Mendip Golf Club

What Mendip Golf Club does

Mendip Golf Club is a private members' golf club located in Gurney Slade, Somerset, United Kingdom, founded in 1908 as a 9-hole course and continuously developed into an 18-hole, Par 71 layout of 6,381 yards on downland turf. The club serves individual golfers, societies/groups, corporate members, and dedicated junior, senior, and women-in-golf participants, offering reciprocal playing rights with other Somerset courses as part of membership.

The club's product portfolio is built around a single integrated service stack: course access (membership subscriptions and visitor green fees at £40-£120 per group), professional services (The Mendip Golf Studio, lessons, and The Pro Shop), practice and coaching (Driving Range & Golf Academy), event revenue (Open Competitions 2026 including Seniors Mendip Vase, Mendip Vase 4BBB, and Autumn Open Texas Scramble), and clubhouse hospitality (catering and meeting room hire). The club runs on the intelligentgolf v10.1.2 platform, which powers the website, online tee-time booking, competition signup, member login, World Handicap System (WHS) calculations, and scoring analytics across Par 3/4/5.

Revenue is generated through a diversified mix: recurring membership subscriptions (Full, Age Group, Lifestyle, Corporate), one-time green fees and competition entry fees, Pro Shop retail, professional lessons, and clubhouse catering/events. Go-to-market is event-driven (open competitions and society/group bookings) combined with community-led programming (Women In Golf, Juniors, Seniors), supported by a website-centric booking experience, TripAdvisor social proof, and affiliations with England Golf, SafeGolf, and the Somerset Golf Union. The company is privately held and member-owned, with no disclosed parent company, investors, or executive team beyond a general secretary contact point.
