Rated 4.8 / 5 by visiting golfers, societies, and holidaymakers across North Devon.
"Sea views from every tee — truly unforgettable!"
"Played Ilfracombe on a bright, breezy afternoon during our holiday in North Devon. The views across the Bristol Channel towards Wales and Lundy are simply breathtaking. The course was in immaculate condition, greens ran true, and the clubhouse team gave us such a warm welcome. A must-play course!"
"Fantastic clifftop layout & superb dining"
"A genuine hidden gem of the South West. Greens were fast and receptive, and the elevation changes test every shot in your bag. The food afterwards in the 1892 Bar was superb — excellent beer-battered cod and chips overlooking the 18th green. We will definitely be back next summer!"
"Outstanding hospitality for our society trip"
"Organised a society outing for 16 golfers to Ilfracombe. From Mark in the Pro Shop sorting our electric buggy fleet to the catering staff in the restaurant, everything was first class. Clifftop scenery rivalled by very few venues in England. Every player in our group loved it."
"Incredible value & standard greens all year"
"Visited with a County Card and were thoroughly impressed. The coastal micro-climate means they play on standard greens with no temporary winter mats, which is extraordinary. Dramatic, challenging, and endlessly enjoyable with friendly members on the course."
"The 13th hole is worth the visit alone!"
"They say you see the sea from every tee and it is 100% true. Every hole reveals a new panoramic perspective over Hele Bay and the cliffs. The stroke index 1 par-4 13th is an exhilarating test of shot-shaping. Great value green fees and top-notch rental gear."
"A warm welcome and stunning coastal golf"
"Second time playing here while staying in Woolacombe. The views are out of this world, especially in the late afternoon sun. Very friendly clubhouse with great draught ales and a lovely outdoor terrace. Do yourself a favour and book a round if you're in North Devon."
