Maybe there are no other members on the forum other than the 2 you know about. Or maybe there are and they are not willing to host(I don't know of any others on the forum btw). It isn't compulsory for anyone to host or say if they are a member tbh.
The forum I would not have said had loads of people from the Devon area and many other areas of the UK(for example not many from Essex, Norfolk either). Forum people tends to be around London area/Kent/Surrey area, some parts of Scotland/Ireland and high NW area.
Thought I would say, I did post on the other thread you posted, Saunton do a £45 twilight rate, which is quite a good rate, iirc think it is after about 2.30. Hope that helps.
Hope you have a great trip.

The original post does not read well in my opinion.It reads like the 2 guys are doing the ‘member’ a favour.
Perhaps I have misinterpreted but words like appreciate, grateful initially would have been helpful. They are 2 top courses and not a muni threatened with closure.

I do apologise, maybe it could have been written better but I was just making a general enquiry

As far as I know, there's me from Libbaton and a member from Ilfracombe on the forum from N Devon.

The following is intended purely as a potential explanation; it is not in any way intended as a criticism.
I don't know how others feel about forum invites, but my general rule is that unless I know someone, or that someone is recommended to me by someone else I know then I won't invite them to my course. I've invited plenty to mine, but I've met them at other forum meets, or otherwise through golf, or someone I trust has told me that they're okay. Had my fingers burnt once (not via here I hasten to add), and it's an experience I won't be repeating. And much as I like and am proud of my club, it is not a top 100 club; I'd imagine members at those get far more requests than I do, and consequently are far more protective of their course than I am.
Phil, you use the forum as you see fit, there are no requirements to attend meets or post. I don't recognise your name from meets and you're not the most prolific poster, so I wonder, assuming those who are members of the clubs in question saw your post, if they are exercising a similar degree of caution?

Not sure when exactly you are going to Devon.
However the weekend of 11th/12th there are 2 Opens @£30 each atRoyal North Devon which is a steal. Perhaps a week too late
