Kendleshire
A course of two halves. You have a choice of combining our three 9-hole courses – Hollows, Ruffet & Badminton. Each offer a brilliant test of golf with a fair share of water hazards and memorable holes.
Codrington
The Codrington Course was opened in 2002 and since then has developed the reputation of being one of the toughest courses in the South-West.
From the back tees the course stretches to 7106 yards (SSS 75), however from the medal tees measures 6611 yards. With a par of 72 and a SSS of 73 the Codrington offers a true test for any level of golfer and is the venue for stage 1 Q School of the DP World Tour.
The course has been framed amongst woodland combining an eclectic blend of modern and links style design with numerous bunkers and lakes coming into play on almost every hole which only further adds to the exciting character of the course.
The greens have been built to USGA standard with many testing contours and undulations. The course was ranked 113 by Golf World in 2006, ‘Best Courses in Great Britain and Ireland’. A new course record of 63 was set during the 2009 Euro Pro Motocaddy Masters by Matthew Ford with the course playing 7045yds.
Stranahan
The Stranahan course opened in May 2010 and presents a very different prospect to the golfer than it’s elder brother the Codrington.
At around 5500 yards and a 67 standard scratch the Stranahan is much more golfer friendly, but it will still offer a challenge to the experienced player with shot placement and good putting important factors in making a good score.
With greens built to USGA standards and full of both subtle and severe breaks, the course is minimal in bunkering and not much water save that of the 1st, however creative contouring and undulations are testing obstacles in there own right.
The Stranahan is rare as it is in a small group of golf courses that start and end with a par 3.
With 3 Par 5s and 7 short holes we should see a welcome return to the 3 hour round, modest players may break 80 and great players may test 60.
