Saunton East offers something courses with clifftop thrills rarely can – namely the maintaining of an excellent standard from first to last.
This historic links itself often defies straightforward description. Certainly it is an acquired taste, but playing here on several occasions brings truly great joy.
Standing on the first tee box, perched high above the sea, the view is astonishing. East Devon certainly doesn’t rely on its views, however, and is a superb test of golf.
The West course is slightly shorter than the East but hazards dotted all over the place means it provides a sound test. A wonderful compliment to the neigbouring East.
An exceptionally attractive course with flashes of design brilliance. A truly exacting and challenging set-up – especially for what is a hotel course.
