Welcome to Taunton & Pickeridge Golf Club Taunton & Pickeridge Golf Club, founded in 1892, is the only members club in Taunton and offers a wide option of membership categories. The club is set on Pickeridge Hill in the Blackdowns, only five miles away from Taunton in Somerset.
We take pride in being a members’ club that wants you to come and enjoy the course and facilities that we have to offer, whether you’re a golfer or someone looking for that memorable location for your special occasion.
We offer many “value-added” incentives to our members including reciprocal golf at other clubs and free tickets to Somerset County Cricket Club and Taunton Rugby Football Club.
Our 18-hole golf course, par 69 for the men, has won rave reviews and is widely regarded as one of the best in the county. It provides a challenging test which rewards the brave while encouraging the less adventurous and thus makes it an equally thrilling experience for a scratch player while at the same time being ideal for a golf society of all standards.
We are also champions of junior golf, with some excellent coaching and are GolfMark accredited, meaning that parents can be reassured our club is ‘junior and beginner friendly.’
The clubhouse, overlooking the 18th green, makes the ideal location to unwind and relax after a match or perfect for those special events such as weddings, birthday or for a relaxing Sunday lunch.
Whatever your reason for coming to Taunton & Pickeridge, we will ensure the welcome is warm and that your stay with us is a truly memorable one.

Club History
Pickeridge Golf Club was formed in 1892 – it became Taunton and Pickeridge Golf Club some 54 years later - on agricultural land that had been used for lime workings.
Today there is still evidence of these workings in the form of two lime kilns, one of which is used for the 5th tee. There were originally five kilns and the courses with its interesting undulations are a direct result of these workings.
The original founding members were Frank Newton, his younger brother Arthur, The Revd Crump (The vicar of Corfe), Captain Charles Fox and his daughter the Hon Mrs Lindley, T Almond, WH Fowler and A Rodwell.
The land was part of the Barton Grange estate, which was owned by the Newton family, and whilst the total acreage now stands at around 107 acres, the original area extended to a little over 80 acres.
The membership did increase but was limited to a small number of friends and in 1904 Captain Fox – who had taken on the mantle of Hon Secretary – persuaded the existing membership that it needed increasing as costs were rising!
The original nine-hole course was laid out by William Herbert Fowler, a very interesting man with local connections who was to become a world-renowned golf course architect.
No advertisements in the Press appeared – not surprisingly – and it is thought a selective approach was used. More than 100 accepted and this figure has steadily increased over the years to the present day figure of some 650 full members.
Amongst his many designs were Walton Heath and the Berkshire (the Red Course). It is thought that Pickeridge was one of his earliest works. In 1925 the course was extended to 18 holes and incorporated his original layout.

| www.tauntongolf.co.uk
Originally there was no clubhouse, but a small hut was built to provide some shelter with access to the course by a pathway through the woods from Corfe. This hut increased in size and in 1931 the first proper clubhouse was constructed. Also at that time, the Professional Jack Lane was provided with a building; this structure still remains today and is now used as the Halfway House. The original clubhouse and Professional`s shop were located below the 7th hole. The building was improved over the years but unfortunately it was destroyed by fire in 1961. It was re-sited to its current position and improved very substantially by additions, the most significant being in 1997 which more than doubled the size of the clubhouse and improved the facilities available.
In 1965 the club purchased the land that now occupies the first three holes. A new course was laid out and a new clubhouse constructed. Following a special meeting held at Queens College in 1987 the membership finally agreed to purchase all the land and the sale was completed in the following year with the result that the club now owns the course. Perhaps the greatest changes on the course, since 1965, apart from the construction of the ponds on the 17th, have been in very recent years to the layout with the 10th, 11th, 12th and 16th holes being substantially altered with the establishment of new greens on the latter two holes. It is the club’s policy to continue to make improvement.

