Courses
Torquay
Founded in 1909, the course has steadily evolved to present a first class parkland layout that offers a challenging yet rewarding test of golf in beautiful natural surroundings. Extensive views from the course encompass Lyme Bay in the east across the water to as far afield as Portland Bill, and to the rugged tors of Dartmoor to the west. The tree lined fairways and high quality greens present an interesting challenge on each hole. Torquay golf course provides a true test of golf for players of all abilities.
Stover
The peace and tranquillity of Stover Golf Club, located on the edge of Newton Abbot is a convenient treat for golfers in the south west, with easy access from the A38 and M5. The course is one of the best parkland courses in the south west. The beautiful parkland golf course features a wide variety of holes, elevation change, mature trees, streams and picturesque ponds. This 18 hole 5959 yards course off the back tees consists of two loops of nine holes which both come back to the clubhouse. The course design was influenced by "5 times British Open Champion - James Braid" and provides easy walking, narrow tree lined fairways but contains subtly contoured greens that present a fair but challenging test of golf for all enthusiasts.
Dainton Park
Established in 1993 Dainton has grown into one of the friendliest, most enjoyable clubs in South Devon. Set in 125acres of classic parkland, elevated tees offer magnificent views over Dartmoor National Park and the South Hams, while tight, well defined fairways follow the natural contours of the land, and inviting greens nestle among the trees and water features. Dainton Park is a good test of golf and has also played host to the County Championship.
Dartmouth Championship Course
The 7,200 yard, par 72 Championship Golf Course, which has hosted the West Region PGA Championships on no less than 6 occasions, has been designed to challenge the most proficient golfer, with the strategic positioning of tees, meandering streams, 12 water features and undulating greens providing an excellent and enjoyable challenge to golfers of all abilities.
Bigbury
People who visit this famously friendly, cliff-top golf course near Kingsbridge in Devon will never forget the experience. This challenging yet forgiving coastal golf course offers 18-holes, 6000-yards and is a very fair par-70. There are stunning views in all directions: Dartmoor to the north, Burgh Island to the west, and on the eastern flank, Bantham Beach and the winding River Avon. Sea breezes can make it interesting and different every time.
Thurlestone
Situated in an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, Thurlestone is a fantastic location to play golf. Running along the stunning coastline of Bigbury Bay, the course is a mix of links and cliff-top terrain with the latter providing breath-taking views of the legendary Thurlestone Rock to the East and the beautiful Avon Estuary and Burgh Island to the West.
The course is one of the most exhilarating with majestic rocky seascapes above the coves where smugglers used to operate. It is also ideal holiday golf - not too severe, with quite generous fairways but the wind, of course, can blow with a vengeance.
Churston
Established in 1890, Churston is a stunning parkland course with amazing coastal sea views over Torbay, Devon. Not only are the 18 holes laid out and presented in a fashion that is always pleasing on the eye, Mother Nature has ensured that the sub strata of shillet and shale are perfect for golf course drainage making it playable all year round. The standard of the course and greens are always kept to a very high standard at Churston and is a great golfing experience for all levels of golfer. Churston regularly host’s county amateur and PGA regional events.
Wrangaton
Wrangaton Golf Club was founded in 1895 on the southern slopes of Dartmoor. The course is unique with a split of 9 moorland holes and 9 parkland holes. It’s very much a course of two halves and there is nothing else like it in Devon. Many holes showcase stunning views of the rich Devonshire countryside with a backdrop of the coastline and the sea 10 miles away. The course comes with its own set of unique challenges that will test any level of golfer and their shot making ability.
