Sir Francis Drake’s former hunting lodge offers country grandeur in rural Devon. The course makes the most of this setting, fully circumnavigating the historic house and taking in its many spacious bedrooms and grand living spaces.
Hole 7 sees a brief sojourn into the courtyard, but otherwise the course is played entirely within the house. Being almost entirely indoors, this course offers a splendid opportunity for year-round golfington without worrying about weather.
