About Royal North Devon Golf Club

Royal North Devon at Westward Ho! was founded in 1864 and is the oldest golf course in the country. It is regarded as the St. Andrews of the south. The course can play as tough as any of the UK's more famous links layouts and is a place of huge historical importance. Inside the welcoming clubhouse, the golf museum, honors boards and the clubs competition trophies can be visited. On their own they tell the story of the history of the course and club.

Royal North Devon Golf Club 1/2
Holes: 18
The course, that was founded in 1864, is largely unchanged. Royal North Devon is pure, raw exhilaration and ultimately the experience of playing a fast running links in a breeze. The course still tests the best in the game. Although golf has changed hugely in the last century and continues to develop and grow, links golf will always be the test o

Royal North Devon Golf Club
A flying bat, a zombie and 500 sheep! Royal North Devon must be England's oldest and arguably most eccentric golf course. I had heard several negative reports prior to our visit to Westward Ho! (one of only two towns in the world with an exclamation mark in their names) from those who thought the course was too raw but I have to say we loved our visit. This is largely…

Played Royal North Devon on a sunny windy day in June. As stated before in other reviews RND is the oldest (1864) club in England. This is clearly shown in the clubhouse what has been turned in to a golf museum. I was most impressed by the gentlemens locker room with beautiful old(I guess original) dark wood lockers. The course it self peaks a bit to early in my opinion…

Royal North Devon Golf Club
Royal North Devon, or Westward Ho! as it is often fondly referred to, is a very special place. Perhaps it should be called Royal North Heaven! That much is obvious from the moment you drive into the car park and are informed, by an unmissable sign on the side of the historic clubhouse, that you have just arrived at England's oldest course. However, many of those who pla…

Royal North Devon Golf Club
Royal North Devon is a special place. It's the closest you can get to experiencing a course how it would have been played in the 1860's. It's like stepping back in time when you go through the gate and head out on the course. I've played a number of times in the last few years and each time I go out I notice something different about the course. It's golf in its origina…

Royal North Devon Golf Club
Wednesday: the oldest course of England (1864), Royal North Devon GC. A must-play! Totally different from all the other courses we’ve played. Steeped in history, and not a lot seemed to have changed. Sheep will accompany you, during the round, but they won’t bother you, these traditional grass-mowers. The course is a great experience and will not be forgotten for a long t…
