GOLF lovers have plenty of fantastic golf courses to choose from in South Devon including Bigbury


Golf Course at Bigbury-on-Sea which has 18 holes. The fairways are wide and the greens fast but club selection is complicated by sea winds and awkwardly placed trees and bunkers. Dartmouth Golf and Country Club boasts two golf


courses which present a challenging contrast. The18 hole Championship Course is a test for any golfer, whilst the9 hole Dartmouth Course is one not to be missed. Sitting on the edge of the coastline, Thurlestone


Golf Club’s course is a mix of links and cliff-top terrain. Spectacular views can be enjoyed from every hole on the course, which provides a challenge to all levels of golfer, especially when the wind blows. With a course of two halves, Wrangaton Golf Club is unique with its nine moorland holes and nine parkland holes. The moorland holes offer stunning views of the countryside has no bunkers or trees.

running east to west from Churston to Brixham. Its biggest asset is the course itself. Not only is 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. This excellent drainage allows for play 365 days a year and the warm climate means the surfaces of the greens are in tip top condition 12 months of the year unlike so many other courses.
