Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of golf experience can I expect at Thurlestone?

Thurlestone offers a fantastic blend of classic links and dramatic cliff-top golf, giving you a truly unique round. You'll navigate traditional links challenges on the front nine before climbing to enjoy breathtaking coastal views on the back. It's a memorable mix that keeps you engaged.

When is the best time of year to play Thurlestone to avoid the worst of the weather?

We recommend late spring through early autumn for the most consistent weather, typically May to September. While the views are stunning year-round, playing outside these months can mean battling stronger winds and more rain, which truly adds to the course's already significant challenge.

Which holes at Thurlestone really stand out and why?

The 10th hole, a par-3 perched right on the cliff edge, is an absolute showstopper - the views are incredible, but don't let them distract you from the shot. We also love the demanding par-4 18th, which brings you back to the clubhouse with a real sense of accomplishment after a challenging round.

How challenging is Thurlestone for an average golfer?

Thurlestone is a fair test for most golfers, but don't underestimate it. The exposed nature of the course means wind is often a major factor, and the undulating terrain demands accurate shot-making. You'll need to think your way around, especially on the cliff-top holes where precision is key.

What practical advice do you have for someone playing Thurlestone for the first time?

Definitely bring layers, even on a sunny day, as the coastal wind can pick up quickly and change conditions. We also suggest packing extra balls; those cliff-edge holes are beautiful but unforgiving if your shot goes astray. Embrace the views and enjoy the walk - it's a special place.
