Thurlestone Golf Club, running along the coast of Big Bury Bay, offers a difficult and beautiful set of holes to play.

The Royal North Devon Golf Club, built in 1864 is the oldest golf course in the whole of England. Located on the Northam Boroughs the course is often referred to as "Westward Ho!". This is a unique course in that golfers, nature, and even wildlife like sheep coincide on these common grounds. Amateur competitions, have, in the past, been held at these hallowed grounds. This is a intermediate course making it great for the historian at heart or the novice golfer.

Tiverton Golf Club, located relatively close to Torquay is a 16 hole course that is both easy in spots and rather challenging in others.
