Saunton Golf Club

Saunton Golf ClubThe quality of the East Course has long been recognised and was last year placed as the 29th best course in the UK by Golf World. The course was redesigned in 1919 by the famous course architect W. Herbert Fowler and although slight modifications have been made since the war the course is essentially unchanged. It is a true links course with the holes settling in between the dunes with little or no assistance from man. A superb course and a must play links for any serious golfer.

Golf course review of Saunton Golf Club

Easily the best course I've ever played. Very tough, amazing greens and a beautiful setting. Challenging but enjoyable. They also have some good offers for members guests, and it can be very good value to join as a country member if you're a regular visitor to north devon.

Golf course review of Saunton Golf Club

Wow..... This really opened my eyes to golfing. I have never seen anything like this !!!!
Very very hard and testing for me and the bunkers were over 6ft deep.
I struggled the whole way round but really really loved the course. A must for any golfer !!!!

Golf course review of Saunton Golf Club

Played the West Course in the worst weather possible and in failing light, but somehow managed to enjoy myself! Absolutely classic links course. I'd like to come back and have another go on a nicer day. If it's your first time you need to hit the ball to what you can see, any further and it's in trouble, don't take short cuts until you know they exist. The West Course is a bit tight on line so try not to monster the ball unless you can do it straight.

For visitors, the club is friendly with great facilities. If you take the "£40 for a round including meal" option, make sure they are certain the kitchen will be open when you finish. I had to ask for a small refund even after assurances by the pro shop that food would be available, which was quite embarrassing and left me feeling very hungry in my wet kit! This sort of thing happens now and again and they were very good about the refund, so thanks Saunton Golf Club.

I'd recommend to others.
