- AddressDown Rd, Tavistock PL19 9AQ, UK
Founded in 1890, Tavistock is one of Devon’s oldest golf clubs and its crisp moorland turf and fast greens provide a links-like playing experience.
“As you walk the gentle slopes of this 6,500-yard course you look out at the rocky peaks of Dartmoor’s granite tors to the east,” wrote Ross Salmon in Devon Golf Clubs. “Westwards you can see the softer Cornish uplands, and to the south on a clear day there is a magnificent view as the rugged slopes blend into the lush Devon farmland that runs down to the sea.
There are no trees, nor are there any large areas of gorse or bracken. One has a feeling of playing in the wide open spaces of Dartmoor where the air is clean and pure as a mountain stream. You can hit your drive well off course on to the next fairway, and you can still have a shot to the green, so it is a course which the high handicap players will enjoy.
It is also offering a challenge to the better players because of the strategically placed bunkers, the natural hazards and the inhibiting doglegs on many of the longer holes.”
