Course Information / Course Map
More usually associated with King Arthur and the Pilgrim Fathers, the Southwest of England has a very fine selection of courses from which to choose. The links at Westward Ho! is the cradle of links golf in England and also was the first ladies golf club in the world. Whilst just across the estuary lies Saunton GC, described Golf Monthly's editor as 'apart from St Andrews, probably the best 36 holes of links golf in the country'.
The Southwest offers some wonderful courses and some great scenery. There is plenty of accommodation and with fast motorway access from both London and Birmingham its well worth taking your clubs.
