Where do I start !!!! The best course I have played in the UK. This is rated as number 12 in the UK and you can see why. The setting is amazing with sand dunes as far as the eyes can see. The back drop of rolling hills and countryside. You stand on the tee boxes and look down the fairways and think WOW The fairways were cut very nicely. The greens were lovely but not to fast. The wind would blow the ball otherwise.
The layout of the course is perfect. Deep bunkers, blind holes, long rough all part of the risk and reward for this course. Definitely need your thinking head on to play this course. Staff were friendly and so were fellow golfers. I went round in a buggy but I think next time I will walk with trolley to fully appreciate the surroundings. If you are ever in North Devon then you must visit this course. The only downside is the cost of the round but I think if you can get over this it`s worth every penny !!!!

We played both the East and West course. The courses were in excellent condition, the tees and fairways looked good, the greens rolled well. The East is the better layout, but the West is better than many other links courses. The clubhouse is good with nice views over the course and the staff are friendly.

Superb extended clubhouse. Practise facilities close at hand, chipping area particularly good. Courses are similar to each other with the west a bit quirkier and shorter. Few genuinely blind shots on either. Almost every hole well defined, par 3's on both particularly good. Unlikely to get an extreme sidehill lie anywhere. Greens just under 9 on my stimp, great covering the best I have seen on a links. Fairways excellent, rough sensible. Friendly staff.
Minor niggle, the undercover range could be better, cant hit woods there. Really cant think of anything else to complain about.
Whilst not exactly 'hidden' gems, if these were close to an Open venue you'd hear a lot more about them. Ridiculously under rated on here. Either should be in everyones top 50 British links, easily, and that's without ripping your game to pieces. Excellent, fair test of golf.

Tough course, didn't find it that exciting but perhaps I didn't do it justice, think it needs playing again.

This course sits alongside it's more famous East course very well. A good selection of holes and terrain that will test your distance control and strategy.

WOW. THE COURSE IS AMAZING. WHAT A BACK DROP YOU HAVE ON EVERY HOLE. MOST OF THE HOLES YOU ARE PLAYING BLIND. A REALLY TOUGH COURSE BUT VERY ENJOYABLE AT THE SAME TIME. LINKS GOLF IS VERY DIFFERENT TO YOUR NORMAL GOLF. FAIRWAYS COULD OF DONE WITH SOME WATER. THE SAND IN THE BUNKERS WAS SO SOFT AND FLUFFY. ACTUALLY MADE IT EASIER TO GET OUT OF THEM. IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA THEN YOU MUST VISIT THIS MAD COURSE. YOU WILL BE HIGHLY REWARDED WITH STRAIGHT SHOTS. THE ROUGH IS LONG AND UNFORGIVING. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. GO AND PLAY THIS COURSE AND TEST YOUR GOLFING ABILITY. 26/8/13. Greens had been holitised and played really bad today. A bit early in the year for that. Made putting very difficult but still liked it.

I have played both courses and have to say I rate them as number one and two out of the hundred or more courses I have ever played home and abroad. If you like links golf you will love this place.

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.

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 !!!!
