THE COURSES
KENDLESHIRE GOLF CLUB
We set out to make The Kendleshire the most welcoming, most inclusive and most friendly golf club you could visit.
And we want you to go away from the course thinking “wow” – every time.
Golf bookings 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.
Tee times run at 8-minute intervals through the day, each 9-hole course will generally take two hours to play, and reservations are essential as we’re a busy venue!
Please note: we are a ‘soft spike’ golf course and shoes with metal spikes/studs are not permitted.
WE WILL BE PLAYING HOLLOWS (Front 9) AND THEN RUFFET (Back 9)

THE PLAYERS COURSES
Situated just one mile from junction 18 of the M4 (Bristol/Bath) on the outskirts of Bristol bordering Wiltshire and Gloucestershire ‘The Players Club’ is dedicated to the game of golf. With two 18 hole courses, a 9 hole Par 3 course and together with first class practice facilities it has become home to many golf professionals competing on the European tours. We have staged 9 SKY televised Europro events, 12 Stage 1 Europro Q School, 7 West Region PGA championships and 3 English Over 48s championship as well as regional finals for many top amateur and professional events. In 2022 we will host stage 1 of the European Tour Q-School for the third time. The club opened in 2002 and was quickly ranked 113 in the Golf World 2006 ‘Best Courses in Great Britain and Ireland’.
All the courses have been built to the finest specifications with USGA greens, fairway irrigation and a rich landscape with woodland, lakes and gorse all coming into play. The courses are designed by Adrian Stiff who also designed highly rated neighbours Cumberwell Park and The Kendleshire. It’s flagship Codrington course, is designed to test you, thrill you and frustrate in equal measure, with the Stranahan course requiring positional play and is ideal for higher handicappers, ladies and seniors. If you like to practice in addition to a 9 hole par 3 course we have a 300 yard range with 40,000 squared metres of teeing grassed teeing area. Short game area, 4 practice putting greens and a ‘Repeater’ facility to test you repeat performance with the wedge.
Stranahan Course
Par 68 5457 yds White Tees
The Stranahan course opened in May 2010 and presents a very different prospect to the 13_2golfer 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. The greens are built to USGA standards and are 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. The official best score is 60 by Gordon Brand jnr though he has scored a 59 in a friendly.
Condrington Course
Par 72 6611 yds White Tees
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 6625 yards. With a par of 72 and a SSS of 73 the Codrington offers a true test for any level of golfer and is a venue for over 150 professional members.Eighteenth-8 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 Britian and Ireland’. A new course record of 63 was set during the 2009 Euro Pro Motocaddy Masters by Matthew Ford with the course playing 7045yd
