WELCOME
Lying between the cultural hubs of Bristol and Bath and deep in the heart
of the picturesque West Country, Saltford Golf Club is a gem set in 151
acres of stunning woodland with great views of the countryside.
The surroundings alone are worth a visit with a course of tree-lined
fairways, undulating greens and tactically placed bunkers which will give
anyone who takes it on a stern challenge.
Despite being just miles away from two of England’s busiest cities, when
you visit our course you will feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere.
The course is complemented by a fantastic pro shop, large putting green,
indoor and outdoor practice areas, chipping green and a full length
driving range.
The clubhouse hosts a casual bar, lounge bar, separate restaurant,
snooker room with a full size table and conferencing facilities and there is
easy access to a very large patio area with amazing views of the 17th and
18th finishing holes.
The club is regarded as one of the county’s most friendly and welcoming.
Golfers of all ages and abilities are most welcome at this club and we all
look forward to your visit.

HISTORY
The course that is such an integral part of the club we have today, was
founded in 1904 when a group of business men and politicians took the
opportunity to lease land from Earl Temple for just £325 per year. That
course founded then is the same one golfers play on today, over 100
years later.
Over the years that followed, the course was extensively reworked and
extended with a large amount of help from the famous course designer
Harry Vardon.
Saltford is also proud to have been one of the six founder members of
the Somerset Golf Union.
Following the First and Second World Wars the club’s energies were
devoted mainly to negotiating modest rental increases from our new
landlords, the Duchy of Cornwall, who had purchased the land in 1941.
In the early 1960s the then Club Professional, Leslie Mouland, master-
minded the first significant changes to the course since its establishment.
In the nineties, the course was given its current layout with the
introduction of the new 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 10th and 17th holes and new
greens on holes 1, 4, 5 and 18.
The club passed its centenary in 2004 and continues to go from strength
to strength, enhancing its reputation as one of the leading clubs in the
South West, having played host to National, Regional and County events.

CLUB CREST
The Saltford Golf Club Crest was designed to incorporate many aspects
of our local history;
The Shield carries 6 golden clarions or trumpets which come from the
Arms of the now extinct Keynsham Abbey which was founded in 1166 by
William, Earl of Gloucester. Situated above the clarions are flowing blue
and white lines which represent the rivers Chew and Avon.
The Helm and Mantling are in red and gold. Above the helm is an unusual
coronet, which links the area to its Roman past.
The Golden Dragon relates to the Dragon of Wessex the Royal West
Saxon connection to Keynsham.
Around the Dragon’s neck is a necklace of brass wire on which is sus-
pended a cogwheel relating to the importance of the former British brass
Industry in Keynsham and Saltford which employed so many local people.
The Dragon holds between its claws the basic arms of the Bridges family
who bought the Abbey lands in 1552 and built a mansion. ”Maintien Le
Droit “was the Bridges’ motto.
The adoption of these armorial bearings was very appropriate as it covers
the history of Keynsham and Saltford over one thousand years.

COURSE TOUR
Saltford Golf Course has become one of Bristol & Bath finest golf
courses, providing an excellent challenge to golfers of all abilities at any
time of the year. The course is always in first class condition and rarely
closes during the winter months, when we continue to use the main
greens whenever possible.
Our PGA Pro Darren Read is here to give you the hole-by-hole tour and
a few tips to help you conquer our Par 73, 6398 yard course.
Hole 1 – Par 5, 531 yardsThis hole throws you in at the deep end as a tough par 5 sets you on your
way. To get your round off to a good start it is best to hug the left hand
side on this left to right dogleg to avoid the out of bounds area on the
right. This approach gives you more options to attempt to find the green
with your second shot.
Hole 2 – Par 3, 168 yardsBunkers on the left and the right guard the long and narrow green so
take care from the tee because an inaccurate pitch could land your ball
in trouble.
Hole 3 – Par 4, 344 yardsThis short par 4 slopes from left to right and can be tough for anyone who
attempts the green in one. Any balls that come up short may be punished
by the deep bunker on the front right of the green. A short shot left of the
oak tree only leaves a short approach and a good birdie opportunity.
Hole 4 – Par 4, 423 yardsThis dead straight hole is the highest point on the course. The fairway
rolls away to the right and the short rough on the left can leave you in
trouble. Two well-placed shots can set you up well but a par on this hole
will feel like a victory.
Based in Keynsham, our mission is to provide Homeowners and Property Developers in Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas with a total building solution.
With over 20 years experience, our expertise extends across the field of construction to include Property Renovation and Refurbishment, Extensions and Loft Conversions, Conservatories, New Build, Kitchen Fitting, General Building Works, Bespoke Carpentry and Joinery and Project Management.

