What the club says: The moorland nine holes showcase stunning views of the rich Devonshire countryside with a backdrop of the coastline and the sea 10 miles away. These 9 holes have no trees and no bunkers, but several winding moorland streams - and you may see sheep and Dartmoor ponies grazing nearby. The parkland nine holes offer a complete contrast with lush fairways bordered by hedgerows and trees and the odd few bunkers to trap wayward balls. You really do get two courses for the price of one. The course is 6065 yards par 70 for men, and 5248 yards par 71 for ladies. It offers a challenge to golfers of all levels.

A challange in the heart of South Devon

A game of two halves is a cliche usually used by football pundits. However in Wrangatons case its exactly that. The course is unique with a split of 9 moorland holes and 9 parkland holes. Founded in 1895 ,it is part of a club where a member belonging to any club founded in 1895 can play for free. The front nine in my view is far from easy, undulating fairways granite rocks,plenty of gorse and bracken coupled with grazing cattle ,sheep , and ponys add to the challenge . Considering all the grazing livestock the greens are protected by electric fences and are in excellent condition and well maintained.
In sharp contrast the back nine is livestock free and is a pleasant parkland experience with a couple of challenging par 3 holes. Overall it is a course that both low and high handicapppers can enjoy and is well worth a visit.

Excellent greens

The green fee is a bargain at £10. The course is split over two halves, the first being a moorland course, the back nine is parkland. There are up and downhill holes. The fairways on the moorland are undulating with gorse to the sides; you won't get a flat lie. Watch out for a few ditches near the greens which are not always seen from the fairway. The parkland is a bit shorter with trees on the sides of the holes. The greens were excellent, firm, fast and true. As it's still March the tees were being rested and you had to play off mats, but the tees looked good.

Two courses in one.

Always a thoroughly enjoyable course to play with 9 holes of moorland with uneven lies and grazing sheep, horses and cattle to negotiate followed by 9 holes of beautifully manicured parkland. A must for whenever we are staying in Devon.

A game of two halves

A game of two halves is normally a phrase used by soccer pundits, However at Wrangaton an 1895 club situated on the edge of Dartmoor in South Devon, that is exactly what you get.
The front 9 is played on Moorland often shared by cattle sheep and horses. With its undulating fairways, rocks , bracken and gorse the course provides a challenge for golfers of all abilities. There are also excellent views of the surrounding Devon landscape. All change on the back nine where you will find a a more traditional Parkland course not without its own challenges. In the winter months it also provides a welcome relief from the exposed front nine being more sheltered.During the spring the mass carpets of Blue Bells in the adjoining woodland ls a sight to behold. What ever your ability you will enjoy sites and challenges this course has to offer.

Chappers visits Wrangaton

This course offers a genuinely superb challenge, the front 9 is a gem of a moorland course. No bunkers to be concerned about, yet Dartmoor always throws up hidden dangers, and Wrangaton is no different. Thick gorse and undulating greens are the order. The 10th is a driving challenge, which I truly love. The 12th is a fine par 3 which is a joy to behold. The back 9 is just so different to the front 9, I would say there are very few course's in the country that have the game of two halves feel to it.
The facilities are first class, very welcoming members, good food and incredibly an incredibly helpful professional. This golf club is 1st class, and really worth a visit.

Great course, two contrasting and equally interesting 9s. Superb value at £10. I even lost a fitness band which a friendly member subsequently returned.

Front nine still suffering from rain - very waterlogged in places making the ground very soft, and ground strokes tricky. Back 9 always a pleasure to play!
