Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play golf directly within Torbay?

You won't find any golf courses directly within the Torbay area - that's Paignton, Torquay, and Brixham. While it's a beautiful coastal region, its charm lies in its beaches and seaside towns, not its fairways. If you're looking to tee off, you'll need to venture a bit further afield.

Since Torbay doesn't have golf courses, what are the best non-golf activities?

Torbay is fantastic for coastal walks, exploring the English Riviera's beaches, and enjoying fresh seafood. We recommend visiting Kents Cavern prehistoric caves or taking a boat trip from Brixham harbour for a different kind of adventure. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing break, just without the clubs.

What's the best time of year to visit Torbay if my trip isn't centered around golf?

We suggest visiting Torbay from late spring to early autumn, roughly May through September. The weather is generally warmer and more reliable for enjoying the beaches and outdoor attractions. You'll find the towns bustling and all the local eateries in full swing during these months.

Are there any good golf courses within a short drive of Torbay?

Absolutely, you'll find excellent golf options just outside the immediate Torbay area. We recommend exploring courses like Churston Golf Club or Dainton Park Golf Club, both within a 15-20 minute drive. These offer enjoyable rounds with some lovely Devon scenery, making Torbay a decent base for day trips.

Could Torbay serve as a good base for a golf trip exploring Devon's courses?

While Torbay itself lacks courses, it can be a surprisingly good base for exploring the wider Devon golf scene. You'll find plenty of accommodation and dining options, plus non-golf activities for rest days or companions. Just be prepared for short drives to reach the fairways, as the best courses are a bit outside the immediate bay.
