Golf Courses at The Dartmouth Hotel, Golf and Spa

Championship Course

The par-72 Championship Course has hosted the West Region PGA Championships on no less than six occasions. The 7,200 yard layout is set up to provide a stern test for even the most skilled players, with strategically positioned tees making for difficult driving. 12 water hazards are integrated into the course to guard the undulating greens and fairways.

Dartmouth Course

The par-66 Dartmouth Course is a more relaxing and manageable test than its neighbour, but is built and maintained to equally high standards. With water threatening on a number of occasions, the Dartmouth is no walk in the park, but is great for larger groups as it is suitable for all golfers.

Dartmouth's Head Greenkeeper was selected to represent England and Ireland in the finals of the ‘Toro' Award for Excellence in Greenkeeping, explaining why the greens at Dartmouth are so excellent.

SOUTH DEVON GOLF TOURS -

Bovey Castle - Set on the grounds of a beautiful 5* hotel, Bovey Castle Golf Course measures a modest 6,200 yards but what is lacks in distance it makes up in its beauty and challenge to navigate the extensive elevation changes.

Dawlish Warren GC - This Links course lies on the Exe Bay and is a true hidden gem of a links course. The length doesn't make the challenge, it is generally the wind that comes over the flat yet interesting course.

Wrangaton GC - This 100 year old course spreads over the Dartmoor hills. Its unique feature is the two very different 9's; one being moorland and the other Parkland, perfect to give you variety during your round.

Thurlestone GC - The course is in top 10 courses in Devon and provides a real links challenge. This Harry Colt course will leave you wanting more as work way over the 'area of outstanding natural beauty'.

Churston GC - Churston GC is a parkland land course with all the spectacular views of a Links course. The course measures 6,200 yards but does challenge you to hit good golf shots all the way round and being on top of the cliffs it is perfect all year round.

Dainton Park GC - It was only built in 1993 but has matured well into a lovely Parkland course. Located just a few miles in land of Torquay, Dainton Park is the perfect choice for your group.

Bigbury GC - Bigbury GC is a Par 70 course that is situated within a mile of the Dartmouth Coast Line with Stunning Scenic views in all directions. The course is perfect all abilities and well known for their fast greens and warm welcome.

Tips for visiting The Dartmouth Hotel, Golf and Spa

Rory Anderson

Handicap: 8
Visited: August

By all accounts the Dartmouth Course is a relaxing course, ideal for higher handicappers and those just looking to ease into their golf break. The Championship Course on the other hand is a serious test of golf!

Off the backs it can stretch to around the 7200 yard mark owing to its setting in the South Devon countryside, it features severe slopes and elevation changes from start to finish.

If you can, I'd recommend hiring buggies as this course is a tough walk and try to avoid stepping in the divot I took with my drive on the 13th tee...don't want you guys twisting your ankles out there!

We stayed for 2 nights Dinner B&B and I must say that the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was far and away above the standard of the 3 stars the hotel has. I cannot fault it at all. The Championship golf course is an absolute credit to the greenkeeping staff.

I set off from Sussex on the 1st September heading for a three night stay at the Dartmouth Golf & Country Club and I'm happy to report the club was really easy to find, with a lovely entrance and a long, sweeping drive up to the hotel. A warm welcome greeted me at the reception desk where I checked in and upon getting to my room I was somewhat surprised, but delighted, to find my room was in fact a suite! This made for an extremely comfrotable stay and a great start to the trip. I chose Dartmouth because I was able to meet up with old friends with whom I could play golf. The golf course here is beautiful, with fabulous views over the Devon countryside. The long walks between tees were fairly steep in places and I discovered muscles in my legs I never knew I had; a buggy would come highly recommended from this weary golfer! I was blessed with beautiful weather too so the course was a joy to play and I really enjoyed meeting up with old friends for a game.  The food  at the resort was delicious and I can honestly say the breakfast I had was one of the best I have ever tasted. The staff were very friendly and helpful too which made for a really nice stay at Dartmouth Golf & Country Club.For a quite, no frills weekend of golf, Dartmouth ticks all the boxes.

Good course, quick greens, bunkers were in poor condition, lots of rain in the day's before so some were flooded and sand was hard if you could play it.

A great variable 9 hole course made up to 18 holes by the simple expedient of using different tees f0r the second nine holes. This was very useful in preparation for the Championship course the next day and always has the potential for serious practice and enjoyment. Also providing great views..
