Review |
A challenging course for all handicaps, playable all year
round. The course is currently going through many alterations
in its full transition between 9 and 18 holes with a lot of
money being spent on landscaping and flattening some of the
up-hill lies!
The 'new' 9 is fairly open and has a links feel to it. This
is in great contrast to the parkland feel of the 'old' course,
which is tighter with plenty of water to catch errant drives.
The course boasts two impressive 170+ yard par 3's over water.
These are both spectacular and challenging holes and will
put everyone's heart in their mouth!
This is still a new course, which needs time to mature into
a great course. Don't be disappointed if it is still a bit
brown from the changes, the green keepers have improved greatly,
and they are putting in a lot of effort to get the course
looking great.
The hospitality is warm with an ever-extending clubhouse
with restaurant. Some may feel that £18+ for a round
of golf here is a little pricy to non-members but this is
north Devon!
