Saunton Golf Club is home to two of the great mature links golf courses of the World. The pair of Championship courses is located in the Braunton Burrows of North Devon less than ½ mile from the Atlantic Ocean set in the towering dunes that form the backdrop to their magnificent location. The basis for the present East Course was laid out under the direction of the renowned course architect W. Herbert Fowler in the 1920’s and so began the reputation as one of the finest links courses in the country.

 Numerous well respected writers and golfers consider the Saunton links courses among the best in the UK, with Golf World’s latest survey of the World’s Best 100 Courses ranking the East Course at No 60 between Valderrama and Royal Troon. Golf Monthly also gives the two Saunton courses high rankings of the best courses in UK and Ireland with the East at No.21 and the West in their Top 200.

 National Championship golf is played regularly over both courses with the East Course hosting many R & A and EGU tournaments during the recent past. The West course was used in 2012 by the English Golf Union for the Mid Amateur Championships, Logan Trophy. The East Course was the host of the South West Amateur Championships and West of England Championships in 2011.  The East Course will host the English Amateur Championships in 2014.

 Tourism in the South West of England is a major contributor to the local economy and golfing holidays are increasingly in demand for short breaks. The accommodation ranges from luxury hotels to the homes of local people offering comfortable Bed and Breakfast. The Saunton golfing experience will always offer excellent value group and society packages designed to complement your itinerary. A relaxed and warm welcome awaits all visitors and, unusually for a members club golf, tee times at the weekends are normally available on one or both of the courses.
