Highbullen Hotel Golf Club Devon
Highbullen Golf & Country Club’s superb award winning golf course, set in richly wooded parkland, boasts breathtaking views towards the Devon landscapes of Dartmoor and Exmoor. It’s easy-walking 5,570 yards, par-68 provides an excellent test of golf for the accomplished player without creating an unfair or unrewarding challenge for the novice.
The course is designed to make you think about the club selection and shot execution of each golf stroke, rather than just a requirement to hit huge distances. The well-placed greens invite you to shoot for the pin and will hold a well-flighted ball, while the bunkering is visually impressive with mounding and contouring that blends in nicely with the natural surroundings. Water comes into play on quite a few holes, especially the par threes, and this adds to the challenge resulting in a wonderfully rewarding golfing experience.
If the weather turns foul, all is not lost for the golf enthusiast, as, with the introduction of The Pavilion at Highbullen, a Smart Golf simulator and indoor putting green have been made available. With a new Pro Shop, Locker Room, dedicated shower and changing rooms, Spike Bar and lounge area, golfers are catered for in a way few other golf clubs in the South West can match. Reciprocal links with Royal North Devon (founded in 1864, it is the oldest course in England and Wales), and Saunton Sands Golf Club (36 holes voted in the top 100 courses in Golf World) means that some of the best golf courses in the UK are available to guests.
