Watchet Golf Club, Somerset. Report on the first annual meeting July 1930.

From the Clifton & Redland Free Press Thursday 24th July 1930.

 

A 9-hole Cliffside course to the west of Watchet. There was a rather modest clubhouse, everybody seemed to help with course maintenance, even the children were roped in during their holidays to assist. The land was eventually sold in 1956.

Following the closure many members joined Minehead and West Somerset Golf Club.
