Going residential

If you’re after a golf-packed holiday rather than a quick pitch and putt, then you can go residential and enjoy all the benefits of staying right next to the golf course and access a series of golfing activities throughout your stay. Whether you’re working on your skills and need tuition or simply want to play golf every day, all levels and needs are catered for at South Devon’s golf clubs. Many courses offer hotel accommodation right on site, with excellent facilities in top-class locations that wrap up putting greens, traditional South Devon cuisine and driving ranges into one complete package.

Some of the best golfing in the UK can be found in South Devon, with each course using the natural landscape features to create a series of distinct golf courses in the area.

We recommended that you book ahead, and let your chosen destination know whether you’ll need temporary membership or a ‘pay as you play’ ticket, and to check handicap restrictions and availability.
