What the club says: The quality of the Courses has long been recognised and they both regularly appear in the Top 100 surveys of the Best Course in UK. The East 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. They are true links courses with the holes settling in between the dunes with little or no assistance from man. 2 superb courses and a must play links for any serious golfer.

Best Course In Bournemouth and Devon Area

I've played all the courses in both Devon and Bournemouth Region and the East course is head and shoulders above the rest. It has a real mixture of lengths, angles to come in to pins and also considering the rain we have had this past week, the drainage means there wasn't 1 boggy area. Beautiful landscape, stunning holes, just a gem of a course

A gem of a golf club with 2 great courses

Lucky to be invited to play 3 rounds on consecutive days in gorgeous weather with minimal wind. Both courses are full of challenges and were in perfect condition.

This links course is gorgeous. The greens are amazing, and it's such a quality venue. It's in fabulous condition-- there are very few blind shots.

Best in the west

Both East and West courses superb, and it's February, in great condition even if a bit of work going on with drainage and some returfing on some bunkers

Saunton East

Great challenging course, you would need to play it a couple of times to get used to it to be able to hit a good score. Very difficult greens to put on if they were fast they would be a nightmare. I do think the green fees are a bit expensive though.

Immaculate condition

Immaculate condition. Brutal off the whites but friendly off the yellows. Very welcoming, just a shame about the big price increases post-covid.

Wow, awesome golf venue

Two spectacular courses and just a great set up. Everything was class there and although the course probably didn't suit my driving game (especially the East) the challenge was brilliant. The east punished anything offline severely and the greens were challenging, but beautiful. The west was a very different proposition, with a few more holes to get the driver out, but lots of thought needed.
I would say this was possibly the best golf club I've been to, however it was reflected in the price, it was pricey!

East is best

4th time in 4 years for summer golf. I adore this course. The practice facilities are incredible..... with 2 practice putting greens, a 10 bay range range, a chipping and short game area and 2 lots of nets. I could spend hours just in these. The club house is fabulous, the views across the course are amazing and the fod is goodand not over priced. 75p for a mug of coffee. £7.50 for the most expensive enormous club sandwich. Brilliant value.

The course is just class! The wind was blowing 3 clubs on front nine which made it interesting and we all suffered in it, but it did not detract, but sadly it afected our tee shots alot so spentmost of the first 6 holes ball hunting and waving grous through. We did the twilight after 2.30pm (yes 2.30! which is amazing value at £45 for this quality of course.) There is a top review of this course so go read it. In fact forget that..... just book and go. I'd do a day round trip as it is 2 hour 45 from the Midlands each way.

Even bumped into some elderly fellas from Burnham and Berrow who make the 90 minute trip to play, which speaks volumes.

Email [email protected] she is great at sorting it all out for you!

We then played the West course the day after. We all agreed East is best by quite a long way!

(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 94 Handicap: 12.4)
