Golf Breaks in Devon

Why Book a Golf Break in Devon

Devon is situated in the heart of the South West of England. It has been called in 'The English Riveria' at times with Towns such as Torquay and Saunton giving you a real Mediterranean feel with their beaches, harbours, cafes and picturesque sea views.

There is more to Devon than just seaside towns and great golf, the region boasts one of the UK's largest National Parks, Dartmoor. The moorlands spread over 100km2 and is a great place to visit quaint country villages and get to see the local wildlife and scenery.

Best Golf Resorts in Devon

For an exceptional luxury getaway, Bovey Castle in Dartmoor offers premium amenities, a sophisticated spa, and the outstanding golf course. Many resorts feature on-site golf, making it easy to play. For comfortable accommodations near the coast, the Dartmouth Hotel, Golf & Spa is a great value, and we also recommend the lovely Woodbury Park, just outside Exeter.

Golf in Devon

Golf in Devon is split across two areas; Torquay and North Devon. Torquay is a bustling seaside town with 3 traditional and welcoming clubs; Torquay, Churston and Teignmouth Golf Clubs.

If you venture further North you come across Englands oldest golf course, Royal North Devon which first saw golf back in 1864. You can add to a terrific golf tour by also playing Saunton Golf Club where The East Course is ranked the 16th best course in England and the West Course is just behind in 56th.
