Celebrating it's Centenary in 2008, Worlebury Golf Club was founded by Henry Butt, a local philanthropist, with a group of like minded prominent businessmen. Though initially for their own enjoyment, they kindly donated their shares, making it into a Members Club in 1972. It is now one of a few Golf Clubs in the area that owns its own course and clubhouse.
Situated on Worlebury hill, it lies between the M5 junction 21 (2 miles away) and the seaside town of Weston super Mare. Its location affords stunning views overlooking the Severn Estuary, Wales and The Mendips. At the far end of the course is the old Observatory which was converted from a Windmill in the 1870’s.
The course was one of a number designed by Harry Vardon (winner of 7 major championships) and his brother Alfred, who was the club professional for 16 years.
The well manicured 5850 yard par 70 parkland course flows through several, slightly undulating, walled and tree lined fields. It has an excellent mix of holes providing a challenge to the lower handicapper, without intimidating the less proficient golfer. Good course management skills will be needed to assure a respectable score, which is reflected in the present course record of 66. Its non demanding terrain makes it a pleasure to play for visiting golfers of all ages.
This year to commemorate its Centenary, Worlebury is holding a week of Open Competitions in July. Also Weston Week is held during the first full week of September, in conjunction with Weston super Mare Golf Club. Details of the Open Competitions are posted on the Web site notice board or, the Club Secretary will provide you with further information on these events. As well as catering for some well established corporate, society and charity days, the Club welcomes new societies and the casual visitor to celebrate our Centenary Year.
Worlebury has both a golfing and a social membership available. These give access to the clubs facilities, entertainment and discounted prices on food and drink. Visit the membership page for fees and more information on the various activities and sections within the club.
