Brean Golf Club is located at Brean Leisure Park on the Coast road, 4 miles north of Burnham On Sea and 5 miles from junction 22 of the M5. It is within a 30 minute drive of Bristol, Taunton and Wells. Brean Sands is a caravan and camping resort and is fronted by 7 miles of sandy beach. The Golf Club is situated behind the sand dunes, approximately 400 yards inland. To find the 1st Tee and Professional Shop you should enter Brean Leisure Park and follow the internal sign posting.

The 5893yds long and par 71 18 hole golf course, is situated in approximately 120 acres of meadowland. Water features come into play on many of the holes providing formidable hazards to the flat landscape. The greens are irrigated by a popup sprinkler system and the fairways being cut from meadowland, remain lush even in drought and are well drained. Therefore, the course is seldom closed. Being on the coast, wind is often a feature adding to the challenge of the course.
