Has somebody moved Bristol? ??
Not yet but they are preparing to, starting with the statues I hear
Been down to Cumberwell and it's a great set up with four loops of nine plus a par 3 course. Think from memory there's a range and short game area there as well
Really nice course is Cumberwell, the fact you can book any combination of courses keeps it interesting as each 9 is different including the orange which is open with few trees and no water. It does suffer a bit in the winter but so do most round here
I discounted Frilford Heath as too near Oxford. Highworth is a muni 9 hole and Wrag Barn isnt up to much!
I thought about the straight line and didn't really consider North and West, but possibilities that way.... the triangle of Stroud , Dursley and Cirencester worth thinking about.
Chippenham has main line station in both directions too
Played with a mate who is a member a year or so after that. I probably have a slight downer on Wrag Barn as I remember it when it first opened and the planted all the trees as little whips and the clubhouse was a portacabin! Its miles better now the trees have grown up, but you would go there on a golf break and if you lived nearby, surely you'd go to Frilford or Burford 
I'd give a thumbs up for Marlborough as a lovely town - and have played the golf course a few times (though not for a good number of years now). As a visitor I found it a friendly club, interesting clubhouse with great views from the upstairs lounge, and the course is an enjoyable (though often very windy) downland course. Mind you - as you approach Marlborough from the motorway I recall my first impressions of the clubhouse being that it looked a bit like a spaceship had landed on the top of the hill