Our Course
At Taunton & Pickeridge, we provide the perfect blend of competitive or social golf whatever your standard. From our very strong junior section to our active and competitive Ladies and Senior sections, members enjoy great golf on a quality course.
A reviewer from Today’s Golfer magazine awarded our course 4.5 out of 5 stars, meaning it received that highly-regarded publication’s highest mark for any course in the South West.
A state-of-the-art computer controlled irrigation system was recently installed to keep greens, approaches and tees in excellent condition in dry periods.
In recent years T&P has played host to the Somerset County Championships (2009), the Somerset Mid Amateur Championships (2010) and the Somerset Senior Championships (2011), as well as hosting a qualifying round of the PGA National 4BBB Championship.
Should your best golf game desert you, all is not lost. There are spectacular views to the East across Sedgemoor to Glastonbury Tor and the Mendips, to the West lie the Brendons and Exmoor, to the North the Vale of Taunton and the beautiful Quantocks and to the South the Blackdowns.
The undulating fairways and ever-changing wind conditions can make this a tough course, and the par of 69 for men and 72 for ladies is indeed a stern test. The greens are fast, particularly in the summer, but never anything but fair.

Tour the Course
If you have never played Taunton & Pickeridge before you are in for a treat. Make the most of your trip by learning about some of the pitfalls that lie in wait and how to avoid them as you follow our course tour courtesy of Simon Stevenson, our PGA Professional and Director of Golf.
Hole 1, 402 yards, par 4 A good drive down the left side of the fairway will give you the best angle to attack the flag. Anything short will bounce right where a greenside bunker awaits! Hole 2, 145 yards, par 3 First of the six par 3 holes normally played into the prevailing wind. Slightly downhill this hole plays about half a club less than the yardage indicates. Try to err on the short side of the pin as the green narrows at the back and going long will leave a very tricky up and down. Hole 3, 364 yards, par 4 Uphill tee shot, use your driver to try and get as much distance as possible to give you a better view of the green.
10 | www.tauntongolf.co.uk
Be aware with your second shot that the green tends to run away from you. Hole 4, 457 yards, par 4 The longest par 4 on the course that plays a little downhill. Try to hit the left side of the fairway off the tee as the fairway slopes from left to right. A wood or long iron second shot should favour the left side of the green as two bunkers await any mis-hits to the right. This green slopes from front to back so allow for a little extra release if landing on the front of the green.
Hole 5, 478 yards, par 5 A reachable par 5 if conditions are right – so go for it! A draw off the tee is the best shape for this slight right to left dogleg. If you are playing the hole as a “three shotter” then lay your second shot on the right side of the fairway to open up the green for a short third shot. Hole 6, 145 yards, par 3 A hole similar in length to the second but be aware that it is well sheltered by the surrounding trees, so take note of the wind direction from previous holes and take it into account. A small target but a good solid shot should reward you with a chance of an elusive 2!
Hole 7, 444 yards, par 4 Stroke index 1, with out of bounds up the left side of the hole. A slight right to left dogleg, but don’t be tempted to cut off too much of the corner as your second shot may be hindered by the trees. A tee shot up the right side of the fairway gives you a good angle into the green, be aware of the wind direction as the fairway is sheltered and the green relatively exposed. Hole 8, 177 yards, par 3 All the trouble is short on this hole so take enough club. The green slopes from front to back and is quicker that it looks so take care – take a 3 and run!

