Teignmouth Golf Club

Teignmouth Golf Club sits high on Haldon Moor with big views out towards the South Devon coast. Designed in 1924 by Dr Alister MacKenzie, the architect behind Augusta National, it's an 18-hole par 69 that measures 6,105 yards from the back tees and proves you don't need huge length for a test.

The course is shaped by wind, elevation changes and firm moorland turf, so you'll often be better off thinking your way round rather than simply hitting driver. Eleven two-tiered greens add another layer of challenge, especially if you find yourself on the wrong level. MacKenzie's routing uses the natural contours to create angles and deception around the greens, where reading the tiers and judging pace becomes the difference between birdie and bogey. The set of par 3s is a real highlight too, mixing short, nervy shots with longer carries that demand committed iron play, each asking a different question from flighting a wedge to holding a long iron in the breeze.

Off the course, you've got everything you need for a smooth day out. There's a well stocked Pro Shop, spacious changing rooms and good practice areas so you can get loosened up before the first tee and tidy things up after the round. The clubhouse terrace looks over the Teign Estuary and is a great spot for a post-round pint or something to eat, with fresh local dishes on the menu.

Just a few minutes from the seaside town of Teignmouth, it's a great option for a Devon coast break that mixes quality golf with easy off-course options.