COURSE TOUR CONTINUED
Hole 5 – Par 5, 571 yardsThis is a hole for the big hitters, avoid the left hand side which is covered
in woodland and be sure to take care with your second shot. There is a
chance to reach the hole in two but short hitters may want to pitch up
short before attempting to reach the green.
Hole 6 – Par 4, 442 yardsThere is no room for error on this tricky par 4. Favouring the left hand
side is your best chance of reaching the green in two as the hole opens
up after the poplars end.
Hole 7 – Par 4, 346 yardsA right to left dog leg par 4 that goes downhill, this hole is relatively straight
forward but you have to be wary of the two bunkers on the left of the
fairway. An iron from off the tee leaves you a simple shot to the green.
Hole 8 – par 4, 453 yardsEverything runs to the left on this long par 4 and the trees are hard to
avoid. The fun keeps going when you reach the two tiered green and
leaving the ball long could take away any chance of making par.
Halfway House The natural stone-built Halfway House behind the 8th Green provides
delicious hot and cold snacks all the year round, perfect to pick up a
bacon roll or cup of tea before starting the second half of your round.
Toilet facilities are also located here.
Hole 9 –Par 3, 165 yardsThis hole has a very narrow approach and is surrounded by bunkers.
To make things even trickier shots normally have to be taken into the
prevailing winds. If you’re going to miss the green here it is best to miss
to the left.
www.saltfordgolfclub.co.uk | 13
Hole 10 – Par 4, 364 yardsThe tee shot is the key to success on this tricky par 4. The green may look
tempting but beware as the severe back to front slope makes it the most
difficult two putt on the course.
Hole 11 – Par 3, 154 yardsOne of the most picturesque holes on the course; a sloping green
surrounded by bunkers leaves little room for error and only a well-placed
shot to the centre of the green will give you any hope of a birdie.
Hole 12 – Par 4, 340 yardsThis short par 4 over the valley offers up stunning views of Bath and
Kelston. It is one the long hitters relish trying to sink in two but the
greenside bunkers punish those who aren’t accurate. Brave golfers will
often be rewarded.
Hole 13 – Par 4, 423 yardsA tight fairway makes for a tricky hole, well placed trees also catch
wayward shots. A three tier green makes putting tough and as with many
of our holes a par should be considered a great result.
Hole 14 – Par 5, 476 yards Out of bounds on the right and a line of trees on the left means that only
a straight shot down the fairway will see you in a good position for your
iron shot. Longer hitters may be tempted to go for the green in two but
bunkers short of the green await so take care.

COURSE TOUR CONTINUED
Hole 15 – par 4, 298 yardsThe wind usually plays a factor on the shortest par 4 on the course.
Many hidden undulations can catch visitors out but it is a feature that our
members have grown accustomed to. Panoramic views off Bath can be
enjoyed as you watch your ball fly off the tee.
Hole 16 – Par 4, 385 yardsIt’s back across the valley for the 16th and a tough par 4 which can be
deceptively long. Avoiding the bank on the right is your best chance of
making the green in two.
Hole 17 – Par 3, 156 yardsThis is our signature hole; a drop hole par 3 with a lake fed stream and
deep bunker protecting the green, it is truly a sight to behold. Aim for the
back of the green to be safe or the hazards could claim your ball.
Hole 18 – Par 4, 363 yardsA tight drive through an avenue of trees gets you on your way for the
final hole. With dense woodland on the left and an out of bounds area
on the right there can be no margin for error. Once the tee shot is
away a relatively simple second should see you to the green. With the
testing course over breathe a sigh of relief and go and enjoy a drink in
the clubhouse.
www.saltfordgolfclub.co.uk | 15
Dry Stone WallsWhen we discovered that we had an ancient Parish Boundary Wall at
the side of one of our Tees which was really just a heap of rubble; several
members including a retired builder decided to have a go at rebuilding it
Their enthusiasm and success was such that the following year they
rebuilt several dry stone walls, and this year will see the completion of
the final one.
The commitment of our members to take up this challenge and help
rebuild a part of the club that is so significantly tied to our history, shows
the passion our members hold for the club. This is something that makes
us incredibly proud.
www.saltfordgolfclub.co.uk | 17
CLUBHOUSE
Saltford’s friendly clubhouse is the centre of social activity and provides
the perfect atmosphere for people to unwind after a round in which
they can enjoy a refreshing drink or replenish the energy stocks with a
bite to eat.
We have continued to invest in our facilities and many aspects of the
clubhouse have been recently refurbished and upgraded.
The casual bar underwent a major refurbishment in 2013, the lounge
and dining area project was completed late 2012 and provides the
perfect location for all types of celebrations.
The bar is open from 10:30am-11:00pm in the summer, and until
7:00pm in the winter.
There is a full size snooker table located in the snooker room just
adjacent to the casual bar. This facility is available to all adult members.
We host a number of social events in the clubhouse throughout the
year and it is a place where members can socialise.

