Somerset's hidden gem golf courses

Somerset does not get mentioned in the same breath as Cornwall or Devon, and green fees reflect that, which is good news for a group watching the budget without wanting to watch the course quality drop.

Burnham and Berrow

The standout course in the county, a genuine links test on the Bristol Channel with a reputation that quietly exceeds its profile. If a Somerset trip only has time for one serious round, this is it.

Enmore Park

Parkland golf in the shadow of the Quantock Hills, a gentler round than Burnham and Berrow and a good way to break up a trip that has had a heavier links day already.

Long Sutton

Set in the Somerset Levels, Long Sutton is a relaxed, well kept course that suits a group looking for an easy final round before the drive home. Not a course that will end up in anyone's top ten, but a genuinely enjoyable way to close out a trip.

The value case for Somerset

Lower green fees and lower hotel rates than Cornwall or Devon mean a Somerset trip often costs meaningfully less for a similar standard of golf. Worth building into the plan if budget matters as much as the course itself.
