Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bigbury's coastal location truly impact the golfing experience?
You'll find Bigbury's clifftop location means breathtaking, sweeping views of Burgh Island and the Devon coastline on nearly every hole. Be prepared for the wind to be a significant factor; it adds a real challenge and demands creative shot-making, making each round unique.
What's the most memorable or challenging hole at Bigbury Golf Club?
The 7th hole, a par-3 dropping dramatically towards the sea, is truly unforgettable and often cited as the signature. You'll need to judge the wind perfectly to hit the green, but the panoramic backdrop makes any score feel like a win.
When is the best time of year to play Bigbury, considering the coastal weather?
We recommend visiting in late spring or early autumn for the best balance of weather and fewer crowds. The course can be exposed, so a sunny, less windy day truly enhances the experience, though a crisp winter round can also be stunning.

Bigbury is surprisingly playable for a wide range of handicaps, but it certainly rewards strategic thinking and good course management. You'll need to respect the elements and choose your shots wisely, especially when the wind picks up, making it a true test of links golf.
