What The Club Says
The golf course at Bovey Castle is a challenging and beautiful 18-hole championship course, designed in 1926 by J F Abercromby, one of the finest British golf course designers of the century. When the course opened in 1930, it quickly gained national acclaim for its reputation as one of the most enjoyable places to play golf.
Designed to rival its sister courses at Gleneagles and Turnberry, this course has been described as an experience of golf never to be forgotten, presenting the pure challenge of golf to professional and amateur alike. The course meanders through the hotel estate, surrounded by idyllic landscape and challenges to meet any handicap.

Overpriced
A good layout, but leaves a lot to be desired. The arrival is very nice, although better signposting for the proshop would be better. Couldn't use the driving range due to a lack of staff. Not really great when the price is nearly £100. One major oversight that would be relatively inexpensive to fic though would be a course layout on the cards, next tee marks or at least a hole layout on the tee. There are a few times where you have blind shots and unless you are playing with a member or have played before, you have no idea what to expect ahead. The 2nd hole and the 11th particularly in this regard need some signage. Finally, the tees were in very poor condition. Uneven, not repaired well and just a bit of a mess. I can't say I would recommend playing here for £100, there are significantly better courses in the south west for less.Reviewer Rating

Would definitely recommend
The river Bovey snakes it’s way through the front nine making it by far the prettiest half of the course. Take a ball retriever with you as you will probably need it. Back nine is more parkland in style but just as enjoyable. Greens were in excellent condition and there was minimal GUR which is impressive considering how wet it has been. Played here once before, many years ago, and it was even better than I remembered.Reviewer Rating

Lovely course that does not cater for golfers
Played Bovey this weekend as part of a 3 game weekend as a group of 8.Pre booked our tee times well in advance and was not disappointed with the course , amazing and in great condition but ther is a big But !!!
Turned up 1 and ate hours early to relax and have a coffee etc and take in the atmosphere.
When to pro shop / hut to check in and asked where we can get the coffees only to be told you can’t !! Why not ?? Residents only !!!, ok we will buy some soft drinks, sorry only got warm water !!! Had no choice to purchase, can we buy some chocolate for half way round please, answer haven’t got any !!! So all in all for a course of this stature and status just appalling they really do need to sort this out, had empty terraces that no one was using overlooking the grounds, utterly disappointing and frustrating, come on Bovey castle sort it out !!!
