Love this course!!

Favourite course in UK.
Third time here in three years. Love every hole.
Love holes like 1, 6, 15, 16, 18 where the fairways runs off at an angle to your tee shot position so you need to decide how much to chop off/how much to carry/how much dare you run off..... A real test!

So many memorable holes. It has to be played if you are a serious golfer. Amazing prices in August £50. We played £50 for twilight (after 2.30 in July) so you don't need to pay full price for really exceptional golf!

They even do a 'country rate' membership (correct spelling).....as do Burnham & Berrow ...... for people +100 mile away knowing you can't get there that often............so for the discerning golfer who doesn't mind a few hours in the car for quality golf .......!

East! Wow! Best course I have played

Played last August and couldn't wait to return. Finally managed it today to celebrate a big birthday coming up. The course is just majestic. Set in a cauldron of dunes. Today the colours were amazing set amingst the dunes and the green rolling countryside. Made all the better by the blue skies!

Start with the magnificent club house. How reasonable. Asked for a coffee 'would that be a cup or a mug sir!?' £1. Bargain!
Also August green fees of £50 is well worth it

Really recommmend the course planner which gives full detail and photos from first tee. I studied it well before and during play and it is a shot saver for sure as you can't tell how much the rushes/rough dig into your tee shots!

I can't wait to play again. Even though 6444 yards off the whites it didn't feel too long

A really classy detail is the paths that guide you around. No concrete. Just crushed sea. Shells to remind you where you are,!

I didn't use the practice facilities but seemed pretty good esp for short game practice

What an absolutely stunning course. Thankfully played it in clear conditions without a breath of wind and even then there was pressure on every shot to keep it on the short stuff. The biggest test of my very average game that I have had yet. I can see how it got its 12th place in the top 100 UK courses.

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.