We do right by you
Tour the Course Continued...
Hole 9, 544 yards, par 5 The longest hole on the course and a fairway that resembles a traditional links course with plenty of humps and hollows. Try to leave your second shot on the left side of the fairway so your approach shot is up the length of the green. Be aware of a severe step at the front of the green that will catch any mis-hits. Hole 10, 199 yards, par 3 A strong par 3 with a tee shot to a small and undulating target. The bunker at the front of the green tends to make the hole look shorter than it is so take plenty of club and beware of three-putting this slippery green.
Hole 11, 433 yards, par 4 A slight dogleg left to right that favours a fade off the tee. You then have a classic risk/reward scenario – go for the green that is surrounded by trouble or lay up and try to pitch and putt for your par. Hole 12, 404 yards, par 4 A tough hole with no fairway bunkers but plenty of undulations that can kick your ball left or right. The left side of the fairway gives you the best line to attack the flag from where you will have a mid to long iron approach shot to a tricky green. Take a 4 and run!
www.tauntongolf.co.uk | 13
Tour the Course Continued...
Hole 13, 505 yards par 5 A great par 5 where you have to drive through a chute of trees to a fairway that is wider than it looks from the tee. The longer players may be able to reach in two if conditions are favourable but if not, lay up on the left side of the fairway to open up a short iron shot to a sloping and deceptive green. Hole 14, 233 yards, par 3 The longest par 3 on the course that has out of bounds down the left side and two large pits down the right side. A par is a great score on this hole, though the majority should play it as a short par four and try to get up and down for your 3.
14 | www.tauntongolf.co.uk
Hole 15, 285 yards, par 4 A short par 4 but with a 90-degree dogleg from right to left and out of bounds down the left to punish any player who gets greedy! A fairway wood tee shot should leave a mid to short iron to a very tricky green. Hole 16, 152 yards, par 3 This par three is sheltered at the tee and green so judging the wind can be tricky. Bunkers surround this green and out of bounds awaits any pulled shots, so favour the right side. A good tee shot should set up a real birdie opportunity as the green is relatively flat.
Hole 17, 429 yards, par 4 A long par 4 doglegging from right to left and at almost 90 degrees. A tee shot towards the flagpole at the clubhouse will leave a long second shot. The longest players can cut the corner but have to carry the ball about 250 yards over trees, OB and two ponds – therefore it is only for the brave! The fairway approaching the green slopes severely from right to left so allow for this on your approach.
Hole 18, 313 yards, par 4 A tricky, short par 4 finishing in front of the clubhouse. Try to hit your tee shot down the left side of the fairway as it slopes from left to right. Your second shot should be played in order to leave yourself an uphill putt if possible on this severely leftto-right sloping green.

Practice Facilities
Taunton & Pickeridge Golf Club is committed to offering its members all the facilities possible to enable members the chance to become as proficient at this great game of golf as their talent and application allows.
There are two grass practice areas adjacent to the course providing the opportunity to practise the full swing. One sits in between the 1st and the 3rd holes and allows members and guests to bring their own balls and hit off turf with any club in their bag up to driver. Another practice area of around 180 yards in length can be found close to the car park. Again, this has a turf teeing area, allowing for more accurate feedback of how the player is actually striking the ball. Here can also be found two covered teaching bays, which are ideal for inclement weather.
There is a nice large putting green immediately outside the clubhouse which helps golfers get a feel for the pace of the putting surfaces, which can run quite high on the Stimpmeter during the summer months. For those just looking for a quick warm-up before taking to the course, there are also three indoor practice nets.
The short game area is down to the left of the second practice area, around 90 yards long on to a three-tiered green which is cut and prepared to the same standard as the golf course. It also has a practice bunker and T&P also has second, recently-added, chipping green.

Tee-time competitions can be booked online or at the Pro Shop; they open for booking approximately 16 days before the competition and close at 9am on the day before the competition. There is a great deal of competitive golf to be enjoyed against other clubs, some of it serious, some of a more relaxed and social nature.

Ladies The Ladies Section offers a myriad of playing opportunities and meets every Tuesday morning. The variety of competitions organised range from Bowmakers, Greensomes, “Bloodsomes”, Match Play and Four-Ball Better Ball competitions. Medal and Stableford qualifying competitions are also organised right through the spring, summer and autumn months with qualifying Stablefords in the winter - weather permitting. The course is reserved for ladies only from 9.15am until 1.30pm each Tuesday. The Ladies Section is part of the Salver group and Silver and Bronze players meet Enmore & Minehead both at home and away commencing in March. Also, with regard to Wessex matches, Pickeridge ladies’ meet Burnham & Berrow, Enmore, Minehead and Yeovil every year.
The ladies are also part of the Inter Club League and play at home and away across the county against a variety of clubs depending on the division for that particular year. Twelve ladies’ friendly matches are organised, alternating annually between home and away, with fixtures against clubs from across Somerset, Dorset and Devon. These matches are always very friendly occasions, with the chance to socialise and catch up with old friends as eagerly anticipated as the opportunity to play golf itself. The same is also true of the seven mixed friendly matches which are enjoyed throughout the season. Many of the ladies also play in County matches and a team regularly enters the Rogers’ Cup. The Ladies’ Club Champion together with a bronze player take part in the Centenary Plate every year and Taunton & Pickeridge were the winners of this competition in 2011.

