The area is ideally placed for golf, with a number of courses that offer everything you need including equipment hire and tuition. Courses are located on the coast and inland and all share a distinct Devon ambience and tranquillity that will allow you to focus on your game and bring down your handicap.

If you’re after a golf-packed holiday, 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. Many courses offer hotel accommodation right on site.
