Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play golf in Devon, England?

We've explored Devon extensively, and here's the honest truth: you won't find any golf courses within Devon itself. It's a beautiful region known for its stunning coastline and national parks, but not for its fairways. If golf is a priority, you'll need to look beyond its borders.

I'm planning a trip to Devon; where's the nearest golf I can play?

If you're set on visiting Devon but still want to hit the links, your best bet is to look north or east to neighboring counties. Cornwall to the west or Somerset to the east offer excellent courses, though you'll need to factor in travel time. We recommend researching courses around Bude in North Cornwall or Taunton in Somerset for your closest options.

What kind of trip should a golfer plan if they're visiting Devon?

Since golf isn't on the menu in Devon, we suggest embracing the region's other incredible offerings. Think coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, exploring Dartmoor National Park, or enjoying the charming seaside towns. It's a fantastic destination for a non-golfing break, perfect for recharging before your next golf adventure elsewhere.

When is the best time to visit Devon if I'm a golfer looking for a non-golfing break?

For a non-golfing trip to Devon, we find late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) ideal. The weather is generally pleasant for hiking and sightseeing, and you avoid the peak summer crowds and higher prices. You'll enjoy the stunning scenery without the worry of booking tee times.

What unique highlights should I experience in Devon, knowing I can't golf there?

While you won't be swinging clubs, Devon offers unique experiences like exploring the Jurassic Coast's ancient cliffs or hiking the wild tors of Dartmoor. Don't miss sampling local ciders and fresh seafood in a coastal pub. It's a chance to swap your golf shoes for hiking boots and discover a different kind of natural beauty.