Seniors The Seniors are a very active group who play more than 40 home and away friendly matches against other clubs in Somerset and Devon between March and October. While it is always nice to be on the winning side, these are first and foremost about enjoying good company and having an enjoyable time and they afford the opportunity to play on some of the region’s other premier golf courses.
There are around half a dozen trophies available for the Seniors to enter throughout the year, sometimes with a convivial meal afterwards, as well as a Seniors Knockout Competition run throughout the summer. To become a member of the Seniors you must be 55 or over and pay the very modest additional annual subscription of ÂŁ4.
Many of these fixtures have been going for some time and quite a camaraderie built up between the clubs. Invariably excellent social occasions, a meal is often enjoyed after play. There is a monthly Turn Up and Play Qualifying Competition for the Seniors, which is normally played on the first Monday of each month. For the less competitive, it provides an extra opportunity to get the three qualifying cards required annually to maintain an active handicap.

Open Competitions
Taunton & Pickeridge is an historic golf club with a rich heritage dating back to the founding of our club in 1892. We know we have something special here and nothing gives us greater pleasure than to share the enjoyment of our magnificent course with people who may not have experienced it before.
One of the ways in which we can do this is by staging a number of open competitions spread throughout the season aimed at golfers from all walks of life and all abilities. We also have a very successful and well-supported PGA Pro-AM in July each year which regularly hosts one of the largest fields in the South West. The action generally starts with a Junior Open in mid-April for the under-18s, an individual medal competition. May is Seniors’ month, with the Senior Pairs Open being followed a week later by the Seniors Mixed Pairs Open.
At the end of September, the P.E.G. Smith Gents Individual Open is one of the highlights of the season. It is a 36-hole individual medal with a handicap limit of 12, which is one of the qualifying events for the county’s Sumara Salver Order of Merit title. You will find details of upcoming events on our website, www. tauntongolf.co.uk, together with information about how you can reserve your place.
The end of July sees a Mixed Pairs Open and early August brings the Team Open, a three-ball event and the Ladies Team Open, also for three visitors but where a T&P member makes up the fourth member of the group.

Taunton & Pickeridge supports golf’s unique diversity where players of all ages, gender and skills are able to play together.
Interaction between adults and juniors is essential in development which brings mutual respect. Juniors at the club are expected to embrace this concept, conduct themselves to the highest standards and remember that other players may not be as physically able as they are. Everyone is welcome to the Junior Club Nights which are held every Monday night in the summer season. Here we pass on all the skills required to enjoy the game of golf with instruction, training and weekly competitions for the CONGU players. Club nights give our younger and beginner Cub players a chance to move from coaching to going out on to the course with willing volunteers.

Visitors
Visitors are welcome at all times of year to come and enjoy the experience of playing on one of the best golf courses Somerset has to offer.
After your round take time to enjoy our renowned hospitality with some good honest home-cooked food along with a refreshing drink or two in our superbly-appointed clubhouse.
We are a fairly relaxed club, but we do ask visitors to respect our rules and standard golfing etiquette to ensure their visit runs as smoothly as possible.
We invite all our guests to make themselves at home and make it their home club for a day!
In common with other clubs we do insist on a minimum standard of smart casual dress at all times. Blue denim is not permitted and correct golf shoes must always be worn on the course.
In the less busy winter months in particular there are some outstanding deals to be had, while in the summer months those able to play later in the day are able to take advantage of special twilight rates. Please note that throughout the winter only member’s guests are permitted on a Saturday, and for the remainder of the year (from March to October) visitors may play after 2.30pm on Saturdays. There is, however, opportunity to play on Sundays, competitions permitting.
Handicap certificates are preferred and golfers should be of a sufficient standard to be able to enjoy their round and in order not to inconvenience other players when out on the course.
