This course has fantastic views looking out to some beautiful landscapes. The holes are equally as fantastic with some challenging holes and even for the beginner still a lot of fun.

I have visited and played the course a number of times. The club offers a warm welcome and even if your game is not on song you can at least enjoy the views which are stunning - Dartmoor, Burgh Island and the Avon estuary. The course is not particularly long but it requires accuracy of shot if one is to avoid punishing rough, trees and bunkers, made more challenging if the wind blows...and it does. A good score against handicap has been well earned. I look forward to my next visit.

I have played Bigbury Golf Club a great many times as a holiday visitor – in fact, several times every year for as long as I can remember.
I have seen this cliff top course, overlooking the sea – which was always a delight to play – gradually improve and mature over time. It is now a course which is not only interesting, very scenic and decently challenging, but it is also one which has been thoughtfully improved - with often quite small, but usually wise and intelligent, changes to the layout and design. It has also been maintained to a high standard whenever I have visited.
The greens are usually in fine condition and, especially in the summer months, pretty quick. Whilst the surfaces are smooth and true, the greens are, for the most part, also undulating and require careful lining up of your putts. The fairways seem to get just a little narrower each year, and the semi rough a little more noticeable, but that might just be my personal impression as the passing years seem relentlessly to make the game generally that bit harder.
The views are a real panoramic delight – whether inland towards the hills and moors of Dartmoor, or along the beautiful Avon river estuary as it winds upstream from Bantham to Aveton Gifford; or out to sea, taking in the rolling surf and, for example, the magnificent sight of Burgh Island and the tiny fishing port of Hope Cove. Wherever you look, in fact, if you can raise your eyes from the course itself, delightful vistas abound.
The clubhouse always offers the visitor a genuinely warm welcome, a good bar and simple but appealing, and well prepared, food.
The welcome is also evident in the pro shop, which is well stocked with a wide variety of clubs, clothing and accessories.
The green fees are fair and reasonable and offer excellent value, especially when the charm and quality of the course are taken into account.
Although it is a course that is well protected by sea breezes, good bunkering and numerous bushy trees, it is also a fair test of golf – so that it can be played and enjoyed by high and low handicappers alike. I would suggest that it has something for everyone – and, if you have happen to suffer one of those poorer golfing days which afflict us all, then you still have the pleasure of enjoying a beautiful walk in delightful surroundings.
If you are in, or anywhere near, the “South Hams” of Devon, why not give it a try? If necessary, take a little detour and try it out. I suspect that, like me, you will enjoy it.

There are a number of courses in the world that can boast stunning views, beautifully presented & manicured courses, top quality coaching & excellent Club House facilities. Not many of them are in the South Hams though – so if you are in the area, try this one. You will not be disappointed.

I played on the course last week, and considering the dreadful weather we have had the course was in amazing shape. The greens are superb and the views of the coast were the best from any course around there. The staff were extremely friendly. I will definitely be playing there again.

Very friendly club if a bit dated with a tacked on pro shop.The course is a good mix but with a few too many blind shots and too be honest a bit boring in places.It does however occupy a fantastic location with splendid views of Burgh Island made fomous in Agatha Christies Murder under the sun.And can and very often does blow a hooley.
