The land at Braunton Burrows has hosted golf since 1897 and given us today’s premier golf course in the West Country since Herbert Fowler created the East course in the 1920s. He also designed Walton Heath, The Berkshire, and Delamere Forest to name a few. The West course emulates the general characteristics of the East course but has its own distinctions and offers no weak hole. They all require clever and strong placing of your ball off the tee to get at the greens with your approach.
Visitors are normally accepted weekdays and weekends after 9:30am by prior arrangement.

This day in June we headed for Devon to play Saunton East. What an experience was that! Unanimously voted the best course of the week. Rolling hills, meandering fairways and perfect greens. It is said that this could be a contender for the British Open, if it only had a few more bunkers added. Very professional golfshop, by the way. Two days later we played the West Cours…

En especial el recorrido West es un puro links, cortito pero para ir siempre por calle. Greens impecables. Drenaje fantástico. El recorrido East es más largo y greens más movidos. Rouge, calles, greens en perfecto estado. Trato muy agradable.

f anyone dare claim there is a better 36 holes of links golf at one golf club in England than at Saunton I'm pretty sure I could make an unquestionable case for this wonderful piece of linksland.
One of the things that confirms this for me is, not only the quality of every single hole, but the subtle yet significant differences between the two courses.
I've played both …
