Tavistock Golf Club Devon

Welcome to Tavistock Golf Club, situated on the western slopes of the Dartmoor National Park, an area of outstanding beauty. The golf course was established in 1890 and with continual updating and maintenance to the highest standards it offers a challenging test to golfers of all abilities.

Because of the excellent drainage the course and the greens (which are generally true and very fast) rarely closes, thus allowing trolleys to be used all the year round and there is no need for winter greens or tees, except during major course maintenance. The Club is proud of its reputation for first class catering provided by experienced chefs and friendly staff. 

Most golf courses have some unique features but lying on the western slopes of Dartmoor, within the national park boundary 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 simply but its 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. We very seldom need the use of temporary greens or tees at Tavistock.
