Tavistock Golf Club - Dartmoor and Devon

Most golf courses have some unique features but Tavistock Golf Club, lying on the western slopes of Dartmoor,within the National Park and has the added attraction of being in an area of outstanding beauty. A possible distraction for the most dedicated and committed golfer!

With its wide fairways and sweeping vistas the course looks deceptively simple but it offers a challenging test for the unwary golfer.

Nature has provided its own hazards at Tavistock, with thick gorse and bracken, plus the odd clump of scrubby trees. There are also cunningly hidden bunkers that can trap the most proficient golfer.

The thin soil not only provides tight lies, it also makes the greens lightning fast. Because of the thin soil the course and greens drain very quickly allowing year-long play.

Tavistock's well-stocked Pro Shop (www.stuartsteelgolf.co.uk) with Professional Stuart Steel assisted by Simon Invest, is next to the clubhouse. The visiting golfer will not be short of expert advice if his swing or putting is not going well.

In 2004 the club was victorious in the EGU Champion Club Tournament and represented the EGU in Greece.

There is nothing better than, after a round of golf whether you have played good or bad, to return to the comfort of the clubhouse.

Tavistock Club House has changed many times since the club was founded in 1890 and the price of gin and whisky is no longer 3d per tot!

The club is rightly proud of its first class catering by its experienced chef and the friendliness of its staff.

Enjoy a good day's golfing on a challenging course in a unique setting followed by good food and friendly service.
