OUTDOOR SPORTS
The Royal North Devon Golf Course is the oldest in England and considered to be the St Andrew’s of England. This links course is very friendly, welcoming visitors who would like a game over the dunes near Westward Ho!. Go to www.royalnorthdevongolfclub.co.uk for more information.
Saunton Golf Club is another links course on the dunes at Saunton, between Braunton and Croyde. This club also welcomes visitors on its 36 hole course, which can be quite a challenge. For more information go to www.sauntongolf.co.uk .
Ilfracombe Golf Club is on the outskirts of Ilfracombe and if you can keep your eyes off the amazing views from this course, you will have a challenging game of golf. I say that because this course is not particularly long but is undulating, making for an unusual game! Visitors are most welcome and to find out more go to www.ilfracombegolfclub.com.
CHILDREN'S ACTIVITIES
