Played RND in May of 2007, I echo the warm welcome described by others. I was asked by pro shop staff "Do you know that this is a golf course unlike almost any other?" I replied that I was well aware of its nature and that was why I was there. With the assistance of a very friendly gentleman as a caddie I enjoyed playing the oldest links course in England, and reveled in its historic and somewhat idiosyncratic nature. Knowing the history of the course, it does feel like a step back in time, and that alone is worth the fee. Don't miss it if you get the chance.

Totally idiosyncratic like no other. Ridiculously wide open in places, chlaustrophobically tight in the famous Sea Rushes holes around the turn. There's also a huge sleeper-faced bunker that's almost 100 yards wide, and animals grazing freely across the course. The par 3s are absolutely brilliant (the 5th is probably the best uphill par 3 I've played) and the jewels in the layout.

This is the oldest course in England and anyone who likes links golf or, more importantly, has any kind of appreciation for the history of our wonderful game must play here.

Very warm welcome upon arrival in the Pro Shop on a sunny morning in August 07. First two holes are straight and boring, but from the 3rd onwards this is a gem of a course. Its certainly not in the same class as Saunton across the bay, but in terms of enjoyment I think its excellent. The holes that follow the coastline are the best as the land has bumps and hollows that are perfect for links style golf. Its certainly not the hardest links course I have played or the prettiest, even though the views across Westward Ho are lovely. But I thoroughly enjoyed my round and would return.

I ve played this course twice now and love it. Its got the lot Sheep horsers lovely views roads and the odd walker or too. But i have to say this is the most friendliest of course i a visited the members are just great. Staff at the shop are warm friendly very helpful and the food after a round is well worth stopping for. I m making it my annual trip each year. My advice if you play golf and your in Deven give it a go you will love it. Its a very good test of golfing skills.

Roger White (England) 02/10/06

Had a most enjoyable game with my 2 son-in-laws whilst on holiday and found it to be everything I remembered about it some 25 yrs. ago. A real test of golf in the finest links style with fairway undulations reminiscent of Royal St. Georges, Sandwich although this is not quite in that league. Strange arrangement with all the greens roped off as this must be all common grazing land, but hardly noticed either the small inconvenience of the ropes and the sheep and horses wandering around. Superb golf museum in the clubhouse and warm friendly welcome from the the pro shop to the bar staff. Definetely worth a visit.

A most unusual round of golf as on the opening and finishing 2 holes there are sheep in aboundance, and horses too!

This only adds to the charm of this excellent golf course. An examination from tee too green, set in beautiful surroundings. Greens are fast, true and an excellent test.

Members are welcoming, as is the greating you receive in the pro shop.

Check out the memorabilia they have in the club house. They used to shoot 78 with these clubs!

A must play for visitors in the area.
