Worlebury Golf Club was founded by Henry Butt, a local philanthropist, with a group of like minded prominent businessmen. Though initially for their own enjoyment, they kindly donated their shares, making it into a Members Club in 1972. It is now one of a few Golf Clubs in the area that owns its own course and clubhouse. Worlebury celebrated its centenary in 2008.

Situated on Worlebury hill, it lies between the M5 junction 21 (2 miles away) and the seaside town of Weston super Mare. Its location affords stunning views overlooking the Severn Estuary, Wales and The Mendips. At the far end of the course is the old Observatory which was converted from a Windmill in the 1870's.

The course was one of a number designed by Harry Vardon (winner of 7 major championships) and his brother Alfred, who was the club professional for 16 years.

The well manicured 5850 yard par 70 parkland course flows through several, slightly undulating, walled and tree lined fields. It has an excellent mix of holes providing a challenge to the lower handicapper, without intimidating the less proficient golfer. Good course management skills will be needed to assure a respectable score, which is reflected in the present course record of 66. Its non demanding terrain makes it a pleasure to play for visiting golfers of all ages.
