Frequently Asked Questions
What's the play like at Downes Crediton - is it a real challenge or more relaxed?
You'll find Downes Crediton offers a fantastic mix, leaning towards a thoughtful challenge rather than a brute force test. The undulating terrain and cleverly placed bunkers demand accuracy, especially on the back nine where the course truly opens up and rewards strategic play.
When's the best time of year to play Downes Crediton for ideal conditions?
We always recommend late spring or early autumn for the best experience at Downes Crediton. The English weather is usually more settled then, meaning drier fairways and greens running true, plus you avoid the peak summer crowds.

Are there any standout holes or unique features at Downes Crediton I should look forward to?
Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 7th - it's a beauty, requiring a precise shot over a gully to a well-guarded green. The views from the elevated tees on the 12th and 13th also give you a real sense of the Devon countryside, making them memorable.
What's the vibe like at Downes Crediton after a round, and is there a good place to grab a bite?
The atmosphere at Downes Crediton after a round is wonderfully friendly and relaxed; it's a proper local club where everyone feels welcome. Their bar and restaurant serve up solid, comforting food - we particularly enjoy their hearty sandwiches and the local ale on tap.
