Saunton Golf Club is home to two of the best-rated courses in Devon, rated one and three, and there’s no disappointment playing either.
The East Course No.1 in Devon is as high as 13th in England, designed by Herbert Fowler, who crafted this masterpiece, weaving great links golf through towering dunes with stunning views over the North Devon coast. Similarly, the West Course, No.3 in the county, is hardly a step down from the East, towering dunes still bring fear to all golfers, similar spectacular views, and similar pristine condition.
For 36 holes of links golf, there may be nothing better in the whole country. With two magnificent links courses, it has attracted many amateur tournaments, such as the British Boys Championship, won here by Sergio Garcia in 1997.
