Royal North Devon at Westward Ho! is the oldest golf course in England and dates back to 1864. A club steeped in history RND is known for its wonderful firm running links golf and with it tipping out at over 7000 yards from the back tees the course is a stern test especially when a stiff breeze gets up. The best holes are as follows: Hole 4 is famous for its cape bunker (see photo) and devilish green complex. Hole 5 is a short par three played up to a green which is well protect with bunkers. Hole 6 is the legendary crumbled fairway which doesn't offer many flat lies. Be sure to visit the museum in the club house with its wide assortment of hickory clubs and memorabilia

St Enodoc Golf Club is located in North Cornwall just across the Camel Estuary from the lovely village of Padstow. Golf was first played at St Enodoc in 1888 with the club officially being formed two years later. In 1907 James Braid was brought in to lay out an 18 hole course which is essentially the one played today. The majority of the Church course as it is known is played through links terrain with a section which is more parkland in style. There are many wonderful holes but the highlights are the down hill 3rd hole with a road and a stone wall across the fairway. The 4th with its mini version of the 'Road hole'. The famous 6th hole with its massive himalaya bunker making the second shot blind. The tough par four 10th hole with the 11th century church behind the green, from which the course is named. There follows the amazing 14th green which is too be seen to be believed. And lastly the recently extended par five 16th which runs along a ridge of sand dunes overlooking the estuary. All in all one of the best golfing experiences in not only in the UK but in the world.

Southerndown is unique. Nature has crafted an unusual ‘limestone-heath’ on which we play our golf. The massive limestone outcrop, which rises over 70 metres from the sea and gives us such superb views, accounts for the course’s free drainage; the overlying soil supports acid-loving heathland vegetation such as heather, bracken and gorse; and the westerly winds have deposited centuries of sand to give the front eight holes a springy, links-style character.

The land at Saunton Burrows has hosted golf since 1897 and given us today’s premier golf course in the West Country since Herbert Fowler (famed designer of Walton Heath, The Berkshire, and Delamere Forest to name just a few) created the East course in the 1920s. This venue has been used ever since for major amateur championships, notably the 1937 English Amateur when Frank Pennink was victorious.

Designed by James Braid in 1927 Perranporth Golf Club remains virtually untouched from its from its original form. Set high on the hill on sandy ground the course commands great views over the village and beach of the same name. Known for its blind shots and wild landscape the course is not for the faint hearted.

West Cornwall Golf Club was founded in 1889 which makes it the oldest club in Cornwall. The course looks out over St Ives Bay and further afield the Atlantic Ocean which provides beautiful views. The course itself is par 69 but provides a wonderful links golf experience with some quirky features which offers a fun time for any visitor.

Just a few miles from the most Southerly point on the British mainland, Mullion Golf Course epitomises the best of playing golf in Cornwall. The far reaching views from the Towans above the cliffs are magnificent. Lamorna and Mousehole can be seen across the ever changing seas of Mounts Bay and the familiar sight of St Michael’s Mount is viewed from a different angle from the cliff top tees. The fine scenery and views continue down to the links holes running towards the beach and Gunwalloe church.
