The Brinsea Championship Course is the main 18-hole course at Mendip Spring Golf Club in Congresbury. It is a par-71 parkland layout measuring 6,369 yards from the white tees, which carry a 71.5 course rating and 127 slope. Yellow tees measure 6,239 yards at 70.2/126, while the red course measures 5,796 yards and is played as par 75 at 72.5/131.
The club describes Brinsea as being built on former pastureland, with approximately 11 acres of interconnected lakes and streams created as part of the course environment alongside established hedges, copses and extensive tree planting. The current local rules, effective May 2026, specifically reference the driving range beside the 15th and drainage and boundary features affecting several closing holes. Mendip Spring also has a separate nine-hole Lakeside Course, so its specifications should not be merged with Brinsea.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 71, 5,824m (6,369 yards), course rating 71.5 and slope rating 127. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Suite, Driving Range, Practice Facilities, Clubhouse, Restaurant, Golf Shop, Room, Corporate Membership.
Brinsea was created on pastureland at Mendip Spring, with the course development adding interconnected lakes, streams and extensive tree planting while retaining established hedges and copses.
Water and existing field boundaries form recurring strategic elements. The course's mixture of natural and created habitats also distinguishes it from the shorter Lakeside layout at the same club.
Brinsea remains Mendip Spring's principal 18-hole championship course, with the club publishing current WHS tables and local rules for the layout.
