I must start this review by putting the golf to one side for a moment and expressing just what a magnificent place Bovey Castle is.

Bovey Castle sits in a beautiful Dartmoor setting, a pretty and well-kept course, with superb greens.

Bovey Castle seems to float under the radar for Devon courses and I played it for the first time in the heat of July 2025.

I played Bovey Castle in early July 2018, much of the course is set in a remote picturesque valley below the hotel with the back 9 climbing back up the hill onto more exposed moorland type surroundings.
