Nestled within the captivating landscape of Bigbury Bay, Thurlestone Golf Club emerges as a beacon of golfing excellence amidst the splendor of Devon's coastline. Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, this distinguished course offers not only fantastic golf but also breathtaking views of the dramatic Cornish coastline and the serene Avon Estuary, creating an unforgettable backdrop for every swing.

Designed by the legendary Harry Colt, Thurlestone Golf Club's course delivers an exhilarating golfing experience that seamlessly integrates with the rugged seascape. With well-maintained fairways that encourage precision and strategy, each hole presents a unique challenge, ensuring that no two rounds are alike.

​

The first 12 holes, stretching along the headland, offer a true links experience, complete with stunning ocean vistas and good protection from the wind. As the round progresses, players encounter a series of well-designed par 5s and a finishing stretch of holes that are truly memorable, culminating in the spectacular view from the clubhouse overlooking the 18th hole.

While Thurlestone Golf Club exudes the feel of a links course, it is, in fact, a downland cliff-top course.

For serious golfers and enthusiasts alike, Thurlestone Golf Club stands as a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. A must-play destination for those seeking a harmonious blend of challenge, natural beauty, and the timeless allure of the game, Thurlestone promises an unforgettable golfing adventure that will leave a lasting impression on every visitor.
