Two Fantastic Golf Courses to Enjoy on Your Next Visit to Thurlestone Hotel

South Devon is one of the most beautiful places in the UK to enjoy a round of golf. With spectacular coastal scenery, rolling countryside, and well-maintained courses nearby, it’s no surprise that many guests choose to combine their stay at Thurlestone Hotel with time on the fairways.

We’re always looking for ways to enhance our guests’ experience, and we’re delighted to introduce two fantastic golfing opportunities for visitors who enjoy a round during their stay. With new partnerships and exclusive guest rates available, your next South Devon golf break has even more to offer.

A New Partnership with Dartmouth Golf & Country Club

After a valued two-year partnership with Thurlestone Golf Club, we’re pleased to be ringing the changes and introducing an exciting new relationship with Dartmouth Golf & Country Club.

Located just over half an hour’s drive from Thurlestone Hotel, Dartmouth Golf Club is set within the beautiful South Devon countryside and offers golfers a memorable experience in a peaceful and scenic setting.

One of the highlights of this partnership is access to the 18-hole Championship Course, available to our guests for just £25 per person. This excellent value round allows golfers to experience a challenging and rewarding course that blends technical play with stunning natural surroundings.

The course offers a varied layout with tree-lined fairways, water features, and strategically placed bunkers that provide interest for golfers of all abilities. Whether you’re an experienced player looking for a testing round or a leisure golfer wanting to enjoy a relaxing day outdoors, Dartmouth’s championship course provides a superb golfing experience.

For guests looking for something slightly shorter, Dartmouth also offers a 9-hole short course. This course is perfect for those who want to fit in a quick round during their stay, practice their short game, or enjoy a more relaxed golfing experience while still taking in the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

With two courses to choose from and exceptional guest rates, Dartmouth Golf & Country Club makes a wonderful addition to our golfing offering.

Enjoy an Exclusive Guest Rate at Bigbury Golf Club

Alongside our new partnership with Dartmouth, we’re also delighted to offer an enhanced guest discount at Bigbury Golf Club, one of the most scenic courses in the region.

Located just a short drive from the hotel, Bigbury Golf Club is well known for its breathtaking coastal views and welcoming atmosphere. Guests staying at Thurlestone Hotel can enjoy a round here for £50 per person, representing a saving of approximately 30 percent on the usual visitor rate.

Golf at Bigbury is as much about the scenery as it is about the game. The course sits high above the coastline and offers spectacular views across Bigbury Bay, Burgh Island, and the South Devon coast. On a clear day, the setting alone makes the round unforgettable.

The course itself provides a fair but engaging challenge for golfers of all abilities. Rolling fairways, well-positioned greens, and the ever-present coastal breeze add an extra element of strategy to every hole. It’s a course that rewards thoughtful play while allowing you to fully appreciate the stunning surroundings.

For many of our guests, a round at Bigbury is one of the highlights of their South Devon golf getaway.
