Stockwood Vale Golf Club, Bristol

Just three miles from the city centre, off the Bristol ring road, Stockwood Vale Golf Club is set in beautiful, parkland surroundings and is a good bet for intermediate players-it's relatively straightforward, but with a few challenges thrown in over the 18 hole course. It's a municipal course, which means you don't have to be a member, you can just turn up and play. There's also an excellent floodlit driving range and practice green/bunker, as well as a licensed bar and restaurant. If you fancy a game, you must reserve start times.
