open to visitors and which does not yet have an entry, please
submit the information
here.
Facilities include, undercover floodlit golf
range and two parkland courses designed by F W
Hawtree & Son. The greens are built to full USGA
specification, thereby dispensing any need for
temporary greens during the winter months.
Opened in 1997, the existing 9 hole par 3
course, while user friendly from the front tees,
offers a true test of golf from the back tees.
The new 9 holes (part of a par 70, 6500 yard
course) was opened in 1999. Built for the
discerning golfer five of the 9 holes feature
water including the spectacular 8th with its 180
yard carry across water to peninsula green.
The course of the Royal North Devon Golf Club is
situated on the Northam Burrows which is a large
area of common land two miles north of Bideford
and today plays on the oldest links in England.
The Burrows at first glance look too flat for a
challenging golf course but this is an illusion.
The course is in fact quite hilly and hazards
such as ditches, burns, bunkers and the great
sea rushes make it difficult at this 6665 yard
par 72 from the white tees and 6398 yards from
the yellow tees. This course is a must for all
golfers playing in the south west.

The course seems to attract the most gracious of
people both members and paying public. A limited
snack menu has been introduced, with plans in
the pipeline for a modest club house and pro
shop and is hoped to start building in the
winter. At present the course is a 9 hole par 32
comprising of five par 3s, three par 4s and a
par 5, offering a challenging short game for the
more experienced and a fun game for beginner and
the young. Its gentle slopes are forgiving for
those in their more twilight years, providing
gentle exercise in beautiful surroundings.
