely town of Congresbury, opened its doors to golfers in 1991, and is now in its 13th year. It is a public pay and play course but to dismay it because of its municipal status would be hugely foolish indeed. It benefits from a fabulous setting, on some luscious parkland turf that is well maintained and manicured by the greenkeeping staff. With a whole host of hazards, particularly, the narrow fairways, well guarded pacy greens, and strategically placed bunkers, it will test every aspect of your game.
If you don't feel up to the challenge of the main course, then there are plenty of practice facilities around to hone your game
