Being able to play a true piece of history is always memorable, especially when it is a fantastic links course, the oldest course in England founded in 1864, Royal North Devon.
The course itself is a classic links of deep pot bunkers, raised greens and undulating fairways, and it is a truly enjoyable course. Royal North Devon has hardly changed since opening more than 160 years ago; you can still expect to see sheep around the course, and gruesome pot bunkers.
The nature and quality of the course has been rewarded with a host of amateur tournaments being held here, such as The West of England Amateur Championship.
Herbert Fowler, known for fantastic courses all over the world, helped create a gem here.
