6,045 yards, par 70 — winding through mature trees and Devon banks, with far views to Dartmoor from the tenth tee. Drained to play all year, on greens visitors call 'fast and true.'
We are investing in the course, and the centrepiece is a new island green — a genuine risk-and-reward hole of the kind you normally travel a long way to play. Work is underway now.
Water on every side and one decision to make. The most talked-about shot on the course before it has even opened.
Continued work across the parkland layout, on top of greens that visitors already single out as fast and true.

Step through all 18 holes with the club’s own hole plans — yardages off all three tees, par, stroke index and how to play each one.
Hole 1
Typically plays into the prevailing wind, making it play longer than the card suggests. A shallow green protected by a bunker front centre rewards an accurate drive.
Typically plays into the prevailing wind, making it play longer than the card suggests. A shallow green protected by a bunker front centre rewards an accurate drive.
Under 400 yards and usually into the wind — a par here is a score to be proud of. A long fade uses the natural slope of the fairway. Many trees left.
A large fairway bunker left and trees right make for a narrow fairway. The approach is uphill — take at least one extra club.
A demanding par 3 requiring a full shot. A 180-yard carry from the white avoids the ditch at the front. Split-level green with testing borrows.
From the plateau tee, drive to the fairway marker for a good par. Position centre or right to open the green. A line of trees guards the left.
Stroke index 1 and always tough to reach in two. Favour the left as the green falls away right, and beware the bunker middle-right of the front edge.
Big hitters can reach in dry conditions but risk bunkers left and right. Trees line both sides of a narrow fairway; the green runs severely right to left.
A birdie chance — allow for the following wind. Trees left, a tight hedge right, and a green that runs steeply front to back.
The fairway runs left to right — aim left to let the drive roll to the centre. A Devon bank guards the left. A good par chance with two accurate shots.
Two good straight shots needed. Easy to run through the green, which climbs steeply front to back. Trees right, Devon bank left.
Trees right can push a draw into the ditch down the left. The flattest green on the course, but the prevailing wind makes it tough to reach in two.
The signature — and nemesis — hole. A clean drive can run into the stream; a fade finds trees, a pull finds the ditch. Two good shots clearing the bunkers is heaven.
A straight tee shot sets up an easy chip onto a long green. Out of bounds left; Devon bank and trees right. Narrow entrance, flat once on.
A straightforward par 3 — but be straight for a birdie chance. Sloping green, with a prevailing wind moving the ball left to right.
A slight dog-leg left — aim centre to right for a clear shot at the green. In firm conditions the second runs down the slope, so take one less club.
Wind and conditions make all the difference. Avoid the left at all cost. One of the hardest greens to one-putt — top to bottom can run you off.
A severe left dog-leg. Aim for the pylon to set up a straight shot in. Most lay up before the ditch; big hitters need a 180-yard carry to cut the corner.
A homeward par 5. Don't be tempted into a big drive that pulls out of bounds left. Three comfortable shots home — beware two hidden bunkers right of the green.
"A little gem of a course — rolling beautifully, every time."