PRACTICE FACILITIES
Our wide range of practice facilities are the perfect place to warm up
your golfing arm before hitting the course. It’s so easy to practice at
Saltford with the facilities for short game and putting alongside the
main drive.
The current 350 yard, 12 bay, driving range allows for even the longest
hitters to be able to pick up their drivers and let rip. We have two
chipping areas next to the driving range to let you practice your short
game from both the thicker grass and bunkers whilst our excellently
kept practice green can be found by the 1st tee.
We also have a number of indoor practice facilities such as a swing
room and a 12ft putting mat. Our Club Pros are available to give tuition
on both our indoor and outdoor facilities to ensure your game is at its
peak before you hit the course.
Under construction, scheduled for 2015/16, is an amazing new 9 hole
Academy Course and an 8 bay floodlit Driving Range giving members a
huge incentive and enhanced facilities.

JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP
Academy course membership
Currently the academy course consists of 4 simple short hole on the
practice area and is predominately, but not exclusively, for younger juniors
who are new to the game. When juniors can go round the course twice
(i.e. 8 holes) in 32 strokes and are able to pass a very brief assessment by
one of our coaching team they then progress to the “black tees”.
Black tee course membership
Each hole on the main course has a black tee, situated some distance in
front of the main tees. This gives juniors the chance to play each hole on
the course without the long carries from the tee, which can be daunting
for smaller, younger juniors. Each junior is allocated an unofficial handicap
of 72 (4 per hole) as soon as they progress to the black tees and, through
the numerous competitions run on the black tees, can reduce their
handicap to 30 at which point they will progress to the yellow tees.
Yellow tee course membership
This is the full course which everyone plays.

CLUB SECTIONS

www.saltfordgolfclub.co.uk | 33
Ladies
The Lady Captain, selected annually at a meeting of the past lady captains,
has a busy year with social golf and her charity event to organise. Our
Ladies are an active, vibrant and integral section of SGC with around
80 playing members across a broad handicap and age range. Our aim is
to organise a variety of competitions to appeal to golfers of all abilities.
Some are team games with a fun element but there are also plenty
of individual qualifying Medal, Stableford & Trophy competitions for
handicap purposes.
The Ladies Section has priority tee times on a Wednesday from 10.00
until 13.30 but we also run weekend Medals plus Alternate Days for
certain competitions. There are a number of club Mixed competitions
usually on Sundays or Bank Holidays throughout the playing season as
well as Mixed Friendlies against other clubs.
Saltford Golf Club also organise a Ladies Open and two Mixed Opens
which are very popular and fill up quickly.
For ladies who prefer more sociable though still competitive golf, there
are around 10 friendly matches per year against other local clubs. This
is a great way for newer golfers to learn from more experienced ladies
playing in a Greensomes format.
All ladies are automatically members of the Somerset Ladies County Golf
Association so may play in County events subject to competition conditions.
The Ladies field 2 teams in the Bristol & District Alliance League where
14 matches are played by each team off scratch.

Juniors
We have a comprehensive Child Protection Policy and hold the
“high-achievers” award from GolfMark. We are an extremely
“ junior friendly” club where we fully support all our juniors and their
wellbeing is paramount. Saltford was the first Somerset club to gain
the Golfmark Award.
Junior members have a full diary of events each season but our juniors
are free to pick and choose which ones they want to play. These events
include fortnightly club nights (Sunday evenings) through the main playing
season, competitions both at Saltford and away on other courses, league
matches against other clubs (home and away) and a golf tour each year
in the summer.
Under the guidance of our three teaching professionals (one of whom is
an England coach), junior coaching is taken very seriously at Saltford and
this takes place on many levels from club night coaching for the absolute
beginner (where clubs etc. are available to loan) to coaching by the county
for the better players. Whatever the ability level of the junior, there is a
suitable coaching scheme at Saltford.
Our juniors have just completed their most successful season for many
years by winning the Bristol and District Junior League (without losing a
game) and finishing 4th (out of 30 counties) in the England Golf Junior
Champion Club finals at Woodhall Spa.
With junior membership fees starting at well under £1 per week and pre-
used half sets of clubs (adequate for the new starter) being available at
very reasonable prices, golf is not an expensive game to take up and we
would encourage you to give golf a try. If you would like to find out more,
please contact David Phillips on 0117 9475156

Seniors
We have a very active and vibrant seniors section and all male golfers
automatically become Seniors on their 55th birthday.
The Section organises 11 handicap qualifying competitions including the
Saltford Seniors Open during the year. In addition we organise several
Bowmakers and better ball competitions.
The Seniors play 4 ball better ball in matches against 15 other clubs in the
area during the season.
On Tuesday mornings the Seniors have ‘priority’ on the course when ‘Roll
Ups’ give an opportunity to play with others in friendly competitions.
Stragglers
The Saltford Stragglers is a team which offers members the opportunity
for friendly matchplay games against other clubs.
Our games are played on weekdays throughout the summer on a friendly
basis using the four-ball better-ball format.
Home matches are generally played on Wednesday afternoons starting
approx 3.30 p.m. followed by an informal two course meal (dress code
smart casual).
Players only have to pay for the meal so it means that you get to play on
different courses a lot cheaper than if you had to pay a green fee.
