Bigbury Golf Club, located in the beautiful South Hams area of South Devon, offers the golfer a very scenic and enjoyable golfing challenge. The JH Taylor-designed course is known for its spectacular sea, river and countryside views, as well as its open and undulating layout.
As the club literature states: "Bigbury is a beautiful 18-hole clifftop course overlooking the sea. It's an ideal holiday course; challenging enough for low-handicappers but not too daunting for the holiday maker. The course, which is playable all year round, provides outstanding views with Dartmoor to the north, the winding river Avon running near a number of holes, and breathtaking scenes of Bantham beach and Burgh Island".
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Worth checking ahead to ensure tee-time availability. Handicap certificates preferred.
