Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Torquay Golf Club, and what should I expect from the weather?

We've found late spring through early autumn - May to September - offers the most reliable weather for Torquay. You'll generally get milder temperatures and less rain, though a classic English shower can always surprise you. Be prepared for coastal breezes, which add a fun challenge to many holes, especially those with a bit of elevation.

How challenging is Torquay Golf Club for an average golfer, and what's its signature feature?

Torquay offers a really enjoyable test without being overly punishing; it's a fair course. You'll find the undulating terrain and well-placed bunkers demand thoughtful shot-making, but it's the stunning sea views from several elevated tees that truly make it memorable. Don't let the scenery distract you from the tricky greens.

Is Torquay Golf Club good value for money, and what are the typical green fees?

Absolutely, we consider Torquay excellent value, especially compared to some of the more famous coastal courses in England. Green fees typically range from £40-£60 depending on the season and day of the week, which is very reasonable for a course of this quality and location. You're getting a well-maintained track with fantastic views for a fair price.

What's the best way to unwind after a round at Torquay Golf Club, and what else is there to do nearby?

After your game, we always recommend heading into the clubhouse for a drink and soaking in the friendly atmosphere - their patio often has great views. For something beyond the course, Torquay's vibrant harbour is just a short drive away, offering plenty of excellent seafood restaurants and a lively promenade for a post-golf stroll.

Are there any specific holes at Torquay Golf Club that I should pay extra attention to?

You definitely want to be strategic on the par-3 7th; it's a beautiful downhill shot with the bay in the background, but the wind can play havoc. Also, the closing stretch, particularly the 17th and 18th, demands accuracy as you head back towards the clubhouse, often with a gallery watching. Don't get complacent at the end.
