Choosing Devon Golf Clubs
If you are looking to play at a golf club in Devon you probably already know how lovely the county is and how great a good round of golf is. There are many different golf clubs in Devon and so it is worth choosing the best one for your needs before you go.
First of all, if you already know people who have played golf in a club in the county, ask which club it was and whether or not they liked it. Also, if you know anyone in Devon, ask their opinion too – a club that comes with a personal recommendation is likely to be one that will suit you.
If you don’t have any recommendations to go on don’t worry, you can still find a good club to play at.
If you look on the web you will find a selection of clubs. They will all have different costs associated with them and that will be a factor. Another factor is obviously whether or not they have availability on the dates that you want.
If there is a group of you, you may be entitled to discounts which will help reduce costs. It may also be the case that you have to be a club member first and this is something you must check with the club.
The quality of the green will be important and you should check this first. You may also want to hire some clubs and if this is the case, check this also.
Many golf clubs have pro’s who are available to give you lessons to improve your game. Find out who the pro is and whether they are able to teach you because you could get a lot of benefit from this.
The location of the club is also important of you are planning on getting out and seeing more of the county. Try and get a course that is near to other things you want to visit.
Sometimes, clubs have on-site accommodation and this is ideal if you are staying for a while and want to really concentrate on your golf – plus it means that you can get into the social aspects too because you are always there.
If you are on a tight budget you may find it worth booking out of peak season because prices will be lower. Unfortunately with this strategy you do run the risk of running in to bad weather. If you don’t mind wrapping up warm, that may not be so much of a problem, but if the weather turns really bad you won’t get a game at all – such is the English weather!
If you are planning a trip to Devon to play golf you are sure to have a good time because the county is beautiful and the game is good fun. Happy holidays.
