Since its official inauguration in 1926, the course at Bovey Castle has been consistently regarded as one of the best inland challenges in the South West and beyond. The course is set within the beautiful parkland of the Dartmoor National Park, and was originally conceived by the revered J.F. Abercromby as a sister course to the world-renowned Gleneagles and Turnberry, but has since been revised by designers Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie.
Offer valid between Tue, 01 Nov 2011 and Wed, 31 Oct 2012.

Although it has always been a course of considerable repute, Bovey Castle has greatly benefited from recent investment to improve both its condition and appearance; the drainage and irrigation systems have been completely overhauled, new tee boxes added and many of the bunkers and greens have been reworked.
The resultant 6,303 yard championship layout befits the grandeur of the estate, and is a real gem of a course. Against the backdrop of the Bovey and Bowden rivers, which golfers must negotiate frequently, Bovey Castle has been restored to its former glory and is among England's most luxurious destinations for a golf break.
The Castle Bistro, which leads to the clubhouse, is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast and lunch, or to analyse the day's golf with friends over a well-earned drink.
Golfing legend Sir Henry Cotton has described Bovey Castle's 7th hole as "possibly the best par-4 in British inland golf.”
