Carlyon Bay Hotel Golf Course
Played On 04/08/2019Seaside course
Played as part of a 2 day golfing trip to Cornwall. Best view from the first tee I've seen for a long while. Virtually had the course to ourselves for the afternoon. The greens were good with a few challenging undulations. We did note that there seemed to be few flat fairways. Great course in good condition and would certainly recommend a visit.
Mullion Golf Club
Played On 04/07/2019Another seaside course
Part of a 2 day golf tour to West Cornwall. A lovely open course with great views but a bit more hilly than I was expecting. Fairways were wide and, apart from going out of bounds, you'd be unlucky not to find your wayward balls. A sensible layout but we did struggle to find the next tee a couple of times. Soapy water and clean towels at all the ball washing contraptions around the course was a nice touch too.
Staddon Heights Golf Club
Played On 03/28/2019A good afternoon
An enjoyable and interesting good in very good condition and with fine views of Plymouth Sound, Plymouth and Dartmoor from most of the holes. The course was sadly far better than my golf. Hard not to recommend it even at full price.
Ilfracombe Golf Club
Played On 01/16/2019A round with a view
The claim that you get a sea from every tee is certainly true. The course was wet but in good condition with fine greens. The layout was slightly confusing and the lack of on course signs or score card map didn’t help. Also some signs around the etiquette on the crossover points would have been helpful. That aside really great course and we will be venturing back very soon to take up their 18 holes + breakfast offer.
Bude & North Cornwall Golf Club
Played On 12/17/2018Good winter course
Course was in in fine condition especially bearing in mind the recent wet weather. No temporary greens or tees. It’s a testing course with many blind crests leading so many hit and hope shots and also several overhit shots to greens. A few minor roads to cross and we had a few nervy tee shots where traffic, parked cars and terraced houses are very hittable. For us, a good winter course at a great price.
Axe Cliff Golf & Country Club
Played On 12/01/2018A good days play
We virtually had the course to ourselves all afternoon. Some challenging holes with good views of the Jurassic Coast. An open course allowing for wayward drives to be not severely punished A few crossovers and blind crests which are easier now that we’ve played the course before. Only downside to the day were the greens which were patchy and bobbly.
Elfordleigh Hotel, Golf & Country Club
Played On 10/24/2018Good parkland course
A good golf course played in good conditions. We could take our time as we had no other golfers around us until the last couple of holes. Some of the greens were a bit patchy and had unrepaired pitch marks but course in good condition other than that.
Elfordleigh Hotel, Golf & Country Club
Played On 07/27/2018An enjoyable challenge
A very good course and a great layout. Seemed like there were very few straight holes with bunkers to catch the unwary. Course and greens in good condition, bearing the weeks of hot dry weather we've had. Look forward to playing it again.
Staddon Heights Golf Club
Played On 06/22/2018A course with a view
The course was in excellent condition and was a joy to play. A few testing shots and putts. A few tees had us firing off over greens which could have been tricky had it been busy. Great views on most of the holes of Plymouth Sound. Will definitely be returning to play again.
Axe Cliff Golf & Country Club
Played On 04/10/2018Good value round
An enjoyable course although it wasn't in the best of conditions after long bouts of rain. The wet course meant buggies were not allowed which sadly meant that one of our party couldn't play. Only 3 holes had temp greens though which was good bearing in mind recent weather. Find the mid-round par 5's a bit unmemorable slog. One of our favourite local courses.
Whitsand Bay Hotel
Played On 02/05/2018A cold day out
On arrival at the course we were told that there was a trolley ban on the course. Not too much of a disappointment for 3 of us but not so good for one of our party who ended not being unable to play. To be fair to the club they did there best to assist my colleague but to no avail. Once out on the course we were greeted with stunning views and a course that was in a fair condition in spite of the recent wet weather (no temp greens). Layout had a few crossovers which wasn't an issue as it looked like we were the only ones playing. Great outward 9, inward 9 a little less memorable.
Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club
Played On 12/11/2017A cold visit to Dorset
Popped across the border from Devon to play this one. Picked a clear but a cold windy day to play. Course conditions were good and greens quite quick. As first timers a course map to go with the provided hole guide would have helped to find our way round. A good days golf and look forward to going back on a warmer day.
Exeter Golf & Country Club
Played On 08/03/2017Good but uneventful course
Course was fairly busy which isn't unusual. Despite the course being popular it doesn't seem to have a detrimental effect on the condition of the course. The course is flat and well laid out although we inadvertently missed out a couple of holes (no map on the card either) and went back to them at the end. No real memorable holes and with no significant rough, apart from numerous bunkers, it's a course you can score well on.
Stover Golf Club
Played On 07/21/2017A recommended course
We booked our round for late pm tee off which fortunately was just after some extensive rain had finished. This meant we pretty much had the course to ourselves and meant we had a leisurely round. The fairways were well trimmed and the greens were in good nick. Some of the fairways looked a bit scorched in places after a recent spell of hot weather but didn't affect play. A reasonable test of golf prowess where slightly wayward shots aren't severely punished. A good variety of holes too.
Launceston Golf Club
Played On 03/28/2017Good course , poor weather
This course is fairly flat with a few views looking down onto Launceston. An enjoyable afternoons golf slightly hampered by the weather (cold, wet & windy). On first acquaintance the greens appeared bare but they had recently been treated and they were better than they looked. The greens had slopes and undulations which tested our 'putting prowess'. We liked the layout of the course and look forward our next round there.
Teignmouth Golf Club
Played On 03/13/2017Testing course with excellent views
Really enjoyed this course. A testing course with obstacle to clear and many a bunker protecting the greens. Numerous bunkers down the fairways to avoid as well. Only downside was that quite a few holes had roads running alongside them, one of them a busy main road, which you were always conscious of. Greens had just been treated which meant they were bobbly. Great views to enjoy looking towards both East Devon and Torbay.
Axe Cliff Golf & Country Club
Played On 03/05/2017Course with great views
Played this course after a spell of overnight heavy rain and bearing that in mind, there was little sign of it out on the course. Course was very quiet, probably due to the preceding weather. Weather fairly clear and so we could admire the good views on our way round. Course has several challenges and the greens lush and true. On the more exposed holes we had to contend with gale force winds which made putting and driving difficult. Several criss crossing holes might hinder play if busy.
Warren Golf Club
Played On 02/10/2017Links course with lovely greens
Chilly weather but the course played well. Greens lush and true. A few fairways were looking a bit ragged with unrepaired divots. Some gorse/undergrowth had been cleared with made some holes easier. Course quite flat so it's an easy walk. Some bunkers are deep/steep so best avoided, although the sand in them is good. Only downside to our play was that I was hit by a ball from the pair following us with barely an apology.
Dainton Park Golf Club
Played On 11/07/2016A good round
Course appeared in good condition apart from old drainage spike marks in the greens making them a bit bobbly. challenging holes, elevation changes and hazards to negotiate made it good place to play.
