Royal North Devon Golf Club


The oldest links course in Britain, designed by Tom Morris and the former home of J H Taylor, Royal North Devon at Westward Ho! is an antiquity, a unique, charming links with undulating fairways and a variety of interesting holes over the par 72 6,665-yard stretch of coastline bordering the sea shared by golfers, walkers, sheep and horses alike. All the greens are protected from the grazing animals by ropes. A beautiful setting by a bay surrounded by picturesque buildings, it offers a variety of unusual challenges, from high sleepered bunkers to the moguls of 'the Alps'. At one hole horses canter down the hill to their drinking trough. Greens are fast and true. Check out the memorabilia in the wooden clubhouse museum.
