Royal North Devon?

Anyone played here/a member? Apparently the holiday house I'm staying in next week is literally next door - be rude not to try and squeeze a round in if it's any good!

have played. Funky and quirky. Usually has sheep, horses and cows about the place. Worth a knock.

think the word youre looking for is marmite

worth 1 round to decide which side of the fence you are

Liked the front 9, but back 9 was not very enjoyable. But yeah, it’s golfing history as the oldest course (I think?) in England and you’ll be right next to it, so of course you should play it. Would I travel to play it again? No.

Haha! You're not really selling to me. But as has been said, I'm right next to it. Would be rude not to do a twilight round one afternoon

Im a firm believer in try anything once!

Plus its a few hours of peace by yourself!

Be very wary of hitting your ball into the Great Sea Rushes...they present a very prickly problem.

The clubhouse and JH Taylor history/museum is fascinating if you are at all interested in the history of the game.

Just had a look on their YouTube flyovers. Those Sea rushes look a bit menacing! Will take plenty of balls haha.

But don't take plastic tees........I think they banned them a couple of years ago

I have approx 1000 wooden tees which I don't seem to have made much of a dent in for the last 12 years...so should be ok.

I like it. It’s not a destination in itself but if you’re down there. I think it’s the 5th, it’s a cracking links par 4

There are four or five good holes on the front nine. Might be less since I last played there as the sea may have taken one or two. Get to Saunton where there are two much better courses, and only a short drive.

I'd love to play Saunton but not unless I was a member's guest - I've got a wife on long term sick and living off one income so £130 a round is probably a bit steep at the minute

RND is a smashing place to play. Quirky as anything, usually great greens... yep Saunton is better, but you'll day that about lots of places.

Have a look a Bude down the cost if you want cheaper and fun. Twilight tickets there are great value. (And no Bude isn't aa good as Saunton )

Played there a couple of weeks ago, I like it.

The rushes only really threaten on a few holes and many of the others are as wide open as you're likely to find anywhere.

The museum is great but a little lacking in classic clubs/items from the postwar era. (I had more classic clubs in my bag than were in the museum)

I would suggest trying Ifracombe … super course with amazing views.

Always enjoy a game there, especially in good weather.

Forget the golf, you have to go surfing!
