Course Reviews

With very reasonable green fees (£16) and stunning views of Dartmoor this course has much to recommend it before you set foot on the first tee.
At a little over 5300 yds it's by no means the longest of courses, but a variety of hedges, a quarry and a large selection of thickset fir trees make it devilishly tricky.
Holes of particular note are the par 5 3rd at about 600 yds (possibly the longest hole in Devon), the par 4 15th, with a sloping green that must be surely as fast as the 16th at Augusta and the par 4 17th, which involves a drive through high hedges each side and a carry of over 180 yds to clear yet another hedge.
All round the course the greens are slick and require the deftest of touches with your putter.
Return to the eccentric friendly little clubhouse with well stocked bar and a slightly less well stocked pantry (though the pasties are to be recommended and know that you will want to come back.
