Willingcott Valley Golf Club

Willingcott Valley Golf Club offers a golfing experience that is genuinely unique on the North Devon coast, combining an eighteen-hole course set in a secluded and beautifully wooded valley with an atmosphere of friendly informality that makes it an absolute pleasure to visit regardless of your ability level. Located just a mile or two from Woolacombe, the club is one of the most conveniently placed golf facilities in the area for you staying in the village, and the parkland setting provides a very different and thoroughly enjoyable contrast to the links courses available at Saunton and Ilfracombe.

The course at Willingcott winds through the contours of a steep-sided valley, with holes that climb and drop through woodland and open fairways in a way that is interesting and varied without being overly demanding. The course is well suited to golfers of all abilities, from those who play regularly and want an enjoyable if slightly less testing round, to those who are relatively new to the game and want to build confidence without the added pressure of a full championship track.

The facilities at Willingcott are well maintained, with a comfortable clubhouse, a welcoming bar and catering service, and a reasonable selection of practice facilities including a putting green. Green fees are very competitive by regional standards, and the combination of good value, convenient location and a pleasant course environment means the club attracts a loyal following of regulars alongside its you clientele.

A particular strength of Willingcott is the quality of its welcome. The club has a genuinely friendly and unpretentious atmosphere that makes it easy for visiting golfers to feel at home from the moment they arrive, without any of the formality or stuffiness that can sometimes be associated with more established clubs.

Willingcott Valley Golf Club is a brilliant local option for golfers staying at Woolacombe who want to fit in a relaxed round during their holiday.
