Vivary Golf Course

Vivary Park Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland course featuring par 68 and 4,580 yards, designed by W H Fowler in 1928. Located within Vivary Park, just a five-minute walk from Taunton town centre in Somerset, the course offers scenic views and accessible terrain. The layout is notably flat and easy to walk, making it suitable for golfers of all abilities and ages.

The course incorporates a well-balanced design with ponds, streams, bunkers, and established trees throughout. These natural features provide pleasant aesthetics while contributing to the course's challenge without requiring excessive elevation changes. The combination of water hazards and strategic bunkering creates interest for experienced players while remaining approachable for beginners.

Vivary Park maintains an active competitive calendar, hosting matches and competitions for the main club, plus dedicated sections for seniors and ladies. The club is recognized by England Golf Union and the Ladies Golf Union, allowing members to obtain WHI handicaps. Comprehensive facilities include a clubhouse with dining and bar services, practice areas for driving, pitching and putting, and trolley/buggy hire options. The course is described as beautifully maintained and serves as a hidden gem within the local golfing landscape.
