If you’re wanting to play at a golf club in Devon you probably already know how lovely the county is and what great fun a good round of golf is. There are many different golf clubs in Devon and so it is worth finding the best one for your needs before you go.

Firstly, if you already know people who have played golf in a club in Devon, ask which club it was and whether or not they would recommend it. Also, if you know anyone in Devon, ask their opinion too – a club that comes with a personal recommendation is likely to be one that you will like.

If you don’t have any recommendations to go on don’t worry, you can still find a good place to play.

If you search the internet you will find a selection of clubs. They will all have different costs associated with them and that will be a factor. Another factor is obviously whether or not they have availability on the dates that you want.

If there are a few of you, you may be entitled to discounts which will help keep costs down. It may also be the case that you have to enrol as a club member first and this is something you must check with the club.

The quality of the green will be important and you should find out what it is. You may also want to hire some clubs and if this is the case, check this also.

Many golf clubs have pro’s who are available to give you lessons to improve your game. Find out who the pro is and whether they are able to coach you because you could get a lot of benefit from this.

The location is also important of you are planning on seeing more of the county. Try and get a course that is near to other attractions you want to visit.

Sometimes, clubs have on-site accommodation and this is ideal if you are staying for a while and want to really concentrate on your game – plus it means that you can get into the social aspects too because you are in the thick of it.

If you are on a smaller budget you may find it worth booking out of peak season because prices will be lower. Unfortunately with this strategy you do run the risk of getting bad weather. If you don’t mind wrapping up warm, that may not be so much of a problem, but if the conditions are really bad you won’t be able to play at all – such is the UK weather!

If you are heading to Devon to play golf you are sure to have a great time because the county is beautiful and the game is good fun. Happy holidays.
