Saunton Golf Club - West Course

The Saunton courses are situated on Braunton Burrows which lie between the Taw and Torridge estuary and Saunton Sands. The views of North Devon's beautiful coast with the river, sea and golden sands as a background makes Saunton unique among golf courses. These advantages are matched by the facilities at the Clubhouse and the welcome you will find there.

Saunton is situated on North Devon's beautiful coast with the river, sea and golden sands as its background, making it unique amongst golf courses. These advantages are matched by the facilities at the Saunton Clubhouse and the welcome you will find there. There are two 18 hole courses at Saunton, both are traditional links courses, the East being the recognised Championship course. Whereas the West although shorter in many ways offers a more exacting test of golf. There are two putting greens available as well as practice grounds to brush up on your swing!

The West Course has had extensive improvements over the past few years, including the total rebuilding of all 18 greens. It is now a very attractive alternative to the East Course.

Our second course was originally built in the mid-thirties but was lost as a battle training ground during the Second World War. It was not until 1973 that the decision was made to rebuild the course and the work was completed in 1975. Further changes were made over the subsequent years and the West Course is now also a superb links course, equal in quality to that of the East but having a character of its own and demanding accuracy, with many ditches just waiting to catch the errant shot.
